Make sure you have done the following;
In nukeroot/rnconfig.php change

Code:

$tnsl_bUseShortLinks = FALSE;
$tnsl_bAutoTapBlocks = FALSE;

to

Code:

$tnsl_bUseShortLinks = TRUE;
$tnsl_bAutoTapBlocks = TRUE;

Make sure you have copied the code in Shortlinks.htaccess file to your main htaccess file

[Edited by montego: I just corrected the .htaccess reference a bit]

Thanks! Yes, especially that last one gets folks more than 9 times out of 10. Smile

mod_rewrite could be a reason, too Wink

Good point Misha. Raven worked with me long back on how to test that mod_rewrite was in fact working properly. Check out this thread here:

There were other tools provided by the GoogleTap/GTNG author to test mod_rewrite, but I found them to not work properly on my set up. So, the above approach should work every time with every set up.

There are several different approaches mentioned in the thread, so be sure to read it in its entirety.

Having a little issue with Shortlinks
I get this at the top left of every page

Code:

[nextGenFunction] = Present In Header
[nextGenName] = News (Main Module)
[nextGenPath] = GT File :: ShortLinks/GT-News.php :: Does Exist
[nextGenPath] = Using GT File :: ShortLinks/GT-News.php
[nextGenPath] = Using GT File :: ShortLinks/GTZ-PageTap.php
[nextGenPath] = GT File :: ShortLinks/GTZ-PageTap.php :: Does Exist

adn this above every block:

Code:

[nextGenFunction] = Present In Block
[nextGenPath] = GTB File Does Not Exist

EDIT!!!

Sorry, I figured it out. I had the debug statement set to TRUE. Sorry all!

Nope, this is good. Now everyone who sees this will know and not have the same issue. Thanks!

In addition, if you still get 404 errors, check to make sure you have the following line in your .htaccess file above all the rewrite statements:

RewriteEngine on

If you still get 404 errors, you must find out if your host has mod_rewrite active. The following thread will help you with that:

r1_dave, thank you for this. I have never seen this needed (until now) at the root level, but this is also useful if one has troubles with subdomains. The "/" may be replaced with any path from the web root.

Well this had me puzzled! The only thing in the shortlinks htaccess was deny from all!!?? How could this fix anything? Problem was I looked in my nukeroot/shortlinks/.htaccess file. Logical eh? Gotta look in nukeroot/ShortLinks.htaccess. That's where the treasure trove of rewrites lies.
