jackflash Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Why Can't 4.0.12.1 Do This?You have a great topic on your forum and you want to share it on Facebook - except when you add the link to your Facebook page's wall, it does not work. IPB 4.X is the only forum that I use that cannot do this. What am I missing here? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

IPB 4.X is the only forum that I use that cannot do this. What am I missing here? Can you elaborate more...you said when you post the link to your wall, it doesn't work?Like it won't post the link or is there something else it won't do? Just a tad confused(And it also helps me realize if I need to bother with upgrading!) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
jackflash Posted August 6, 2015 Author Share Posted August 6, 2015 I am not alone, apparently. And the .htaccess file that IPS instructions you to download doesn't allow rewrite URLs, so this is a dead end for now.... Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ralf Herrmann Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 As it was said in the other topic, this is caused by Facebook changing our URLs. It does not happen on 4.0 sites with friendly URLs enabled. All this is true for any 4.0 version. It has nothing to do with 4.0.12. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
DesignzShop Posted August 6, 2015 Share Posted August 6, 2015 Works well with FB for me but of course I use friendly urls. I like the outcome of just posting a thread for example at FB. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I like the outcome of just posting a thread for example at FB.I understand about enabling friendly URLs. With that being said though, once your enable friend URLs using the htaccess file that IPS provides, the IPB produces 500 errors.Thus, the htaccess file is incorrect. How do you fix this??? What's the correct htaccess file? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Could you please submit a ticket and we can take a look at this more closely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SecondSight Posted August 8, 2015 Share Posted August 8, 2015 Hello ! Did you find a solution for the .htaccess problem ? Each time I need to access the ACP, I need to remove (rename in fact) the .htaccess file which is at the root of the web site. Once I have accessed the ACP, I can revert the .htaccess changes and it's ok for the duration of the session. Edit : it seems like it's a server side problem. Thank you !
