Can no delete entries moderate.php location.

[zelnik]

I'm getting various url structure issues but I think once one is fixed they all will be...

When you try to delete an entry it comes up with the proper url structure for moderate.php ie www.mysite.com/forum/links/moderate.php and it brings up the do you wish to soft or perm delete.

I've selected perm delete and click on submit then we get a file not found on server problem and I've noticed it is now looking for the file in completely the wrong link/directory : www.mysite.com/moderate.php

I have tried it with spider friendly users enabled and disabled and with vbseo disabled and it still does it!

[zelnik]

I've tried copying moderate.php to the root directory and I just get a blank screen and still no deletion of entries.

url is correct in config.php too

This is yet another issue introduced by vBulletin with the release of v4.1.4. A new version of vBa Links is in the works and will be released as soon as it is ready.

[dihuta]

I also have this issue.

[zelnik]

Well this problem is STILL in your new 4.2.3 version :( :( :(

[Brian]

Did you run the "Upgrade" option from the admincp/vbalinks_install.php file after uploading the v4.2.3 files?? Have you customized any of your vBa Links templates?

[claystation]

I also have this issue still after upgrade to 4.2.3. I did run the admincp upgrader too.

And the only other issue I have is the RSS links are screwed up they are double links. I can send you a link if you would like.
Thanks for your time,
Andy

[zelnik]

yep ran the upgrader too after uploading all the files.

[Brian]

I'm not sure what might still be causing an issue, but if one of you would like to submit a support ticket via the Members' Area then I'll be glad to take a look at things for you.

[dihuta]

I know the reason why:

<meta id="e_vb_meta_bburl" name="vb_meta_bburl" content="http://www.mydomain.vn" /> <base href="/" />

This value is wrong, it should be http://www.mydomain.vn/links and /links
Anh your links are in "showlinks.php", "moderate.php",.. style. These are relative links, they will be wrong. They should be in absolute links.


Please fix it.
Thank you.

[dihuta]

Is there any quick fix, Brian?
I can not delete or edit any link now.

Thanks.

[claystation]

Hey I submitted a ticket a couple of days ago, just like you asked above. I am yet to hear from anybody. I don't mind waiting but please let me know when you might be able to help.
Thanks,
Andy

This is just silly, what happens if a spammers adds a pornsite to our links directory and we can not remove it???

Please fix ASAP.

You are still able to delete entries in the database.

[zelnik]

not if you're a novice ramses!

[Ramses]

Ok, most people have access to phpmyadmin go to there and choose your database where your link directory is in (set in config.php).
Look for the table adv_links, click on show and all links are listed.
There you can edit or delete links.
I'm sure Brian is working hard on the issues and will be back soon.

[Brian]

There's no need for phpMyAdmin. The only place this is a problem is on the "Edit Link" page. You can also use the inline moderation tools, or when viewing a link you can simply click the "Admin Options" menu near the top-right and select "Delete Link" from there.

Or to correct the issue on the "Edit Link" page, you will need to look in your links/addlink.php file for this code:
$templater = vB_Template::create('adv_links_deletebit');
$templater->register('link', $link);
$deleteoption = $templater->render();


And replace it with this:
$templater = vB_Template::create('adv_links_deletebit');
$templater->register('link', $link);
$templater->register('vba_options', $vba_options);
$deleteoption = $templater->render();

There's no need for phpMyAdmin.
Sure, if there's a fix available there is no need for it. But without a fix and if it is urgent to delete something it can be a way.
B.t.w. your fix doesn't work for deleting comments.

[dihuta]

Other files also need to be fixed (moderated, goto url,...).

With all due respect Brian this is just the tip of the iceberg with the amount of redirect problems that have come into the product the last month. It's got silly now.

Please sit down and take some time to overhaul the product as even now with your 'fix' it deletes an entry sure but gives you a blank screen after.

Also I've got categories that have worked for years but now when you click on them it takes you to /forum.php and as pointed out elsewhere those are just the tip of the iceberg. The product is a mess right now and needs a serious look into it.

Category name that re-directs to forumhome is called : http://www.mysite.com/forum/links/recommeded-links-15/

If you are having problems deleting links from the other methods I mentioned as well (inline moderation options and the "Admin Options" drop-down menu from the page when viewing a link's details) then that is another issue that needs to be looked into. I am not having any problems with that locally or in any other sites I have looked into, so if that is a problem on your site please submit a support ticket via the Members' Area here so I can look into those as well.

A lot with the product was just overhauled, since vB decided to completely change a few things and assume no other product might run in a folder outside of the vBulletin default folder. If you are still finding broken redirects please post what you were doing and they will be looked into.
