what, no changelog?

Awesome!

Thanks Evil.

I'll be installing that on this board after I upgrade it... which I keep delaying

Edit: @stephen it's so simple... you could just un-install the last one and install this one... or use FileMerge to see the differences

1. I don't have the old version
2. I didn't DL the new version

:p

Faster method:

Spoiler:

FIND:

Code: Select all

$redirect_url = submit_post($mode, $post_data['post_subject'], $post_data['username'], $post_data['topic_type'], $poll, $data, $update_message);


ADD AFTER:

Code: Select all

redirect(str_replace('&', '&', $redirect_url));


I tested ths method, it works well too.

NNO-Stephen: The only change is that the msg_die isn't commented out anymore, and the code is added before it instead.

Handyman: Thank you!

LEW21: Thanks for the suggestion, might add it to the next version (lol, i just love this smiley)

[eviL3 Igor]

Updated to 0.1.2
Added that change suggested by LEW21, that is actually a fix, because i had a before-add instead of an after-add in 0.1.1...

it doesnt show to do anything after the first find. might wanna look over the mod again maybe?

unless it's supposed to mean add after both in which case I have issue with the format of the instructions

That is allowed, it's for in case the next find exists multiple times in the file (wich it does), so what you do is just find the first (so the cursor is placed there), from there on find the second, and add after that one. Hope that helps

BTW: The next version (will wait until phpBB3 goes gold though) will not have the str_replace in it, because it's not needed. It gets str_replaced within the redirect() function

Greetings. I had installed the phpbb3 forum first on http://www.mysite.com/phpbb3 . Then I added an addon domain abc.com to point to the phpbb3 folder with url masking so that the forum url becomes http://abc.com . I also added this in the .htaccess file so all urls to the forum point to abc.com:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^abc\.com
RewriteRule (.*) http://abc.com/$1 [R=301,L]
ErrorDocument 404 /index.php

But now when I post a new message with this Instant Post Redirect 0.1.2 MOD, it redirects me to a http://phpbb3.mysite.com/ subdomain url and gives an error page. When I had added the addon domain abc.com in the cpanel to the /home/user/public_html/phpbb3 directory, it had made a subdomain phpbb3.mysite.com even though the phpbb3 directory already existed with the forum. I tried removing all the above .htaccess rules but still the same problem so I guess it has something to do with how the mod works with addon domains.

If I remove this mod, it work ok and gives the redirect page. But I really want to use this cool mod as it saves time while posting a lot of posts. Please tell me what changes to make in the code to make it work. I have tried to explain as clearly as I can but I can explain more if required. Thanks and awaiting some help.
