i can reply but i can't post and delete topic with sef_ext.php
without, it works

PM me a temp UID/PASS with super admin power.

Hi,

Here is 2 UPDATES for OpenSEF EXT. (one for ALL and one only for non-english users)

UPDATE 1: FOR ALL
It is basically a typing error.

Open the sef_ext.php


Find "_GEN_LOCKY" in the file. (you should get only ONE result)


Replace it to "_GEN_LOCK".

DONE

UPDATE 2: FOR non-English users
This problem is faced by many who are using non-english language with special char with it.
The problem happens due to the fact that, the special chars are transfered to either to nearest english char or specifying the char using unicode (not similar) with '&' sign.
But due to the internal 'reverse' function, the changed char are impossible to covert back to the original form. It is not possible for me to write conversion code for every language. Hope you understand.

To solve this problem, you have to change these definitions in your language file -
_GEN_LATEST_POSTS
_GEN_HELP
_GEN_RULES
_GEN_MARK_THIS_FORUM_READ
_GEN_REPLY
_GEN_QUOTE
_GEN_DELETE
_GEN_MOVE
_GEN_EDIT
_GEN_STICKY
_GEN_LOCK
_GEN_THREADED
_GEN_FLAT
_GEN_FORUMLIST

either to pure english, or your language but using only english-chars. Never ever any special chars nor using '&' char.

Hope it will help you.

Thanks. I found a new bug.

I cannot create a thread with the word "banners" in the title. If I do, the thread link will lead back to the homepage. "banner" works, but "banners" does not.

I will check that out
Please, do test this "banners" problem whether it is happening if SEF_EXT.PHP is disabled or not....

great work! thanks a lot!

I have same error like others users: I cant reply or create topic. Quick Reply works fine.

When click on Reply, the page loads with the new sef url, but no form at all.

any idea?

It does both ways. I've also tried choosing "No" on the Core Alias tab for banners and no change. I will do some more playing around too and see if I can find errors in PHP Admin under the jos_opensef_* tables.

give me the report later.
Now, I am working on the POLL System for FB

Sounds good

Cheers for the update.

I have found 1 slight issue. If you have 2 forums with the same name (in different categories obviously) then OpenSEF gives them both the same SEF URL. The end result is you go to the first forum in the list.

I'm not sure if this is a fault of OpenSEF or this script, but for me the workaround was very easy....don't have 2 forums with the same name.

Also, when trying to delete a post, the url offered when deleting is the same for any replies to an initial post (i.e. 'Reost Title..' so if you want to delete the third post in a thread, it ends up deleting the second instead. It might be worth including the post ID as part of the URL? I know I had to do something along those lines for the virtuemart sef_ext file to get it working correctly.
