Avenger Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 The IESDP link on http://gibberlings3.net/ still leads to the old IESDP. Quote Link to comment
Jarno Mikkola Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 ...instead of here, the point being that that's far more updated version(yesterday). And so the site should probably update. Quote Link to comment
lynx Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 we have known this forever, as it's the same permission problem that's causing other issues on g3. Quote Link to comment
Mike1072 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Yeah, but now our FTP is working again, so this is possible. Quote Link to comment
lynx Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 awesome, so it's also possible to drop in a .htaccess file to properly redirect old-style links? Quote Link to comment
Mike1072 Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 Possibly? I seem to recall messing around with it before and running into some problem, but I can give it another try. Quote Link to comment
lynx Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 (edited) I don't know what the base is (RewriteBase), but something like this should do: RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^forums.gibberlings3.net RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://gibberlings3.net/forums/$1 [R=301,L] test case:http://forums.gibberlings3.net/index.php?showtopic=29062http://gibberlings3.net/forums/index.php?showtopic=29062 Edited November 12, 2017 by lynx Quote Link to comment
AL|EN Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 This problem bother me from long time when I've reading mod old threads and find links which leads to oblivion. Lucky for me, I know how to use '29062' in the context of the links. Many other are not so please fix this using any kind ow workaround until proper fix can be implemented. Quote Link to comment

lynx Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 that's odd, this should work on the web root level. Anyway, at least IESDP can be fixed via html. Replace its index.htm with this one: <html> <head> <title></title> <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=https://gibberlings3.github.io/iesdp/" /> <style></style> </head> <body> </body> </html> Quote Link to comment

And while that will fix the index, it won't fix redirects for the 817 other pages. Don't worry, this is on the to-do list. Main nav has been fixed, the rest will keep for now. Quote Link to comment
lynx Posted November 12, 2017 Share Posted November 12, 2017 iesdp.gibberlings3.net and gibberlings3.net/iesdp are baked in many places, so it would still be helpful. But now that you have access to ftp, you could also just delete the old iesdp and add a custom 404 page with another redirect (if supported). Or if there's cron, even better ... Quote Link to comment

Right, so let me just designate a custom 404 page in my htaccess... We have the technical knowledge. We lack the time. It's on the list. Quote Link to comment

Avenger Posted November 18, 2017 Author Share Posted November 18, 2017 While you still have access to the webpage, on the links page: http://gibberlings3.net/links.php could you add forums.beamdog.com to the 'Infinity Engine Sites' ? Quote Link to comment
