What to do?

Hi Bergler, i feel your pain and have done for a short while.

I also had the same problem, so to fix the /links/ problem i used the below code in my .htaccess file. This file is in the /links/.htaccess you just need to edit my locations to your own i.e "/forums/picall.php", enjoy!

Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine On

#RewriteBase /links

RewriteRule ^([a-zA-Z_0-9\-]+)/robots\.txt$ robots.txt [QSA,L]

This will work regardless of what is going on in the Nav Manager (vB 4.2) and also vBa Links. I dont have vBa Links v4.2.6 so i dont know what the offerings are but if you have access you should try that first.

You should note the URL will still "look" wrong in a browser, however onclick is when the magic happens and you will be directed to the correct url.

Any problems, post back here.

Hi Elf,

Below is the menu items you need to add from with-in the Nav Manager:

<li><a href="addlink.php?c=0">Submit A Link</a></li>
<li><a href="whatsnew/links/">What's New</a>
<ul>
<li>New Links</li>
<li><a href="whatsnew/links/">Since Your Last Visit</a></li>
<li><a href="whatsnew/links/7/">Last 7 Days</a></li>
<li><a href="whatsnew/links/14/">Last 14 Days</a></li>
<li><a href="whatsnew/links/30/">Last 30 Days</a></li>
<li><a href="whatsnew/links/60/">Last 60 Days</a></li>
<li><a href="whatsnew/links/90/">Last 90 Days</a></li>

<li>New Posts</li>
<li><a href="whatsnew/posts/">Since Your Last Visit</a></li>
<li><a href="whatsnew/posts/7/">Last 7 Days</a></li>
<li><a href="whatsnew/posts/14/">Last 14 Days</a></li>
<li><a href="whatsnew/posts/30/">Last 30 Days</a></li>
<li><a href="whatsnew/posts/60/">Last 60 Days</a></li>
<li><a href="whatsnew/posts/90/">Last 90 Days</a></li>
</ul>
</li>

<li><a>What's Popular</a>
<ul>
<li><a href="whatspopular/views/">Top 25 Visited Links</a></li>
<li><a href="whatspopular/rating/">Top 25 Rated Links</a></li>
<li><a href="whatspopular/posts/">Top 25 Replied to Links</a></li>
</ul>
</li>

These are the links for v4.1.0 and what you would be looking to do is setup new menu items in the Nav Manager, and then using the URL's above for the "Target URL".

I hope this helps .

having exactly the same problem.
I disable the tab created by vBaLinks.
I recreate one.
When you visit the links directory, all others tab (except one created manually) stop working.
Example :
http://soudeurs.com/links/index.php
Please fix the bug.

Your nav links seem to be working now Oli ?, did you use my .htaccess to fix or ?

Hi,
Not working.
Go to the
http://soudeurs.com/links/index.php
If you have a look to the link to Articles :
http://soudeurs.com/links/content.php
The link is not correct, but i redirect if error to the cms.
Others links :
Activity :
http://soudeurs.com/links/activity.php
Forum :
http://soudeurs.com/links/forums.html
Etc...
I will try to fix with htaccess if and only if the support can't fix their mod.
I open a ticket support and still wait to have an answer.

hi there having the same problem , when i did a fresh install it did not creat a tab so i created one, i have made many tabs as my site is for the calendars, they work fine but as soon you enter the links then go out and select any other tabs they dont work except for the orignal from VB install forum/blog/cms and surprising the first Callender works but go to any other tabs i created for the other calenders the path gets inserted with a [link].

as http://www.mysite.com/calendar.php?calendarid=6

and as soon as i enter into the links then go back to the same calender i get this path

http://www.oceanbattles.com/links/ca...p?calendarid=6
and the same for the others except for the calendar 1 for some reason works, if i go back to forum then all the tabs work once again till i enter into the links again.

Posted support request since 08/01, still no support. Is this site completly dead ???

[flyyouin]

Ok I figured it out, I went into cp /VBA Links Directory/ Modify Settings/ vBadvanced Global Options. Now you see 3 windows go into navbar replacements and add the paths to you new tabs but also include the path for the links itself or else the problem will happen on it own link , here is my example as my forum sole purpose is calendars and any problems with another links just ad the path in the Navbar Replacements.
Oh one thing when creating a new tab for links use this” links/index.php “

activity.php
album.php
blog.php
calendar.php
content.php
faq.php
forum.php
forumdisplay.php
group.php
login.php
member.php
memberlist.php
online.php
private.php
profile.php
register.php
search.php
subscription.php
tags.php
usercp.php
calendar.php?calendarid=4
calendar.php?calendarid=3
calendar.php?calendarid=5
calendar.php?calendarid=6
calendar.php?calendarid=7
links/index.php

Hi, thank you for your feedback, jsut had a try, but doesn't work for me.

[flyyouin]

what version do you have ? i am using 4.2.6, i know the early version had problems also. there is only one misdirect i cant figure out that was the same with the other versions is when you delete a listing it take you to an invalid url.

scratches his head
