Hello, it came to my notice that some of the topics/posts whereby forum members post a hyperlink to another thread etc, sometimes i tend to see the message "The server has moved, please visit .....etc."

Any idea what happen??

An example will here this thread here viewtopic.php?f=221&t=415420

- The hyperlink posted by GameStar has this message once you go into the link....

That is because we have recently moved sever.

If you look at the link in your address bar now, you will notice it says "http://www.runevillage.com" whilst if you look at the link I posted in the Computer Guide is "http://www.runevillage.net", which is the old server.

You simply have to change the .net to .com.

I've been meaning to automatically replace all references of "runevillage.net" to "runevillage.com" but then realised it would also replace some that shouldn't be replaced (like these posts explaining the difference between the two), so decided not to.

Can't you do a search for if something is a link or not, Glodenox?

In theory that's possible, but it's really an annoying thing to do (involves using regular expressions, which I'm not too good at).

I haven't seen that many cases where this problem occurs though, so I still don't think I'll bother.

Oh, it happens all over. There's a lot of old stickies that have broken links, and some of the guides do when linking back to the forums. Trying to fix the instances I've seen of it on the forums, but I don't have access to fix it in the guides.

Feel free to post the guide ones, and one of us will correct it.

Glode stick this in the common.php file..

Code: Select all

header('Location: http://www.runevillage.com' . $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
exit;

That should fix everything.

That would be great, but I don't think I have access to the .net server... I'll try it nonetheless.

EDIT: hmm... Apparently it is still on a different server or in a different folder at least... I can't seem to connect to a runevillage.net server through PHP, so I'm quite stuck. Another solution would be a Javascript one, but I don't like such solutions too much.

EDIT2: accessified! ^_^;

Applying patch right now...
EDIT3: applied and it fully works

Thanks for the great idea Frogger

Simple, but I didn't think of it.

No problem.
