article display problem

[sewerside]

hi, i have just bought the phpwordpress script and i've managed to install and should be fine as i expected. i created categories and articles. when i view the website, and click on the article or read full story, it show error page. it seems that the script did not created the /category/ or the /news/ folder and doesn't have those numbered .html files.

i have installed according to the documentations, set the correct chmod/permission

please help ASAP

This is most probably mod_rewrite problem. The script is not actually creating those folders.

Check if you properly copied .htaccess file to root of your script directory.

There is also the possibility that your server does not support mod_rewrite, and you can check that easily with phpinfo(); In that case, re-install the script unchecking "Friendly url support" check box.

thanks, i found out it was because of that problem too.. the .htaccess problem. it is now fixed.. ok now, how can i make the article link to show the article title instead of the id number appended to the '.html'

how can i make the article link to show the article title instead of the id number appended to the '.html'
Easy, just go to Administration -> Article Management -> (select a category) -> Fill in the text box labeled "SE friendly name (No white spaces*)".

And you'll have custom name instead of <id>.html

cheers

ok, other problems that i have are:

- in the function NewMailList, it has include_once("resource.php");, but that file is nowhere to be found. During signing up, it says can't locate that resource.php file. but new user can be added fine. what i did to solve was to comment that line out.

- link management problem, in admin login, it shows Los upit - SELECT c.category_name,c.id, COUNT(a.id) AS ArticleNumber FROM tblLinksCategory c LEFT JOIN tblLinks a ON c.id=a.category_id GROUP BY c.category_name ORDER BY c.order_num, c.id, i checked in the installer file, it doesn't create tblLinksCategory table.

It is no bug - link management is plug-in and is supposed to be installed separately. Therefore, tblLinksCategory is not being created in normal installer.

Check if you ran the installer located in links folder: [root]/links/link_installer.php

After running that, you won't receive any error messages.
