The short url for user mod: http://you.com/username for cpg1.1x use in 1.3.2

[itang]

i follow this mod from this topic:

http://forum.coppermine-gallery.net/index.php?topic=69.20

the author said it is usable.

But when i use it for cpg 1.3.2, it give an error like this:

Code Select Expand

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_IF in /home/cpg/album.php on line 3

The original mod is like this:

HTACCESS hasn't changed much, but the most important thing is that now it points to index.php not album.php as it previously did.

Quote
RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule ^([a-z0-9&_=]+)$ index.php?username=$1


Second, ALBUM.PHP has change A LOT!:

Quote
<?php
require('include/init.inc.php')
if (isset($HTTP_GET_VARS['username'])) {
        $username = $HTTP_GET_VARS['username'];
        $results = mysql_query("SELECT user_id FROM cpg11d_users WHERE user_name = '$username'");
        list($row) = mysql_fetch_row($results);
        if (!$row) {
                $row = -10000;
        }
        $idnum=$row+10000;
        $catid = $idnum;
        $cat = $catid;
$HTTP_GET_VARS['cat'] = $cat;
}
?>


Lastly, I'm afraid I had to chang a tiny bit of INDEX.PHP:
I removed from the top:

Quote
require('include/init.inc.php');

and added

Quote
require('album.php');

Is it possible to make it work for cpg 1.3.2?

Thanks

when looking for help on a particular mod, you should reply to that mod's thread instead of starting your own mod. Mods are user contributions that come "as-is".
If you get a parse error this usually means you haven't applied the mod correctly, as it's the most basic "syntax error" message from PHP.

But it seems that you can't get it wrong to create the album.php file. I copied the content and pasted it in the notepad and savied it as an ANSI .php file. However, the pharse error still comes up.

Is it related to the $HTTP_GET_VARS function?

Just want to get help for this "old" mod for the new 1.3.2 version, sorry to post it here.

I think there may be someone who also want to have this mod applied to their 1.3.2.

There should be a semicolon at the end of require('include/init.inc.php')

Thanks admin for moving this topic into a right place.

Thanks Nibbler for helping the prase error.

However, there is a new error come out. The index page became blank and it showed:

Code Select Expand

Fatal error: Cannot redeclare cpggetuserdata() (previously declared in /home/ppi/cpg/include/init.inc.php:45) in /home/ppi/cpg/include/init.inc.php on line 45

There is no cpggetuserdata function in the album.php. Can anyone help? I am sorry that I have not much experience in php programming.

Just want to make the mod_write and the short url work, I think there are many people out there want this feature!

[dEnA]

anyone got this working yet?
Ps. sorry for replying. dont know if this was better than starting a new, because of this is so old 
EDIT: F*CK should have read a little bit more. I have 1.43 not 1.32

[Nibbler]

There is a mod posted on the mods board that will do this for 1.4
