Alphabar Plugin - static mode?

Quote

The only real requirement, is that you setup the options correctly, and have SSH/Telnet capabilities (to make the .html static version of your archive page)[/quote]Is there something I have to do with SSH?

I've got it running in static mode, and the A points to
http://www.xxx.com/reference/abc/letter_A/cat_1/
but it gets a 404

I created directory abc and set it to 777.

ModRewrite_Enabled
ModRewrite_URL http://www.xxx.com/reference/abc

PS: it was working in dynamic mode before I changed the mod rewrite settings, but the error page now shows "Category 'abc/letter A/cat 1' does not exist."

Thanks

Thanks,

Hi,

Mmm.. I thought I had this covered in the Readme (just checked though, and it isn't =))

you need to add a couple new Rewrite rules,

Code:
RewriteEngine On 

RewriteRule ^letter_(.*)/cat_([0-9]+)/$ /cgi-bin/alpha.cgi?letter=$1&catid=$2 [L] 
RewriteRule ^letter_(.*)/cat_([0-9]+)/p_([0-9]+)/$ /cgi-bin/alpha.cgi?letter=$1&catid=$2&nh=$3 [L]

Hope that helps Smile

Cheers

Thanks Andy. I put these in an .htaccess file, first in the Links directory and then in the root directory, but both times the letter A returned a 404. Am I right to use the .htaccess file?

Thanks,

Hi,

It depends on your server =)

Shoot over FTP access if you want, and I'll take a quick look for you.
