URLs / Links problem

Hello,
I have been updated my site to the latest 7.0.9 Dolphin version and I have the following errors:

For example: When you are at the home of the site (index.php) and click on the bottom links (for example contact.php) you are redirected correctly to SITE_URL/contact.php, BUT if you are in some other path like SITE_URL/m/groups and click oh the same bottom link “Contact us” (contact.php) you are redirected to SITE_URL/m/groups/contact.php receiving a “Page not found” error message.

It happens with some other links like login / logout buttons when you are not placed in the index page and with most of the links of the bottom bar (where is it placed the Copyright phrase).

Which would be the problem? Thanks in advance.

I forgot referring the website; you can check the problem at http://www.logeek.net/

I see a problem in your template. The base href in the head section of your template is not being set correctly.

Your looks like this in the page source. <base href="%3E">

It should be your sites URL.

check the template file _header.html in templates/base or if your custom template has it's own then it will be in templates/YourTemplateName

Show me lines 1 through 7. Either there is a problem with the base line or a problem near it.

Thank you for replying Deano,

let me let you know, that if you change the template to the standard UNI theme, the problem persist so that could be that it is not with the custom template. Also as you said, the custom template has its own _header.html, both files with the same line you noted: <base href="%3E"> ( you can check it here: http://www.logeek.net/?skin=uni ) I am attaching the _header.html from base folder for you.

I don’t think that the issue is caused by this file. Perhaps with some PHP placed into scripts folder, with a css file or with a rewrite exception written in the .htaccess. Is that possible?

Thanks once more.

I am watching, that after upgrading to the 7.0.3 version, the _header.html file placed into template/base has the line you mentioned as: <base href="<bx_url_root />" />

If you can see in the 7.0.3 package available for download at boonex.com, that file is rewritten and this line is: <base href="%3E" />

Should I rewrite like the original? Could be a update bug provided by Boonex?

I did it and now works. Is that change correct? If it is, we should warned Boonex to fix that file into the 7.0.3 update package they are offering.

Thanks!

Both files are corrupted, replace them with a fresh 7.0.9 download.

Where did you download 7.0.3 from?  BoonEx hasn't had it available here (boonex.com) since 7.0.4 was released.  Did you mean the SourceForge project page?

As I said, i downloaded it from Boonex from this link: http://get.boonex.com/Dolphin-Patch-v.7.0.3

Here are the updates offered by Boonex: http://www.boonex.com/trac/dolphin/wiki/Dol7Upgrade and the previus link to the .zip file is reffered into: http://www.boonex.com/trac/dolphin/wiki/7.0.2-7.0.3

We had installed the 7.0.1 version and we decided to updated to the 7.0.9, so we need to make 8 time upgrades and at the 7.0.3 we noted that.

Check that this .zip file, has the mentioned file with that line: <base href="%3E"

Am I correct? Thanks

Didn't know that file was changed in 7.0.3 (hey, it's been a long time!).  But I checked the patch and the line in question looks like this:

<base href="<bx_url_root />" />

So for some reason, your download is corrupted.  Again, replace the files with ones from a fresh 7.0.9 download.

Yes! I changed that line into my _header.html file of all my templates and works now.

Thanks to you for identifying the problem and hopefully that Boonex will fix this package.

I checked the patch and the file in question is fine.  So it was a problem with your download.

 That's so strange, I am downloading it more than once, and when I open with Microsoft Expression Web it shows me like: <base href="%3E">. Maybe it is a compatibility problem because when I use notepad it shows me correct. What a headache!

Nothing to fix Boonex :)

I tried to use Expression web years ago and it was corrupting php files constantly. I think it has something to do with the way it handles certain ascii characters if I remember correctly.

I would suggest using a plain text editor that was created for editing php. I use UltraEdit.

 Thanks!

I agree. Do not use Expression Web. Use a standard text editor. I have found Dreamweaver to be relatively safe and even expression web depending on what you use it for.

Expression Web does not know how to handle those tags <bx_url_root /> and it messes them up.

Anything that contains those tags or PHP code you should use a text editor. These other editors are designed for pure html pages.

 Thanks to you too, Deano. I will use DzSoft PHP Editor for both.
