Beta Addon: Post Slug

[boffers]

I really love this addon. I am using it on my website: www.offersphoto.com. The thing I am currently also interested in, is integrating this in the thumbnails below the page. Please take a look at the frontpage of my website what thumbnails I mean.

Now I am having trouble with my stats program, to see the amount of visits of the photo: there is a difference between id=# and photoslug in the url because it is not everywhere integrated. This is the same as for the browse page (x=browse). I also tried the the solution jaywilliams offered to Giuseppe (http://forum.pixelpost.org/showpost....0&postcount=29) but I get the same problem. Is there a way the post slug can be used everywhere in the website; a full integration? Thanks!

Is there a way the post slug can be used everywhere in the website; a full integration?

Simple answer: Yes.

Long answer:
It's possible alright. If you look at my site you will never find a link that uses an id or x. As a matter of fact, you won't even find a .php link on my site.

But to get to this point requires some hacking of the core Pixelpost files as well as the various add-ons that you are using. For a PHP programmer, such as myself, it isn't that difficult to do. But if you've never used PHP it can be a daunting task.


I'll try to help any way I can, time permitting. So if you could, list the add-ons that are currently using the 'incorrect' ID links and I will download them and attempt to patch them myself.

Oh and btw, I've noticed from my site that search engines love the post-slug URLs. They come up MUCH higher in the search results. :-)

Sounds great Jay

For me it is important to have the postslug integrated in:
- www.offersphoto.com - the 9 thumbnails
- http://www.offersphoto.com/index.php?x=browse - all thumnails in the browse sections, with the categories still working (that is wat I reffered to in my posting above, when changing the code like you stated in this topics, the selection of categories won't work anymore)

Do you agree that this are no add-ons, but just the latest version of PixelPost? In this case, I think the integration would be pretty easy, won't it?

The only addon, I think, which also uses the ID in links is the JBGmap: http://www.offersphoto.com/index.php?x=jbgmap.

If I am using more addons then I know, please let me know so I can list all the files of my admin folder. Thank you so much!

hi!

can somebody help me with this problem please?
i installed the post slug addon, no error occurs.

Status is:

Post Slug Patch: OK
Post Slug Database: OK

i uploaded the .htaccess file and i tried tu put in for example
"http://www.andreas-huber.at/fotoblog/pseudofliege" which is the same as "http://www.andreas-huber.at/fotoblog/index.php?showimage=71";

The .htacess-File works as it should.

My problem is to get the prev- and next-links working.

I tried all 4 post-slug tags, but it doesn´t work. The last thing i tried is to put the following code into the template:

<a href='/fotoblog/<IMAGE_PREVIOUS_SLUG>'>Precedente</a>
<a href='/fotoblog/<IMAGE_NEXT_SLUG>'>Successiva</a>

But i always get the base-url of my photoblog (http://www.andreas-huber.at/fotoblog/).

Has anybody an idea what i did wrong?


Thanks and best regards,
andreas

Hi S,

I had turned my .htaccess off. I have decided not use the post slug until I can play with it more. I can't seem to get the current concept to work. The code I send you was from Jay. If you read this thread he answered some questions for me. Good luck.

I am using the slug tag with the google site map generated add on and it is working like a charm.

May anyone has an idea what is going wrong with the postslug plugin on my pixelpost installation?

the only links i get are:
http://www.andreas-huber.at/fotoblog...php?photoslug=

(you can see them on the bottom of the image_template).

what do i have to do that the postslug names are in the links? the postslug names are in the admin-area and i can reach them when i click on the post-slug link in the backend of pp.
