Frontpage detection

[judebert]

Garvin,

Since it's a US holiday, I'm using a part of my spare time to update the newsbox plugin. Templating is just a bit too problematic for one day, so I'm just trying to use your frontpage detection.

It almost works for me. The only problem is that when I go to my default URL (http://judebert.com/), it gets redirected to http://judebert.com/wasted_youth/index.html. The genpage.inc.php sees the index.html as the URI arguments, and notices that it's not index.php, so it decides I'm not on the frontpage.

Everywhere else is fine.

I tried modifying my .htaccess, but that had no noticeable effect. (Maybe I'm just not doing it right.) I tried changing my index file in the s9y configuration, but that was a big mistake: suddenly it couldn't find my CSS, and made weird links that didn't really go anywhere. I also tried changing the URL to my blog in s9y config, but that just got me 404s.

Finally, I changed the frontpage detection to:

Code: Select all

if ((empty($uri_addData['uriargs']) || trim($uri_addData['uriargs']) == $serendipity['indexFile'] || trim($uri_addData['uriargs']) == 'index.html') && empty($serendipity['GET']['subpage'])) {
    $uri_addData['startpage'] = true;
}

That works for me, but I don't know if it's a problem for others. I figured I'd better not go committing something I wasn't certain about, so I'm deferring it to you.

Comments?

How does it come that it redirects to "index.html" in first place? It should be changed so that it redirects to "index.php"...

Do you have a "index.html" file in your directory? How is the redirection performed? What does your .htaccess file look like?

Viele Grüße,

The search engines all expect index.html, from the old site structure. I think my domain name redirects there; I could change that.

I'll modify the .htaccess to redirect 301 to index.php, so the search engines understand and I don't lose my standings.

Thanks!

Yes, I think such would do better than the other idea of modificating the PHP Code...
