Issue while testing Hashover on localhost
laleksic opened this issue · comments
Placed hashover.php and the hashover/ directory inside ~/public_html; all images are missing (hashover is searching for the images in localhost/hashover/images/ instead of localhost/~laleksic/hashover/images/) and the post comment button doesn't work (again it looks for hashover.php in localhost/ instead of localhost/~laleksic/). How would I go about correcting this?
Edit: Changing $root_dir to './hashover/' from '/hashover/' seems to fix the issue for the avatar image, but not for any other image nor for anything else.
HashOver expects to work from the root of the website, localhost/ in your case, not localhost/~laleksic. Hashover-Next solved this issue. I think you could give it a try, even if the code is not considered to be "mature" at this time.
Hello @laleksic
@taophp is correct, HashOver 1.0.x doesn't work from anywhere other than the root of the web server. You likely want to place the hashover directory and hashover.php file in the same place as the ~laleksic directory itself is located, and then simply load the script from the root directory.
HashOver 2.0 (hashover-next) solved this issue and many, many more, including placing HashOver itself inside a sub-directory inside of ~laleksic for example. While HashOver 2.0 isn't finished yet and not officially released, it is deliberately kept stable. I would even say it has always been more stable and secure than HashOver 1.0 since the beginning of its development.
Actually, that's the entire purpose of the 2.0 release.
It's safe to use HashOver 2.0.
