In this previous thread Mariette raises the point that, when running PB, Active Forum statistics are not updated when the thread is viewèd by an unauthenticated user. At the end of the thread`she presents a REGEX snippet to add to the PB config file that works for her particular set up. I tried this on my DNN set up but it did not work, which I now see is because she seems to have friencly URLS turned off hence the URLS of her site's AF forum entries are constructed as follows: http://www.domainname.com/Default.aspx?tabid=53&view=topic&postid=25141&forumid=46 Her regex snippet uses 'view=topic' (highlighted in bold in the above URL) to filter out such pages of topics from PageBlaster. Her solution was: < PATH exclude From="All" pattern="view=topic" / > However on my and many other sites using AF (snapsis.com included?) Friendly URLs are switcehd on and the topic pages have a URL that looks like this: http://www.domainname.com/tabid/601/view/topic/forumid/9/postid/4334/Default.aspx To filter out topic pages on such sites the regex needs to filter out pages that have 'view/topic/' in the URL (I think the 2 forward slashes should be included in the filter so that AF pages with list of topics are not 'hit' by the REGEX). A complete novice to Regex (like me) would cook up something like this: < PATH exclude From="All" pattern="view/topic/" / > This - of course - does not work. John, have you any ideas on how this could be done and actually work?! You did one on a previous thread say that you saw the prepping of REGEX snippets as akin to crossword puzzles for you... This would be very useful for the many out there running DNN with PB and AF. Eoghano |
