vBSEO 3.5 RC2 Final & vB 3.8.4 PL 2 - broken Permalinks for Posts ?

Hi @ all,

I was just playing around with the permalinks for posts and encountering a strange situation:

using the setting "Replace post number link with Permalink" I get a correct url like "http://forum.dp200x.de/1946455-fehler-bei-internetcheckconnection.html#post12716541" containing the domain-name, thread-url and post-anchor.

BUT using the setting "Display Permalink in Postbit content" or "Display Permalink beside Showpost Link" the generated permalink is incomplete and missing the thread-url: "http://forum.dp200x.de/#post12716541".

For this test I was using the standard-style.

Can anyone reproduce this?


kind regards,
Gérome

Hello,

it works correctly for me, could you please open a ticket with vBSEO CP access for troubleshooting?

I could track this down a little further:
vBSEO generates different permalinks dependent on the different settings:

• Generated HTML-Code using the setting "Display Permalink beside Showpost Link"
  
  HTML Code:

  (<b><a href="#post5103719" title="Link to this Post">permalink</a></b>)

• Generated HTML-Code using the setting "Replace post number link with Permalink":
  
  HTML Code:

  #<a href="http://forum.dp200x.de/568966-test-42-a.html#post5103719"   id="postcount5103719" name="1" title="permalink"><strong>1</strong></a>

The first link is just a relative link, the second one is a "full featured" url.
Why the difference, it's the same post, the same topic - just a different vBSEO-Setting.

The error described in the first post occured as I had the HTML-tag "base href=" in my header, so all relative links resolved to that location instead of the intended location.

//edit: All this goes down to line #171 in file "/vbseo/includes/functions_vbseo_vb.php". There is an explicit statement to create a relative link when THIS_SCRIPT == showthread. hm. I am unsure ablout the reasons behind this statement, but I removed this check, leaving the rest of the line untouched and it seems to work.
