Switch to Alternative urls.
Visit some lists and Guild pages.

When switching from Alternative urls = On back to 'normal' mode = Off, the Alternative URL stays in place in the browser address bar.

But, with the Alternative mode URL still in place, something like

Code: Select all

http://www.papy-team.fr/roster/guild/memberslist/a=g:1.html

won't work well anymore.
And it isn't rewritten in classic layout neither.

Effect: the style sheet can't be found - a white background will be shown and no text formatting. Some images can't be found.

Going back to [site URL]/roster without any params will restore the view.

This is browser independent.

The effect with the URL staying in the access bar is known, and can't be easily avoided.
The problem with the links and stylesheets is because we only print the <base> tag in the header if SEO is on in roster. We had it on always printing for a while, but that was reverted. I'll try if I can find out while and get back to you.

File: templates/default/header.html.

Find:

Code: Select all

<!-- IF S_SEO_URL --><base href="{ROSTER_URL}" /><!-- ENDIF -->

Replace with:

Code: Select all

<base href="{ROSTER_URL}" />

Should fix the linking problem.

The <base> tag was removed for non-SEO in revision 1538, on 15 december 2007. The comment does not tell why this change was made. I'm not reverting it till I've contacted zanix about it.

Zanix, if you're reading this and I haven't spoken to you yet and you can't recall why this was reverted either, please apply the change in my previous post to SVN (or tell me to).

Found it, it was this topic about roster's baseurl not containing the custom port. That issue is indeed fixed, so I'm reinserting the <base> tag when SEO is off.

This works for me.

The issue seems to be resolved.
If Zanix could tell something about the side effects, or why this was done 15 dec 2007, then that would be great...

[edit] : ok, you already found it - "case closed"
