when i click “click to continue reading” it no longer goes to the article.  not only that, since a lot of the articles go to other weblogs, the articles don’t load there either.  not only that, the other weblogs don’t load at all!

examples:

http://prolifeunity.com (core site) - none of the click to continue reading links work anymore

http://prolifeunity.com/index.php/monthlycallforlife - sub-weblog - not working, & neither are all the others.

Hi, Peter. You inadvertently posted this in our Pre-Sales area, so I moved it to the right place.

What is happening is that you need to Force Query Strings.

See this bit in the EE1.x docs: http://expressionengine.com/legacy_docs/general/urls.html

Look towards the end of the doc.

Does that help?

I have that checked & no-go.  Also, I have sub-weblogs which I should be able to get to without clicking a “continue” link, but I can no longer get to those either.  (example above, but I will add another)

http://prolifeunity.com/index.php/prayerpivot

btw, I did change the variable to 2 as well & that didn’t work either.

ok, i figured out if i manually add the question mark at the end of index.php, the right weblogs & articles will load.  i would think that making the change in the control panel would do the trick, but it does not.

so what is the fix?

The disadvantage of being able to host many weblogs under another weblog is that all of the sites will go down when there is a problem.  If site A has 10 weblogs under it & site A develops a problem, all other sites go down. 

In this case, I don’t think the EE application caused the problem, because before today, everything was working fine.  I have been communicating with the server company and with you good folks.  I pray there is a solution to this problem soon.  All 10 of the sites have been down the entire day & there are a lot of people who aren’t happy.

turnstile, it depends on how you are making your links. If you’re doing something like {path="templatename/template"} then EE will structure it with the right index.php? setting. You didn’t mention which version of EE1.x you’re using…

Well, I didn’t know there was a 2.x version out, so thinking the problem was a 1.6 problem, I paid for the upgrade to 1.7.  I wrote sales and asked if they would just apply the credit to the 2.x so I can upgrade to that instead.  I’m sure that’s not the problem though.

It’s not just the click to continue that isn’t working, all sub-weblogs aren’t working either, so there are 10 websites that are completely down at the moment.  If you manually add the ? at the end of index.php they work, but that’s not what people type when they type the domain names in the browser.  Yes, I could change all the domain redirects and add the ?, but that wouldn’t solve the click to continue problem which would exist in those domains either.

Hi, turnstile. If your hosting is causing you to need to force query strings (adding in the index.php? instead of index.php) then you might want to consider moving to a host that doesn’t have those restrictions.

How are you building out your click to continue links?

I hear ya Sue, it is tempting to switch, but I have dozens of domains on that server, & switching would not be an easy thing to do.

here is how it is used:

Click here to continue reading

but, that’s not the only problem.  none of the sub-weblogs won’t work without the ? either.  I have started going to the registrars to point them to the ? location.

Hi turnstile,

That bit of code you posted did render correctly I’m afraid. Can you please paste the your template code to show the read more links? Are you using an .htaccess file for your site?

Cheers

Greg

i did paste it, that’s why it rendered 😊

if you view source you can see the code.  i’ll try it this way:

http://{comment_url_title_auto_path

oh, & yes we are using an .htaccess file.  this is the only thing in it right now - php_value memory_limit 32M

turnstile,

<a href="http://{comment_url_title_auto_path}">Click here to continue reading</a>

Then in your weblog preferences under Path Settings you should have something like this for your Comment Page URL is you were removing the index.php

http://www.mydomain.com/?/template_group/template

and if you were still using the index.php

http://www.mydomain.com/index.php?/template_group/template
