Incompability with Joomla SEO? (X)HTML Standard? 5 Months, 4 Weeks ago
|
|
Hi there TemplatePlazza,
I recently installed your extension for Joomla 1.5 (Mini Frontpage). All in all it's a very good piece of work but in my eyes there are two major problems - at least in "my" setting.
First problem:
I use Mini Frontpage as alternative to the Joomla index page (news overview). I also use the Joomla 1.5 build-in SEO. All links outside of the "Mini Frontpage" box are displayed correctly and link to the correct source. All links to content in the "Mini Frontpage" box link to a modified URI and therefore cause a 404 error. Here an example:
The (incorrect) link should look something like http://cms.match87.de/nachrichten/ 60-technik/ 124-forum-macht-schwierigkeiten
Explanation:
Here is a section of my .htaccess:
| Code: |
## Can be commented out if causes errors, see notes above.
# Options +FollowSymLinks
#
# mod_rewrite in use
RewriteEngine On
# Uncomment following line if your webserver's URL
# is not directly related to physical file paths.
# Update Your Joomla! Directory (just / for root)
# RewriteBase /
########## Begin - Joomla! core SEF Section
#
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/index.php
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} (/|\.php|\.html|\.htm|\.feed|\.pdf|\.raw|/[^.]*)$ [NC]
RewriteRule (.*) index.php
RewriteRule .* - [E=HTTP_AUTHORIZATION:%{HTTP:Authorization},L]
#
########## End - Joomla! core SEF Section
########## Begin - Rewrite rules to block out some common exploits
## If you experience problems on your site block out the operations listed below
## This attempts to block the most common type of exploit `attempts` to Joomla!
#
# Block out any script trying to set a mosConfig value through the URL
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} mosConfig_[a-zA-Z_]{1,21}(=|\%3D) [OR]
# Block out any script trying to base64_encode crap to send via URL
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} base64_encode.*\(.*\) [OR]
# Block out any script that includes a <script> tag in URL
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} (\<|%3C).*script.*(\>|%3E) [NC,OR]
# Block out any script trying to set a PHP GLOBALS variable via URL
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} GLOBALS(=|\[|\%[0-9A-Z]{0,2}) [OR]
# Block out any script trying to modify a _REQUEST variable via URL
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} _REQUEST(=|\[|\%[0-9A-Z]{0,2})
# Send all blocked request to homepage with 403 Forbidden error!
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ index.php [F,L]
#
########## End - Rewrite rules to block out some common exploits

Second problem
My second problem is that "Mini Frontpage" doesn't create a valid (X)HTML source code. It creates a <link>-tag (to the CSS) inside the website's <body>-tag. Is there anything planned? A new release where this issue is fixed?
Is there any way to fix those two problems?
Thanks for all answers!

I fixed the SEO issue by using SmartSEF as SEO solution.
But the xhtml error is still there. How to fix it?

You may move part of your code to the header! 
This may take some work anyways! |

