vBulletin 4.x Odd CMS to Forum post redirect problem

[zelnik]

Hi,

I'm using vb4.03 and vbseo 3.5 rc2 on my test site sorting everything out so i know what im doing when i switch my live site.

On the CMS page in the latest forum posts widgets when I click on a post it directs me to the post and displays it for a second or two then loads replaces the post with a error saying "No Thread specified. If you followed a valid link, please notify the administrator"

During that second or two of it displaying the the forum post it has a vbseo url but once it reloads and the above error appears I get a showthread non vbseo url.

I'm sure it's something I'm doing wrong but it's doing my head in please help!

Please try upgrading to rc3 as a first troubleshooting step as there were some cms bug fixes in rc3.

Ok Upgraded and still doing the same :(

I've disabled the CMS rewrite and that didn't fix it so it's nothing to do with that?

Since the latest posts widget just holds links to the forum I suppose it has something to do with rewrites on the forum?!

If you disable VBSEO completely it works fine so def something up with vBSEO/config wise :(

Can you open up a ticket with ling details and links with how to reproduce it on your site?

[thunderclap]

Having the same problem. vB 4.0.3 and vBSEO 3.5 RC3.

[Brian Cummiskey]

Please also open a ticket so we can investigate.

Sorry for delay in opening Ticket I didn't want to waste your time if it was an option that I had somehow missed but seeing as someone else also has the problem I have now issued a support ticket.

Thanks!

This looks like a Bug on vBulletin. I investigated this further on an open ticket and this is the response i posted on the ticket


Actually after looking further , this is a bug in vBulletin system

The url you have on your widget is domain.com/showthread.php?t=10707#post1270857227

Which has the following postid #post1270857227

When you check actual thread domain.com/sci-fi-fantasy-news/10707-castiel-fights-3-awesome-new-supernatural-videos.html ( domain.com/showthread.php?t=10707 ) you can see that the post id on that thread is

<!-- BEGIN TEMPLATE: postbit --> 
<li class="postbit postbitim postcontainer" id="post_11919">

As the post id in the CMS Widget url is wrong , vBSEO can't find the correct post id and tries to redirect to missing post.

P.S : I removed actual forum url

Hi Mert and thanks for the response.

I have no idea if there is a working relationship between you guys and the vBulletin team so how do we go about trying to get them to fix it? have you guys issues a bug report to vbulletin!?

Thanks

Yes, looks like an anchor part is incorrect, you should modify vbcms_searchresult_post template in vB admincp:
find:

#post{vb:raw post.lastpost}

replace with:

#post{vb:raw post.postid}

[Oleg Ignatiuk]
