Dead Links

[trux]

Just a minor problem: on the front page and on the news page, all links to categories, such as FreeDiving or Scuba, trigger a "Page Not Found" error. It would be useful if one wanted to subscribe to a RSS feed on a specific category only.

Stephan, I am not sure if you saw this post, but the links to News categories on the main page are still dead - for example this one: FreeDiving

Also, it would be quite welcome if the news category was included in the RSS feeds - that would allow those of use using RSS readers, to get only news from categories that interest us, and avoiding for example scuba and hunting news when I want to get only pure freediving news. Currently the reader is cluttered by unwanted messages, which makes it less useful.

If you need any assistance with fixing it, do not hesitate to contact me.

Yes, I know, but the links on the main page are still broken. Additionally, the RSS feeds on the page you linked are not respecting the choice of the page and showing all news instead.

i clicked on teh links from the main page... all of them work?

The RSS i cant help with, Stephan will see to it when he can, he has a few issues going on right now

Works for me on the main page. Do you have some unrefreshed early version you're using or something? the links are different, yours is .......deeperblue.net/news.php/2 and the ones on the home page is .......deeperblue.net/cats.php/2

No, the news category links do not work. Well, they do work in some way, but lead to a "Page Not Found" page. Just try clicking the links in the middle column below the news headlines:

November 25, 2007 in FreeDiving

The target link in your version is different to the one I see. mine work fine no page not founds found

As I wrote - on the main page, in the middle column, not on the news page. See the screenshot:

Ivo - thanks for this - I was aware of it just haven't had time to fix it recently. Will be doing some site updates this week which this is going to be one of them.

We already have the category specific RSS feeds setup - just need to work them into the site design.

That's excellent - if you know the URL syntax from the top off of the head, without needing to search it, could you post it here? In this, way I could start using it quickly. Otherwise, I'll gladly wait for the site update, of course.

http://feeds.deeperblue.net/deeperblue-news-[category] (e.g. DeeperBlue.net - News: FreeDiving )

and

http://feeds.deeperblue.net/deeperblue-articles-[category] (e.g. DeeperBlue.net - Articles )

Bear in mind these URL's are still beta and not truly ready for public consumption until I release them onto the main site so bear in mind there may be faults in selection logic or problems with the feeds themselves.
