XF 1.2 Linked image to server

[tommydamic68]

how come when I paste this into a forum thread, it links back to my site, not image?

http://www.mysite.com/images/email/images/purple.jpg

It's a redirection of some sort that you must have set up in Apache.

 

[tommydamic68]

The only redirection was from @Jake Bunce in my .htaccess file. I believe it was this

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^[^/]+/.+-([0-9]+)/$ /community/index.php?threads/$1/ [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^forum\.php$ /community/ [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^.*$ /community/ [R=301,L]
# Use PHP 5.3
AddType application/x-httpd-php53 .php

 

[Mike]

Well the last rule listed there would redirect every URL it hits to /community/.

 

[tommydamic68]

That is what @Jake Bunce gabe to me to help get my site going after new install- unfortunately I am lost with the proper redirect code. Any advice @Mike ?

 

[Jeremy]

What directory was your old forum installed in?

 

[tommydamic68]

Www.mysite.com/forum or www.mysite.com/forum.php pending how you got to the site.

 

[tommydamic68]

It was vb by the way.

 

[Jake Bunce]

It appears vB was in the web root?

You could remove the catch all:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^[^/]+/.+-([0-9]+)/$ /community/index.php?threads/$1/ [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^forum\.php$ /community/ [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^.*$ /community/ [R=301,L]
# Use PHP 5.3
AddType application/x-httpd-php53 .php

Or you can add another line to exclude specific root directories:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^[^/]+/.+-([0-9]+)/$ /community/index.php?threads/$1/ [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^forum\.php$ /community/ [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^(images)/.*$ - [S=1]
RewriteRule ^.*$ /community/ [R=301,L]
# Use PHP 5.3
AddType application/x-httpd-php53 .php

If you want to exclude multiple root directories then use a pipe, like this:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^[^/]+/.+-([0-9]+)/$ /community/index.php?threads/$1/ [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^forum\.php$ /community/ [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^(images|dir2|dir3|dir4)/.*$ - [S=1]
RewriteRule ^.*$ /community/ [R=301,L]
# Use PHP 5.3
AddType application/x-httpd-php53 .php

You could remove the catch all:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^[^/]+/.+-([0-9]+)/$ /community/index.php?threads/$1/ [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^forum\.php$ /community/ [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^.*$ /community/ [R=301,L]
# Use PHP 5.3
AddType application/x-httpd-php53 .php

Or you can add another line to exclude specific root directories:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^[^/]+/.+-([0-9]+)/$ /community/index.php?threads/$1/ [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^forum\.php$ /community/ [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^(images)/.*$ - [S=1]
RewriteRule ^.*$ /community/ [R=301,L]
# Use PHP 5.3
AddType application/x-httpd-php53 .php

If you want to exclude multiple root directories then use a pipe, like this:

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^[^/]+/.+-([0-9]+)/$ /community/index.php?threads/$1/ [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^forum\.php$ /community/ [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^(images|dir2|dir3|dir4)/.*$ - [S=1]
RewriteRule ^.*$ /community/ [R=301,L]

yes i believe it was in the webroot.

Here is my whole .htaccess file. What would be best? And, can I remove some of this garble from years of who knows what?

Old vBSEO rewrites. They don't cause any harm.

I suggest the exclusion list like I posted.

 

[tommydamic68]

So i will add this code here -just add it above all else in the file? Or remove and replace the original redirect you had given me.

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^[^/]+/.+-([0-9]+)/$ /community/index.php?threads/$1/ [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^forum\.php$ /community/ [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^(images|dir2|dir3|dir4)/.*$ - [S=1]
RewriteRule ^.*$ /community/ [R=301,L]
# Use PHP 5.3
AddType application/x-httpd-php53 .php

 

[Jake Bunce]

Add the blue line in the location shown, inside of your existing .htaccess file in the web root. I put it in context so you know exactly where to add the new line.

 

[tommydamic68]

Ok done! Hope it works - i used the second one.

RewriteEngine On

RewriteRule ^[^/]+/.+-([0-9]+)/$ /community/index.php?threads/$1/ [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^forum\.php$ /community/ [R=301,L]
RewriteRule ^(images|dir2|dir3|dir4)/.*$ - [S=1]
RewriteRule ^.*$ /community/ [R=301,L]
# Use PHP 5.3
AddType application/x-httpd-php53 .php
