www and no www bug

Hey,
Thanks for this integration tool, its cool.

Not sure if you know about this bug, but have you noticed how images and style sheets dont get address proper when you try your address with or without the www.

I see the bug is on your example too:

http://www.nukedgallery.net/modules.php?name=gallery2
http://nukedgallery.net/modules.php?name=gallery2

its possible to get it to work without the www by changing settings in gallery2.cfg, but then it stops workin with the www.
but is there a workaround to get it to work for both?

Thanks
Dave

my short term fix for this is to refresh everyone who goes to the site without the www onto the www site.

/includes/meta.php
just below

Code: ›
##################################################
# Include for Meta Tags generation #
##################################################

put in:

Code: ›
$adddress= $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'];
if ($adddress == "my_domain.net") /* Note without the www. */
{
$url_re = "http://www.my_domain.net".$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'];
echo "<META HTTP-EQUIV=\"Refresh\" CONTENT=\"1; URL=".$url_re."\">\n";
}

Not a proper fix for your problem, but might help some people in the mean time.

nah, fixed it. it was a bug w/ the "embedURI". if you included the domain name, ie:
http://www.foo.com/modules.php?name=gallery2

in the embedURI directive, you got the bug you see. If, however, you just make it:
modules.php?name=gallery2

it works for both Smile

nice catch Smile

btw, you mentioned a workaround until it was fixed (of course it was fixed already)

but..

If your server has mod_rewrite enabled, which most supporting nuke do,

you can add these lines in .htaccess file to force the link to be replaced with www. (Of course replacing yourdomain with your real domain name.

Code: ›
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^yourdomain\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.yourdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Basically what will happen is if a user enters in http://yourdomain.com mod_rewrite will kick in and force it to be http://www.yourdomain.com

just posted for future reference in case someone searches for a similar problem with other modules/blocks ect..
