Question Slider CMS articles redirects fail!

[ozi]

hi!

I'm having an issue for which I'm sure it's not a bug. Probably something on my end. I'm running slider, manually inserted into the home template, running just fine. It also fetches CMS articles fine but the redirection links are show WRONG.

Examples
Redirection (show more) link to:
http://mydomain/forum/forum.php/306-Some-Article

Instead, it should redirect to:
http://mydomain/forum/content.php/306-Some-Article

What's wrong?

What version of vBulletin are you running and are you running vBSEO?

 

[ozi]

VB version is 4.2.0 PL3 without vBSEO.
Thanks

Can you enable the slider on the CMS and see if it still does the same thing there? I thought Fillip H. had fixed this issue a few weeks ago for another member, and the hotfix should be in the current download.

Hi!
Although I don't use any widgets on my CMS sites I did test the CMS slider version by inserting variables. CMS version works (redirects) okay!

I downloaded the version update but the issue remains for CMS articles on the FORUM version.

Could you please create and PM me with a temporary FTP and AdminCP account?

For security reasons, we recommend you create a new FTP account only for DBTech support, then disable or delete it after we have both confirmed the issue has been solved and there are no further issues.

The same applies to AdminCP accounts; they should ideally be temporary accounts created for us only. If we have created an account on your site already, you can optionally boost that account to Administrator and then de-admin this account once the issue has been solved.

If you use a .htaccess password protection for your AdminCP directory, it is recommended that you create a new authorised user for DBTech and remove this user once the issue has been solved.

Please test any temporary accounts you create to ensure that the FTP account has access to the forum files, and that the AdminCP account can access the administrative controls for the product we are assisting you with.

Ensuring this is all in order before submitting the information will significantly speed up the process of assisting you. We will alert you via PM if there's any issues with the login information you have provided.

When sending the PM, for your security you should also un-tick the "Save a copy in my Sent Items folder" checkbox. When the access details have been received, we will delete the PM from our inbox. Ensuring you have not kept a copy of the PM reduces the risk of security breaches.

Thank you for helping us debug our products and allowing us to assist you, we appreciate it

I've changed this on your site - unsure why it's happening, but I reckon I might as well just set the CMS URL for all vB versions to avoid this hassle entirely
