[LN] Blog [Deleted]

To be the only one experiencing a problem always raises a red flag. But:

I just set permissions for this addon at our forum. I can post an entry without trouble, but it is absolutely inaccessible when published - it actually returns a 403 Forbidden error and tries to go to a directory that doesn't even exist (./entries/...)

Can you tell me what I have done wrong? I have made certain to set blogs to viewable by all members, and I have tested with two different accounts.

It should exist. o_O

If everything installed correctly, it should be operating fine. Are you sure the installation operated correctly, and that all the proper files were uploaded and in the right directory?
 
Well, I uploaded everything in the upload folder, which contained only two directories at the top level - /js/ and /library/. I just checked the server, and everything is there - /forum/js/lnblog/ is in place, complete with its single file, as is /forum/library/LNBlog/ and its fifteen child directories and single file.

From there, I simply installed the plugin in the ACP as normal. With only two directories and an XML file, I have no idea what could have gone wrong.

EDIT: I checked the directions and found one thing that I had omitted that may be vital - I did not rebuild the search index. Let me see what that does. If it fixes it, you can put me before a firing squad.

Edit 2: Nope, didn't work. It occurs to me now that I rebuilt the caches later that day anyway.
 
It works fine with Friendly URLs enabled.

Have you altered the .htaccess that comes with XenForo?
No. I installed the software Friday night, and no changes have been made server-side except for:

Changing the permission levels on /data/ and /internal_data/
Installing Tapatalk
Installing LN Blog

I also imported from phpBB, but I don't know if that changes anything vital.

Here is the current .htaccess content:

# Mod_security can interfere with uploading of content such as attachments. If you
# cannot attach files, remove the "#" from the lines below.
#<IfModule mod_security.c>
# SecFilterEngine Off
# SecFilterScanPOST Off
#</IfModule>

ErrorDocument 401 default
ErrorDocument 403 default
ErrorDocument 404 default
ErrorDocument 500 default

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On

# If you are having problems with the rewrite rules, remove the "#" from the
# line that begins "RewriteBase" below. You will also have to change the path
# of the rewrite to reflect the path to your XenForo installation.
#RewriteBase /xenforo

# This line may be needed to enable WebDAV editing with PHP as a CGI.
#RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization}]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -f [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -l [OR]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} -d
RewriteRule ^.*$ - [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^(data/|js/|styles/|install/|favicon\.ico|crossdomain\.xml|robots\.txt) - [NC,L]
RewriteRule ^.*$ index.php [NC,L]
</IfModule>

I'm unsure why you're getting the error at all. IS this on the browser or through TapaTalk? Browsing everywhere else on the XF installation doesn't result in an error, only when you try to view a particular blog entry? Do you have any other add-ons?
 
This is through Firefox. I haven't tried to access it through Tapatalk. No other add-ons have been installed, and the error occurs only when attempting to view an entry.

I'll play with some settings over the course of the week, and let you know if I find what might be causing this.

It is the first time I've had someone with this issue, so I have no idea of a possible cause. It leads me to believe it's something with your installation setup that is causing this error.

If you cannot find the cause, you can PC me with site details and I can look into it further.
 
Found it - it has nothing to do with Xenforo or the add-on, but rather the .htaccess in the root directory (the homepage). Thank you for pointing me in the right direction!

Now, I didn't write the .htaccess, and I don't want to poke around in it without knowing what I'm doing. I'll PC it to you for guidance.

Edit: Thank you!
 
Should allow "guest" posting comments work? Or can they be made to work the same way you can allow guests to post on forums.

If I edit the "Unregistered / Unconfirmed" permission and allow "Post comments" when you submit a comment it pops up an error saying "you must be logged in" -

If you do the same thing on a forum it allows you to post a message as a guest, it would be great if it worked the same way with the blog comments

thanks
