Forum Error

When a user is replying to a forum post, replies are showed in a different link on the home page . please see the attachment.

Ps: When we click on a forum to read it's opening another page it's not displayed on the same page.

I think that is because on homepage the block shows recent forum posts?

I didn't do anything in forum then why it's acting weird.

By default it displays all posts, to display unique topics go to:

Admin Panel -> Builders -> Pages Builder -> select Homepage -> click on "Forum Posts" block -> change "Url of RSS feed" field from:

{SiteUrl}forum/?action=rss_all

to:

{SiteUrl}forum/?action=rss_updated_topics 

When I go to:

Admin Panel -> Builders -> Pages Builder -> select Homepage -> click on "Forum Posts" block -> and enter into the "Url of RSS feed" field the following :

"{SiteUrl}forum/?action=rss_all"

The module works to show the items on the front page. However, when I click on them in Firefox a new page is opened in another tab that has the message:

"Page Not Found. You may now resume your visit."

I noted that the URL of this new page is:

SiteURL/forum/topic/Good-Advice-.htm

However, the correct link for that page would be:

SiteURL/forum/#topic/Good-Advice-.htm

The difference is the missing # sign.

When I enter:

{SiteUrl}forum/?action=rss_updated_topics

as the the URL of RSS Feed and with 4 items to be displayed and save it. When I reload the front page, I only get a spinning icon that never goes away, although the page does stop loading.

Any help would be appreciated.

It should work without # sign, if it doesn't work for you, then something wrong with mod_rewrite - most probably .htaccess file in forums dir is missing.

 It should work fine, I've test it and it works, try to check if you entered this url correctly and without any spaces

Well, it does not work. I set up an RSS feed at the bottom of my front page, so that you can see what I am talking about. If you go to http://universaldomainexchange.com/group/, and scroll below the welcome message you can see the RSS feed that has "http://universaldomainexchange.com/group/forum/?action=rss_all" set into the RSS URL. I have it limited to 4 items. You can click on any of the links there to see what I am experiencing.

I have attached a snapshot of the RSS Feed window.

I do have an .htaccess file in the forums dir.

That .htaccess file looks like your root htaccess file. Not the one that belongs in the forums folder. And by forums folder we mean modules/boonex/forum

The htaccess file that is there should be different.

the content of your htaccess file you posted should be in the root

bellow is the content of my htaccess from the forum dir.

AddType application/xml .xsl

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^group/(.+).htm$   index.php?action=goto&cat_id=$1   [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^forum/(.+)-([0-9]+).htm$   index.php?action=goto&forum_id=$1&start=$2    [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^forum/(.+).htm$   index.php?action=goto&forum_id=$1&start=0    [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^topic/(.+).htm$   index.php?action=goto&topic_id=$1    [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^user/(.+).htm$   index.php?action=goto&user=$1         [QSA,L]

RewriteRule ^rss/forum/(.+).htm$    index.php?action=rss_forum&forum=$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^rss/topic/(.+).htm$    index.php?action=rss_topic&topic=$1 [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^rss/user/(.+).htm$     index.php?action=rss_user&user=$1  [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^rss/all.htm$           index.php?action=rss_all&sort=      [QSA,L]

I am also wondering if the fact that you happen to have setup your dolphin site in a subfolder named group may be causing some problems. I have not tested this, but it seems to me it might cause a conflict with one of the rewrite rules.

You may need to move your dolphin site into a different subfolder. The name group may be conflicting with the rewrite rules for dolphins group module.

Prolaznik, that worked great. I replaced the content that you provided with the content that was in the .htaccess file. Cleared the cache and it works just fine. Thank you very much for this.

I appreciate you!

 Deano, I had thought that too, at first, so I did an install of Dolphin in a directory named "screenprint" it didn't make any difference.
