Hello everyone,
I've got POD up and running on my site and I am now customising it to fit in.
It's great but I am a bit confused about where some of the pages should be.
The about, add url, help links etc just return my footer. Can anyone tell me where these pages should be so that they will return with the footer? or where the link to change is?

hi Mik,

real interesting site you have.

how about if you changed the path to those pages? for example, http://www.homegroan.co.uk/fjyav9wculqy/cgi-bin/pod/pod.cgi/about.html (remove ?dir= after pod.cgi ). of course, your directory structure has to match so the page can be found.

that's totally a guess by looking at your site and comparing it with other sites and where they have their links set up. so it could be totally wrong, but it may be worth a try.

good luck!

Thanks for the input Splash,
I was looking at that too
The problem I have is that it is the script that returns these links and I can't find where to change them.
I'm a bit new at this so I dont want to mess with the script till I know that I'm in the right place.
The Link called, link works pulling the page from the server I was just assuming the rest would do the same.
I think I'll go and have a coffee and come back to it later.
Thanks!

Hmmmmm....... Strange behavior.

What kind of system are you running it on? Linux? What version?

In your podvars.pm file, try changing this:

$pod_usequery=1;

to

$pod_usequery=0;

and see if that helps?

Hi Doc
I tried that yesterday and again today but all I get then is:

POD encountered the following error while trying to run:
404 Not Found
Attempted retrieval URL: http://dmoz.org/fjyav9wculqy/cgi-bin/pod/pod.cgi
Everything works perfectly with usequery at 1 except for
About, Add url, help and become editor
The page is here if you would like to have a look
http://www.homegroan.co.uk/search.shtml
Thanks

This works for me:

$pod_urlpath="/cgi-bin/pod.cgi";

$pod_fullpath="/cgi-bin/pod.cgi";

$pod_usequery=1;

All found near the beginning of 'podvars.pm'

ALSO...

Look in 'pod.cgi' for $pod_fullpath$pod_dirext\/about.html

Hard linking the $pod_fullpath variable MAY or MAY NOT help. As I often say, I'm not gifted in CGI Perl. You have to place a \ before every / and some other stuff like colons and periods I think.

What you may try is setting up A SEPERATE folder and duplicating the pod scripts there. This will allow you to experiment with the script WITHOUT harm to your site. You may be doing this already. I hope you get things working.

Hi Freddy,
I think I'm losing it! I've been staring at this code all day long.
What I really can't figure out is why LINK works but ADD URL ETC. do not
Nothing I do makes any difference to that at all
Everything else works perfectly
I don't want to give up but I am completely stumped at the moment.
