.php4 file extension

[Brooks]

My server requires me to use .php4 file extensions. When I installed the Lite version of vBulletin, I changed all the file extensions, including code, and had no problems. But, now with the real deal, I cannot get all of the links to work. I changed all of the extensions and all of the code including the vbcode. Some of the links work and some don't.

Here is a link to the index page

If you click on the links to the forums, it has a .php extension. If you then change it to .php4 it goes to the correct page. Once you get to the actual forum some of the links are in .php4, but the ones back up to the index are not.

Any suggestions?

Thanks in advance.

you're going to have to go through the program files themselves and make sure you have changed every ".php" to ".php4" in the coding. you've obviously missed some.

The best thing you can do is to do a search and replace in all files (looks like you've missed vbulletin.style in this instance), replacing '.php' with '.php4'

[Brooks]

I originally used Dreamweaver 3.0 to find and replace all .php with .php3. I have since manually gone thru and searched again, including the vbulletin.style file. They've all been changed

Does anyone know what the exact file is that creates the links on the index page? Because, that page shows .php for all of the links. If I knew what file was creating those links...

did you try reuploading vbulletin.style after you changed all the extensions in it to.php4?

try importing it over the "defualt" style. that should overwrite your existing templates with the new ones with the .php4 extensions.

[Brooks]

Yes. I actually downloaded it from my server. That is what I sent you. Plus, I just deleted it off of my server and uploaded it again after reading this. Do you know which file is inserting the links into the index page?

It's not just a case of re-uploading by ftp the vbulletin.style file, but actually importing it back into your board. The vbulletin.style file includes all the default templates that are now part of your mysql vB database. It is these templates that still have the .php links in them.

I hope you understand it's not that easy to explain.

Delhaze,

Yes, that did it. Now I understand. Thanks.
