General Support: Not getting Cruft-Free URLs in Beta 3 (dev)

Anybody help me ....to give the complete steps to getting Cruft-Free URL in Beta 3 version please

I'm also having problems with the cruft-free URLs. Clicking the check box in the Options creates an .htaccess file with working redirect instructions, but the links within the site haven't been rewritten. Upon closer look, the check box is de-selected when the Options page is reloaded.

in beta 3 i believe cruft free is turned off if plogger is placed in sub directories because other scripts like wordpress already modify the rewrite and could cause problems for plogger. look at the file plog-load_config.php for these comments in beta 3.

What exactly needs to be enabled in plog-load_config.php for this to work?

Enabling:

// disable our own cruft-free urls, because the URL has already been processed
// by WordPress
$config["use_mod_rewrite"] = 1;

gives me an infinite looping URL like this:

http://www.domain.com/photos/carscars/miscellaneouscars

with Collection "Cars" and Album "Miscellaneous".

Plogger is located in subdirectory /photos of my site.

HELP!
I'm having the exact same problem and I have no clue why! Esp. since it's been working perfectly for many months and now all of a sudden the box seems to have unchecked itself, I don't think I have changed a thing in the plogger installation recently (a beta 3 dev version).

I looked in that plog-load_config.php file, and found embedded = 1 and cruft-free = 0. When I changed that to 0 and 1 I did get the cruft-free urls, but they'd go crazy when I continued to click on other links within the collections or albums :( The whole line would stay and the new info (album or file name) would be added so it didn't make sense anymore. For now I've changed those settings back to 1 and 0.

Please help me... Since I installed Wordpress and Plogger (WP in the root of www.wobben.org and Plogger in /gallery - not connected except for normal links and same looking layout) in March or so, I have transferred years of old posts and pics from previous services and gallery software... I've used the cruft-free urls for months without any problems so I've used them for my links in all these posts....... they're all screwed now :(

I just fixed this I think:

If you have Plogger operating in a sub-directory (but are not using some type of application like WordPress), simply comment out the if statement around line 36 in the plog-load_config.php file so that line 42 can operate properly:
$config["baseurl"] = "http://".$_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"]. substr($_SERVER["PHP_SELF"],0,strrpos($_SERVER["PHP_SELF"],"/")) . "/";

So the whole section will now look like this:
/*if (dirname(__FILE__) != dirname(realpath($_SERVER["PATH_TRANSLATED"])) && strpos($_SERVER["PATH_TRANSLATED"],"admin") === false) {
$config["embedded"] = 1;
// disable our own cruft-free urls, because the URL has already been processed
// by WordPress
$config["use_mod_rewrite"] = 1;
} else {*/
$config["baseurl"] = "http://".$_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"]. substr($_SERVER["PHP_SELF"],0,strrpos($_SERVER["PHP_SELF"],"/")) . "/";
//}

Follow the steps I outlined above and that should work. Just comment out the following line in plog-load_config.php:
$config["baseurl"] = "http://".$_SERVER["HTTP_HOST"]. substr($_SERVER["PHP_SELF"],0,strrpos($_SERVER["PHP_SELF"],"/")) . "/";
