&goto=newpost links don't redirect properly

[moman]

All requests to showthread.php?t=x&goto=newpost show blank pages and don't properly redirect.

This is a .htaccess issue (that's what vbseo support told me earlier), but their fix seemed to break something else. Do you have any idea what could be wrong here?

# Comment the following line (add '#' at the beginning)

hello,
Can you copy this rule:

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !^(admincp|modcp|clientscript|cpstyles|images)/
RewriteRule $ vbenterprisetranslator_seo.php [L,QSA]

and paste it before:

#RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(admincp/|modcp/|cron|vbseo_sitemap)
#RewriteRule ^((archive/)?(.*\.php(/.*)?))$ vbseo.php [L,QSA]

If you disable vBET is the issue still there?

[moman]

Thanks for the prompt response.
-Yes, the issue went away when I removed vbet's htaccess rules
-Your fix didn't change anything

[kamilkurczak]

Hello,
so, please describe here - how I can reproduce it on your forum because I cant reproduce it and I cant see this issue.
Secondly - please paste here your server log file (file with informations about all issues on server) because we think that either function is not visible
(missing

require_once 

) because you have a blank page.

Thanks

Try that link as an example.

Note that there are no PHP errors or warnings on that page.

The only server issue I'm observing right now is a problem with sqlite, but the newpost issue precedes that, so this can be ignored.

What would be the best way to debug this? Maybe the vbenterprisetranslator_seo file doesn't properly forward the request to vbseo? Note that showthread.php isn't even called if you click the link above.

Hello,
moman I am on your site here:

http://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/

please write where I should click to have this issue (step by step) because I must to reproduce it properly.
Thanks

[moman]

The issue only really comes up for the end user when AJAX times out and quick replies are submitted as a regular form. It also occurs on the mobile skin that we sure for the newpost links.

All these are perfect examples of the error:
http://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/s...0&goto=newpost
http://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/s...0&goto=newpost

This works because the thread is nonexistent:
http://www.pentaxforums.com/forums/s...0&goto=newpost

[kamilkurczak]

hello,

Ok so if you don't have any notes in server log file - please give me (by PM) access details to your admincp and FTP.

secondly. please describe here what I should do to reproduce this issue (step by step - no links) please describe where i shoud click, how long I should wait etc.
Thanks

[moman]

I've fixed the problem.

In vbenterprisetranslator_seo.php, changed line 56 to:

if (isset($_GET['t']) && !isset($_GET['goto']) && false !== strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], 'showthread.php')) { 

[vBET]

It was already like that in our code in vBET4.x - we forgot to do it also in vBET 3.x - our fault. I corrected it now - it will be included in next release.