To complete my work with "fixing" those little issues, here the solution for both:
[u][b]SEO problem:[/b[/u]] use SmartSEF. It's freeware, it generates good SEF URIs and solves the problem with SEI links not leading to the right source.
To solve the XHTML issue:
Use follow default.php in the module's tmpl folder:
| Code: |
<?php
// no direct access
defined('_JEXEC') or die('Restricted access');
$database =& JFactory::getDBO();
$pwidth = intval(100/$columns);
$col = 0;
if ($thumb_enable == 1 )
{
$ini_intro = 1;
?><table width="100%" class="minifp"><?php
foreach ( $rows as $row )
{
// ----------- add category title ------------
$link = JRoute::_($row->link);
if ($cat_title) {
$query = "SELECT title FROM #__categories WHERE id =". $row->catid;
$database->setQuery( $query );
$categ = $database->loadResult();
}
if ($show_title) {
$title = '<a href="'. $link .'">'. $row->title . '</a>';
}
else $title = '<a href="'. $link .'">'. $row->title . '</a>';
if ( $num_intro )
{
if ($col==0) { ?><tr><?php }?>
<td valign="top" width="<?php echo $pwidth; ?>%" class="minifp"><?php
if ($loadorder == 1)
{
showThumb($row->images,$row->image,$params,$link);
}
if ($cat_title) echo '<span class="'.$class_categoria.'">'. $categ . '</span>';
if ($show_title) {
if ($title_link == 1) { echo '<span class="'.$class_introtitle.'">'.$title.'</span>'; }
else { echo '<span class="'.$class_introtitle.'">'. $row->title . '</span>'; }
echo "<p />";
}
if ($show_date) {
echo '<span class="'.$class_date.'">';
echo JHTML::_('date', $row->publish_up,$params->get( 'date_format' ), $offset);
echo '</span>';
}
if ( $row->created_by_alias ) { $author = $row->created_by_alias; }
else { $author = htmlspecialchars( $row->name ); }
if ($show_date && $show_author) {
echo $sep;
}
if ($show_author==1) {
echo '<span class="'.$class_author.'">'.$author.'</span>';
}
echo '<p />';
if ($loadorder == 0) {
// repeat code I hate this --- just because I can't create a new function -- damned
if ($thumb_embed == 1)
{
?><a href="<?php echo $link; ?>"><?php
if (!empty($row->images))
{
$img = strtok($row->images,"|\r\n");
$class="";
$extra = ' align="left" alt="article thumbnail" ';
fptn_thumb_size($img, $thumb_width, $thumb_height, $image, $extra, $class, $aspect);
echo $image;
}
else if ($row->image !="")
{
echo '<img src="'.MOD_MINIFRONTPAGE_BASEURL."/". $row->image .' " width="' . $thumb_width . '" height="' . $thumb_height .'" style="float: left;" alt="article image" />';
}
else {
$img = "";
$class="";
$extra = ' align="left" alt="article thumbnail" ';
fptn_thumb_size($img, $thumb_width, $thumb_height, $image, $extra, $class, $aspect);
echo $image;
}
?></a><?php
}
}// end if ($loadorder == 0)
if ( ($limit > 1) ) {
echo $row->introtext;
?><br /><?php
}
else {
?><div style="clear: both;"></div><?php
}
if ($fulllink !="")
{
?>
<a class="minifp-full-link" href="<?php echo $link; ?>"><?php echo $fulllink; ?></a><?php
}
?></td><?php
$num_intro = $num_intro - 1;
if ( $num_intro == 0 )
{
$ini_intro = 0;
if ( ( ( ($col + 1) % $columns ) == 0 ) && $anotherlink ) echo "</tr><tr>";
if ( ( ( ($col + 1) % $columns ) == 0 ) && !$anotherlink ) echo "</tr>";
if ($anotherlink) {
echo '<td valign="top" colspan="'.$columns.'">';
if ($header_title_links != "") echo "<span class='".$class_another_links."'>".$header_title_links."</span>";
else echo "<p />";
echo '<ul class="minifp">';
}
else { }
}
}
else if ( ($num_intro==0) && ($ini_intro == 1) )
{
if ( ( ($col + 1) % $columns ) == 0 ) echo "</tr><tr>";
echo '<td valign="top" colspan="'.$columns.'">';
if ($header_title_links != "") echo "<span class='".$class_another_links."'>".$header_title_links."</span>";
else echo "<p />";
echo '<ul class="minifp">';
echo "<li class='minifp'>". $title ."</li>";
$ini_intro = 0;
continue;
}
else {
echo "<li class='minifp'>". $title ."</li>";
}
$col = ($col + 1) % $columns;
if ($col == 0 && $num_intro) echo "</tr>";
}
if ( ($num_intro==0) && $anotherlink) { ?>
</ul></td></tr>
<?php }
echo '</table>';
}
?>

Now add following code to the end of your template's CSS:
| Code: |
/~ MiniFrontpage CSS */
.minifp td { padding-right:5px;}
.minifp td p {
margin-top:3px;}
.minifp td img {
border:none;
margin-left: 0.5em;
margin-right: 0.5em;}
.minifp-anotherlinks
{
font-weight:bold;
font-size:100%;
border-bottom:1px solid #ccc;
display:block;
padding-bottom:5px;
margin-bottom:5px;
background:url(../../../modules/mod_minifrontpage/images/application_add.gif) no-repeat top left;
padding-left:20px;
}
.minifp ul li {
font-size:94%;
padding-left:0;
}
.minifp ul li a {
}
.minifp-introtitle a {
font-size:120%;
font-weight:bold;
color: #333;
}
.minifp-introtitle a:hover {
text-decoration:underline;
}
.minifp-date {
color:#666;
font-size:9px;
font-weight:normal;
height:10px;
}
a.minifp-full-link {
font-weight:bold;
line-height:24px;
}
a:hover.minifp-full-link {
text-decoration:underline;
}

Attention! This is not the original CSS! It only works if your active template uses a standard directory structure. It should look like TEMPLATESET_NAME/TEMPLATE_CSS_FOLDER |
