Group Forums 404

Hello.

I had to turn of permalink to get all the 404 errors off (which i didnt want to do) but hey it works. Now everyting seems to work but for group forums. When your in a group and you click on new topic you get the 404. any ideas?

Don't need to disable permlinks.

Follow this

Open the ".htaccess" in the root

Place the contents from the one in new pack without the line that starts with php_flag

yea that dont work for me lol

Could it be somehitng with the .ht file in the group folder?

here is my test site. here is a link to a group so you can try to see whats going on. thanks

Having the same or similiar problem but the permalink or .ht did not help the situation.  If I type in the link it shows in the Builders area I get the page ok.  Any other ideas.

I fixed my permalink problem by adding this to the .htaccess

RewriteBase /

RewriteRule ^([a-z]+)\.html$ /index.php?$1 [R,L]

However group forums still will not work. everytime i click og the forums in groups i get a 404

It is due to the ".htaccess" file in the root of dolphin.

well as far as i know i have tried everything here and still the forums in there groups will not work

I know that someone must have a solution to this....

I think I found the fix. Open up inc/classes/BxDolGroups.php.

Find this line (around line 447 v 6.14):

$sRetHtml .= $this->genGroupActionBtn( 'Post topic', "groups/orca/#forum/{$sForumUri}-0.htm#action=goto&new_topic={$sForumUri}" );

and replace it with this:

//$sRetHtml .= $this->genGroupActionBtn( 'Post topic', "groups/orca/#forum/{$sForumUri}-0.htm#action=goto&new_topic={$sForumUri}" );
$sRetHtml .= $this->genGroupActionBtn( 'Post topic', "groups/orca/#action=goto&new_topic={$sForumUri}" );

I have left in the original call and only commented it out to preserve the call.

Also check whether you have mod_rewrite enabled.

I noticed another 404 linking error in my group forums so I thought I would share.

At the bottom of the group page, in the forum box, I noticed that the link to an actual post was going to http://mysite.com/groups/orca/topic/Topic-Name.htm and resulted in a 404 error. I found a fix for this in the actual forum by adding the # in front of the word topic. This corrected the problem when inside the orca folder and viewing all the topics. But had trouble fixing this in the box at the bottom of the group page. To fix this go to the templates/base/xsl folder and open group_last_topic.xsl. Around line 36 change  <xsl:attribute name="href" groups/orca/topic/<xsl:value-of select="uri" />.htm</xsl:attribute> to  <xsl:attribute name="href">groups/orca/#topic/<xsl:value-of select="uri" />.htm</xsl:attribute> this appeared to fix my problem. Hope it helps someone else.

By the way why are there so many # related 404 errors with orca? If i were to guess, it looks like it didnt belong there in earlier versions and then it was added somehow somewhere but was not corrected in all of the scripts. I don't know for sure because i havent had any experience with orca prior to the release with dolphin 6.14

worked like a charm... yeah... lots of # related problems. Also some of my client ask why the difference between the group forum and regular forum. Can someone shed some light on it?
