url

[3l3ktr0n]

What would be the reason for getting a 404 with this method I'm trying?
or
Why is the forum one working and mine not?

Any insight anyone?

$config['gamespage'] = array(
'alias' => 'games',
'regex' => '^{alias}/?page=([0-9]+)',
'sef' => '{alias}/?page={page}',
'redirect' => '{e_PLUGIN}games/games.php?page=$1'
);

$config['move'] = array(
'sef' => 'forum/post/?f=move&id={thread_id}',
'legacy' => '{e_PLUGIN}forum/forum_post.php?f=move&id={thread_id}'
);

Thanks!

And your url is? /site/games/?page=1 ???

[3l3ktr0n]

yes

At first, very important - I am not an expert in this, my answer is just learned by practice.

Your forum example is not good, because there is no regex key.

Regex key is normal regex expression, so I use this tool:

This is the working version:
games\/\?page=([0-9]+)

Try it yourself with your own example and you will see - the problem was in question mark.

Try in e_url:
{alias}/?page=([0-9]+)
or - without that first backslash that debugger is not working but I noticed it is not needed for e107 sometimes.
games/?page=([0-9]+)

And I don't know why you have there that + (plus) sign.

thank you! weird why it's working for the forum example

I have a select form search filter for filtering the database. e_url and sef + pagination is driving me nuts. I probably suffered brain damage by doing this.
There's also no documentation on urls with optional parameters. Maybe someone can give some insight how to optimize it.

This is tedious.

What are you trying to do? e_URL has a little with pagination itself. But I could be wrong, of course.

This is pagination:
$tp->parseTemplate("{NEXTPREV={$parms}} and you just need correct $params.

I think you got it wrong way.
if your url is games/?filter=*** OR games/?platform=*** and your regex is almost the same, why are you using it at all?

if you had f.e. /games/filter-value/platform-value/genre-value/page/2 , then I understand using e_url but not in your case

Using pretty urls is overrated...

I would take everything after /games/? and use it like {e_PLUGIN}games/games.php?$1 and then in games.php work with e_QUERY like before.

You will save you a lot of headache.

Yeah, I was there too... Just imagine that each page would have page version and not mention filtering....
Look: https://github.com/e107-eFiction/efiction-plugins-for-e107/blob/main/e107_plugins/efiction/e_url.php

I would be glad if somebody show you better way... I wasn't succesfull at that time so I solved it this way then. You can stilll use e107::url() your way.
