Path issue with RP after deleting categories(FIXED)

[Jeremy]

After deleting a category, when it tries to reload the admin page I get:

Not Found
The requested URL /reviews/http://www.domainshh.com/reviews/adm-misc.php was not found on this server.

[WB]

I think I found the cause of this as we were experiencing something similar.

We got the same results after deleting a category and something similar with emptying a category.

In adm-misc.php at line 3037:

Content visible to verified customers only.

should likely be:

Content visible to verified customers only.

The maindir is not needed as that is what is causing the /reviews/ before the full URL and that was what was giving us the 404. After the above update, after deleting a category, we get returned to the category page as in prior versions.

Similarly in the same file at line 3397:

Content visible to verified customers only.

doesn't likely need the Globals as well and I think that admcat=cats may need to be admact=admcats since we were getting two errors on our end. So we ended up with:

Content visible to verified customers only.

and that seemed to do the trick.

Chuck can you confirm for us what's above?

Thanks.

In pp-inc.php function forward

remove this code

//if ( $Globals['vbversion'] == "postnuke" )
// $redirect = "{$Globals['vbulletin']}/modules.php?$redirect";
//else
$redirect = "{$Globals['maindir']}/$redirect";

[WB]

Thanks.

I reverted back and applied that edit and that seems to have cleared up the delete issue but not the empty issue.

Perhaps admcat=cats to admact=admcats on 3397 would fix that?

[Chuck S]

what empty issue I only see an issue with forwardid which I posted a correction on?

[WB]

From my message #2 above.

We were seeing two issues in the second part referenced. The path and the redirect.

When I update with the pp-inc fix when I empty a category now I don't get the 404 not found now but instead get a blank page.

Assuming that the redirect should return to the cats page, perhaps the 3397 line update may work (admcat=cats to admact=admcats), similar to the path on delete.

[Chuck S]

that would work at line 3397

[WB]

Thanks, for confirming.

Appears to work fine on this end now with the pp-inc and the 3397 edit.

Chuck,

Could you please email me whatever files were changed, thanks.

[Chuck S]

I sent the whole zip

[Jeremy]

Looks like these files were changed:

adm-misc.php
pp-inc.php
upgrade.php
bulkupload.php
uploadproduct.php

[Chuck S]

well the upload stuff is a cosmetic fix I did as far as showing the parent cat next to the child in the dropdown yes
