Hi Rudd,

I have attached an image to show the error

[Ruud]

How do I get it to work with a subdomain please?

It should work fine on subdomains.
What is not working in your case?

Thanks for this, I have added the new droplet code but still getting error and short urls not working 

[DarkViper]

Droplet says invalid php code  I'm using WB 2.8.3 latest version with this droplet code

First please disengage magic_quotes, because newer code does not care for.

Code Select Expand

<?php // for syntax highlighting only!

$sSearchPattern = '/' . preg_quote(WB_URL . PAGES_DIRECTORY, '/') . '(.*?)'
                . preg_quote(PAGE_EXTENSION, '/') . '/';
if(preg_match_all($sSearchPattern, $wb_page_data, $aMatches))
{
foreach($aMatches[1] as $sLink)
{
$wb_page_data = str_replace(WB_URL . PAGES_DIRECTORY . $sLink . PAGE_EXTENSION,
                            WB_URL . $sLink . '/',
                            $wb_page_data
                           );
}
}
return '';



Sorry for delay... 
But today I had to go out and enjoy the afternoon sun.

Magic quotes now off, but droplet still says php errors

[N1kko]

Is this error with server or caused by WB Revision 1960?

[N1kko]

Thanks badknight,

Yes magic quotes are on on my host, is there a way to fix the short url droplet? I'm no php expert at all 

[badknight]

there are many erros

(e.g "nwlinkend, preg_match_all,..) look at the php - Info  is there magic_quotes_gpc on? (http://php.net/manual/en/security.magicquotes.php)

How can I add a 404 error page as it just redirect back to main url

Have a look in short.php and find lhe line:

Code Select Expand

define('ERROR_PAGE' , '/'); //Change this to point to your existing 404 page.
Change the '/' with the (short) name of your 404 page.

Example:

Code Select Expand

define('ERROR_PAGE' , '/my404page'); //Change this to point to your existing 404 page.

[badknight]

in my own page i use the older version of the short-url-script and it works without problem
in a new local wb 2.8.4 project i test the shorturl 3.0 and i have only 404-Errors
the rewrite works in the links and in the adress line from the browser.
Whats the problem here?

in the short.php

you can try to debug the problem:
try to commend out the include /chdir and make a simple echo $fullpag;
now you can see the PATH - is there a Error or is it correct?

although the [[shorturl]] still shows on the template at the top.

Droplets need the Code register_frontend_modfiles('js') in the head of your Template-index.php
here a sample, which include frotend.css and frontend.js, but not jquery files

Code Select Expand

<?php
        // automatically include optional WB module files (frontend.css, frontend.js)
        register_frontend_modfiles('css');
        // register_frontend_modfiles('jquery');
        register_frontend_modfiles('js');
?>

I am using the latest bakery version.

The continue url in the form is showing as http://domain.com/pages/bakery.php and not http://domian.com/bakery

If I change {SETTING_CONTINUE_URL} in the form to http://domian.com/bakery it works although the [[shorturl]] still shows on the template at the top.

[dbs]

Should be solved in Bakery 1.6.
Your version is?

[daydreamer]

Having an issue with bakery. When you get to submit order and submit it takes me back to previous page and not through to fill out address. I can see [[shorturl]] at the top of the page which I then realised shorturl was causing the error.

I removed the short urls and it worked fine so not really sure what the problem is.

[daydreamer]

Great work Rudd think this should be hard coded into WB 

[Ruud]

Just put v3 on http://short.dev4me.nl/download/

Nothing is changed in howto use it for new websites.
If you already are using a previous version the droplet/htaccess/short.php all need to be replaced.

[N1kko]

Any update on V3?

[N1kko]

Great looking forward to V3
