Tell me if that helped ,

Thank you!

Thanks for the quick response but unfortunately it makes no difference. The site is here 'http://www.freckletonparishcouncil.org.uk/' if you want to have a look. I have not copied the test.html file onto the live server so you can't access it.

Pete Armitage

It is probably easier if you also have access to the test.html file so I have copied to the server. You can access it at 'http://www.freckletonparishcouncil.org.uk/test.html'

hello again petearmitage,

thank you!

I don't understand what the purpose of the llink is, unless you are suggesting that I throw away the current site and rebuild it using something else? Wordpress perhaps?

I found the readermode code and it would appear that unless the web address is followed by 'something' the readermode code does an arbitary discard and does not perform any text checks. The site can also be accessed using http://www.freckletonparishcouncil.org.uk/index.php and lo and behold the reader appears! All I need to do now is work out how to ensure the addional index.php is always used. Website configuration perhaps?

Pete

Hi Pete, that must be something new because most blogs use "clean URLs" and Reader Mode was working fine with them for many years.

Do you still have a link to where in the code it stops parsing?

Hopefully it can get fixed quickly.

Maybe the blog comparison is a poor one because links to posts usually are long paths with dates in them, even if they end with a / character instead of .php, etc.

I didn't get as far as debugging the code I found at https://dxr.mozilla.org/mozilla-release/source/toolkit/components/reader/ReaderMode.jsm I just noticed that there are a lot of url checks and wondered if it was a problem with other CMS's. When I looked at a Wordpress site I noticed that where my CMS adds a ?pagename to the domain name, Wordpress adds a directory name /pagename/, which works fine. My thought was that the ? may be a special character and if it immediately follows the domain name then the url is discarded. In my case I found that http://www.freckletonparishcouncil.org.uk/index.php?home works but the default http://www.freckletonparishcouncil.org.uk/?home doesn't. Sorry I can't be more helpful.

A full description of the work-around I am now using; Move all files from the website root into a new diirectory /site Create a new root index.php containing the following;

header( 'Location: /site/index.php' ); exit;

?>

The links now appear as http://www.freckletonparishcouncil.org.uk/site/?pagename

Reader now recognises the text on the page and displays the reader view option.
