Photoplog issue

[moman]

I followed the integration guide (added to the htaccess file) for my photoplog installation, but I can't get translations to work.

The gallery is in /gallery, while the forum is in /forums, so it's outside the forum directory. Anything else I need to do to get it to work?

[moman]

Photoplog htaccess:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.pentaxforums\.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.pentaxforums.com/gallery/$1 [L,R=301]

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !vbseourl=
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /forums/vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1&vbseorelpath=../gallery/&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !vbet_outside=true
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1?vbet_outside=true [L,QSA]

Root htaccess:

You didn't fallow instructions exactly. Instructions says that before rule cannot be any other rules ending with [L] and in such case [L] have to be removed. You have it in rule for vbseo, so vBET rule never takes place (L means last).

Please try this:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.pentaxforums\.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.pentaxforums.com/gallery/$1 [L,R=301]

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !vbet_outside=true
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1?vbet_outside=true [QSA]

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !vbseourl=
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /forums/vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1&vbseorelpath=../gallery/&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]

This isn't exactly how it should be according to instructions. And it was not tested (only you can test it) - so please make copy before changes. If it will not work please try this:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.pentaxforums\.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.pentaxforums.com/gallery/$1 [L,R=301]

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !vbseourl=
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /forums/vbseo.php?vbseourl=$1&vbseorelpath=../gallery/&%{QUERY_STRING}

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} !vbet_outside=true
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1?vbet_outside=true [L,QSA]

This one is according to instructions, but because of vbseo before I think that you should go first with first proposition.

gallery/pl/ is still 404ing, while /gallery/?language=pl isn't redirecting properly

[moman]

Any ideas? I'd really like to get this to work. With all the other vBET bugs resolved, getting this to work would just be perfect!

To recap:

The forums are in ./forums
The photoplog installation is at ./gallery

My .htaccess files are posted in the first posts; your suggestions didn't work

[vBET]

I'm just checking it - will answer you soon

[vBET]

gallery/pl/ is still 404ing, while /gallery/?language=pl isn't redirecting properly

How did you got gallery/pl/ address? Is it generated by vBET? It should be /pl/gallery
Please give me exact URL which is under one of vBET flags.

[moman]

Oops- I meant /pl/gallery/.

I guess that this might be caused by some of the homepage rewrite rules. Take a close look at the root htaccess, and see if it maybe conflicts with what we want.

Here's the url that should work: pl/gallery/ - Pentax News & Rumors - PentaxForums.com

Perhups you have right. Please check this one for your main .htaccess
