Forum Rank gone

[coolframe]

Hi,

I am using the Fresco theme from rockettheme and I have installed a SEO mod on the forum, however since then forum ranks have gone, I can see them on admin panel when I create ranks, but can't see them in forum (that little missing picture)

any idea? I know I had to make a new htaccess file and I followed step by step the documentation, but ranks have gone since new htaccess has been created.

Are they located at /images/ranks/WingedShieldRanks/? Because if not, there is your problem.

Open forumfolder/styles/stylename/template/viewtopic_body.html file and tell me if you see the following code, or something similar:

         <!-- IF postrow.RANK_TITLE or postrow.RANK_IMG --><dd>{postrow.RANK_TITLE}<!-- IF postrow.RANK_TITLE and postrow.RANK_IMG --><br /><!-- ENDIF -->{postrow.RANK_IMG}</dd><!-- ENDIF -->

yes they are

Open forumfolder/styles/stylename/template/viewtopic_body.html file and tell me if you see the following code, or something similar:

 <!-- IF postrow.RANK_TITLE or postrow.RANK_IMG --><dd>{postrow.RANK_TITLE}<!-- IF postrow.RANK_TITLE and postrow.RANK_IMG --><br /><!-- ENDIF -->{postrow.RANK_IMG}</dd><!-- ENDIF -->

yes I can see it.


In fact before I create that new htaccess (which has been created by that seo plugin) I could see those ranks, ranks have gone since htaccess has been created.

I also have another problem, I can't have access to admin panel from a post. The admin panel link under post in forum is redirecting me to a 404 page

this plugin give me that tool

Here you can see what’s in the cache file containing the forum title to inject in their URLs.
Forum in green colors are cached, the one in red are not yet.

Please Note :
any-title-fxx/ will always be properly redirected with the Zero Duplicate but it won’t be the case if you edit any-title/ to something-else/.
In such case, any-title/ will for now be treated as a forum that does not exist if you do not set appropriate redirections.

so basically now, links in forums are http://cashnplay.com/games (for pc games as exemple) so when i click on adm cpanel link at the bottom of that page, it add that /game before /adm and so leads me to 404 page, well it's actually kinda weird as this direct link is correct but if I go to cashnplay.com, then click pc games then adm link it add /games before /adm

The forum ranks show fine for me in posts. The administrator rank is blue and I can clearly see it under the users avatar.

kinda weird, I am on another computer and still can't see it when I check image link I got http://cashnplay.com/announces/images/r ... trator.png

/announces/ just get there for whatever reason

Can you post your .htaccess here?

[J Greig]

Have you implemented the required code changes into your style files (all styles), especially overall_header.html?

 

[coolframe]

what code?

 

[J Greig]

Was it this mod you installed: http://downloads.phpbb-seo.com/phpbb-se ... rl-38.html ?

http://downloads.phpbb-seo.com/phpbb-se ... rl-38.html

In the download package, you would have a file called 'install.xml'. Open that in your browser, preferably FireFox or Chrome and it will show you the required file edits for the mod. It should take roughly between 15 to 20 minutes, depending on fast you do it.

I though changes would be made via mod installer?!

 

[J Greig]

I wouldn't trust that as it's been known not to make the full edits mods require. Open up the install.xml in your browser and check your files to see if the required edits have been made.

Regards.

done, I haven't changed anything but did a reinstall, there were some changes to be made but lines could not be found in this theme
