These hacks are dangerous. They have been done as last resort to overcome problems that were otherwise unsolvable. Do not use these in any other situation. Recorded here only as a reference.
Search Not Working
When URL forwarding and very short urls used together my Mod_Rewrite scripts could not handle the search function. The following was done to overcome this problem. Edit the skin.php and change as follows
function getSearchLink() {
$searchPage =& Title::makeTitle( NS_SPECIAL, 'Search' );
#Comment the line below and add the new return line.
// return $searchPage->getLocalURL();
return "/index.php?Special:Search";
- Note
- The URL rewriting should not rewrite requests with index.php
