I have some questions regarding the Generate Search Box section of Fatbomb 2.0.

1. When I click the generate button, it puts in the skin and value but the url is always domain.com. Am I supposed to manually change that each time or do I have a config setting I need to change?

2. What is the Test button for? If it is for a keyword search, do I need to alter the url for the form action first? Whenever I click it, it takes me to the url with domain.com in it. So not sure what the Test button is for!

Thanks,

Jon

I'm not sure how it could happen. Normally it should be your domain name there.

The easiest way to fix it is to:

1. Download the file 'fatbomb/data/config.dat'.

2. Find the line which looks like
$data->{SCRIPT_URL} = 'http://domain.com/cgi-bin/fatbomb/fatbomb.cgi';
and remove it or specify the correct domain name.

3. Upload 'config.dat' back.

Thanks Kirill. I have made that edit and now in the Generate Search Box section it shows the correct url. However, when I try the test button, I get "The page cannot be displayed."

Any ideas?

Does search itself work? You may check it in the "Search" tab in the Admin area.

What is the URL of the page that "cannot be displayed"?

Kirill

The url is: http://nottellingyou.co.uk/cgi-bin/fatbomb/fatbomb.cgi/?skin=skin5&length=20&keywords=Access%20Control

(have kept my domain secret)

When I go to the Search menu in the Admin area, it always looks the same. The skins don't change.

But does search work there? When you enter some keywords and click "Search", does it produce results?

Could you also check if the url
http://nottellingyou.co.uk/cgi-bin/fatbomb/fatbomb.cgi/?keywords=any+keywords
work?

Do you have access to your server error logs?

Jon,

Do you click the "Generate" button before testing?

Yes, found the solution now! Thanks Krilli for your suggestion to change the config.dat file. I edited the filename to my own site and that cured part of it. But the Test button didn't work.

Why? Because I missed an "l" off part of my domain name. :|

All is working now and I look forward to getting fat on adsense revenue. That is if Google is accepting of these kind of pages. Incidentely, if I want to ask search engine kind of questions and stuff about Fatbomb and Google adsense etc where do I do it? Is it the Fatty forum or the Madbombers forum? Or not on this site?

Thanks for all the support.
