dual downloads module issue

ok lets try this again Laughing

i installed the gt and worked great, the 1 problem i did find is if you run a dual downloads mod like i do. SL dont seem to like it i have both nukestyles edl and nsn gd
nukestyles is downloads
nsngd was downloads2 ..i had to change the name of it incase a user wanted to get into the freeware section, so now downloads2 is now just FreeWare, now after looking at this and that. i figured to get SL to work on the newly renamed nsngd FreeWare so i thought to make it work all i would really need to do is rename downloads to freeware
like below

Code:

Downloads.html to FreeWare.html

downloads.html2 to modules.php?name=FreeWare

now with the modules.php?name=FreeWare it works fine
but after editing the sl code to match it dont work, i know i went wrong somewhere just dont know where lol its my 1st time playing with the googletap shortlinks

any ideas

Well, first of all, great job in analyzing this and coming up with a different tool called FreeWare. Key question: without the GT-FreeWare.php file in the ShortLinks directory, have you tried each and every link within the FreeWare module and each one works just fine? That is number 1 priority to ensure all is working there first.

Now, secondly, I am not sure which part of the SL is not working? Are the links not getting shortened? Or, are they getting shortened, but when you click them, you get a 404 Not Found error in the browser? (I have other threads which discuss that issue BTW.)

One other question: do other shortened links from other modules work fine?

yes the FreeWare "nsndlownload rename" works just fine
just no sl
the sl dose work fine everywhere else
Download.html Account.html Top.html ect
i renamed the GT-Download "for nsn dl" to GT-FreeWare and redid a little code instead of download.html changed to FreeWare.html ect since i never messed with sl untill yesterday im assuming i ether messed something up or i forgot to mod a line of code somewhere
so SL works everywhere else exept for my freeware

i thought it was kind of odd that everything works but dont work lol this can be confusing, i hope im explaining it all right

No, sorry, this confuses me:

I will assume that the issue you are having is that the links are being shortened within FreeWare, but when you click on them, you are getting the 404 error in the browser.

You also have to make the corresponding section of RewriteRules in the .htaccess file to match what you did in GT-FreeWare.php (but in the reverse). Use the existing Downloads as an example.

In addition, within GTB-Modules.php, you need to have an entry in there for FreeWare.html.

Hope this helps.
