Bug Images in group´s album

[Robert9]

A typical link for an image looks like

/forum/picture.php?pictureid=70&groupid=2&dl=1303921935&thumb=1

DSEO translates it to

/forum/groups/groupname/pictures/698t-titel07-05-2008-a.png/

Without watching the source-code i see that .png is wrong,
because we have only jpgs in our albums (i have checked with an sql in table attachment)

I use the standard-values for groups, i have changed nothing there till now.

So the error must be around this here:
groups/[group_name]/pictures/[picture_id]-[picture_title].[original_ext]

while [original_ext] should be a jpg in my case.

Please check your code for this.

To decrease the place to look for: Pictures in the board itself are shown right.
The pics are in db not in filesystem.

I have to play soccer now, then i will continue with my search.

DBSEO will use the extension provided by vBulletin, or by the actual file system itself if vB extension is not available. It does not modify the file in any way that would cause this.

I am sorry for my english. I have not said that files are changed. I am talking about that:

I have:

/forum/picture.php?pictureid=70&groupid=2&dl=1303921935&t humb=1

DSEO translates it to

/forum/groups/groupname/pictures/698t-titel07-05-2008-a.png/

Because the file-ext of all images is jpg or gif, that link is probably wrong.

If i choose the translation as

[group_name]/[picture_title]-[picture_id]

everything is ok.

But if i choose

groups/[group_name]/pictures/[picture_id]-[picture_title].[original_ext]
groups/[group_name]-picture[picture_id]-[picture_title].[original_ext]
groups/[group_id]-picture[picture_id].[original_ext]
groups/[group_id]-[group_name]-picture[picture_id]-[picture_title].[original_ext]

the pictures are not shown.


I would really like the idea that you hear to me, when i send you an error. The last one about sitemap-building you gave me short answers.
Finally you said thank you for my time to find a big error in your script.

Maybe this time you should have a look for yourself, it is your product, while i could survive with the custom [group_name]/[picture_title]-[picture_id]

but others maybe want to have a script without errors.

Thank you for your patience.

It seems I wasn't clear: I'm saying that the PNG extension is what vBulletin tells DBSEO to use for that particular file. If you look in the picture table, you will see that the extension column will have PNG for those images.

I have checked this. And it is not the problem. I really have four from a lot that are .png, but the jpg are not shown also.
I tried now all ways for Social Group Picture File URL:

Not ok!

1. groups/[group_name]/pictures/[picture_id]-[picture_title].[original_ext] => NO PICTURES

Example from source:
src="/forum/picture.php?pictureid=6xx&groupid=3&dl=13027302xx&thumb=1
Rewritten from SEO in Browser:
forum/groups/groupname/pictures/6xxt-15.jpg/

=> Shows the page for one picture, but without a picture shown!

Now with 2.
2. groups/[group_name]-picture[picture_id]-[picture_title].[original_ext]

Example from source:
src="/forum/picture.php?pictureid=6xx&groupid=3&dl=13027302xx5&thumb=1 ( the same like above)
but rewritten as
/forum/groups/groupname-picture6xxt-15.jpg

=> Shows no page, but the picture itself like it should be

This means that there is not an error with the extension like i thought, but an error with the first setting:

groups/[group_name]/pictures/[picture_id]-[picture_title].[original_ext]

It tries to show a page and not a picture!

All ok!
2. groups/[group_name]-picture[picture_id]-[picture_title].[original_ext]
3. groups/[group_id]-picture[picture_id].[original_ext]
4. groups/[group_id]-[group_name]-picture[picture_id]-[picture_title].[original_ext]
Custom:
5. [group_name]/[picture_title]-[picture_id]

That sounds to me like there's a conflict between your chosen format (groups/[group_name]/pictures/[picture_id]-[picture_title].[original_ext]) and another page.

Essentially, the formats you create break down into some formulas that DBSEO will attempt to use to determine what URL is the correct one. If two pages break down into the same formula, DBSEO has no way of knowing which is which.

I would recommend using one of the other, working formats to avoid this conflict.
