Hi there,

When I enable query strings in the config.php file, it stops the pagination from working as it changes the pagination links.

They change from this: mywebsite.com/blog/P10 (which works)

To this: mywebsite.com/blog&per_page=P10 (which doesn’t work)

With query strings enabled, pagination does work if I manually change the URL to the format that works above.

Is there a way to enable the query strings (which I need to make an addon work), without it changing the pagination links at all?

Or if not, is this a bug? I’m using EE 2.1.4 Beta 20110411.

Thanks,

Stephen

Hi, Stephen -

Are you removing index.php?  Two things:

1.  I’d recommend using the supported method of removing index.php, which can account for the question mark.

2.  You’re on an older beta, so an update to 2.2 is likely in order.

Does that help?

Hi Lisa,

1. I’ve just tried using the supported .htaccess method but that didn’t work either. I also tried manually adding /index.php into the URL, but that didn’t help.

2. I’ll have to check my addons and see if I’m okay to upgrade to EE 2.2, then I’ll come back to you about this.

Also, the way my pagination links changed from /blog/P10 to /blog&per_page=P10 after query strings were enabled - is that normal?

Thanks,

Stephen

No, that isn’t normal; actually, I’m happy you brought it back up because seeing it with fresh eyes - I’m wondering if you’re using some form of add-on for pagination, or even something like Structure?

I’m not using any specific pagination addons, but I am using Structure. I’ll have a go at disabling/re-enabling things and see if I can narrow it down. I’ll report back.

Thanks,

Stephen

While you try that, can you paste a minimized template code? The bare minimum to reproduce this issue - ie just the entries tag and pagination?

Thanks!

I’m having the exact same problem with EE 2.2.1—any news?

Just came across FountainInternet’s perfect Low Replace workaround that’ll do for now: http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/176487/#852559

Hi, Matt -

Those aren’t URLs that EE generates.  Are you also on 2.2.1? 

Also, are you using any add-ons?  It may be time for us to have a look, but let’s get these answers then move from there.

Thank you.

Hey Lisa,

Yes this is on 2.2.1, and this is an add-on-heavy install:
CartThrob
Mountee
SEO Lite
Structure
BN Edit Menu
CP Analytics
Current URL
Freebie
Low NoSpam
EE2 Child Categories
ImageSizer
Low Replace
Low Widon’t
Low Yearly Archives
URL title to entry ID
Matrix

This site is now public so I’m hesitant to start disabling add ons, but I can back up and be quick/sneaky if you’d recommend it.

Hi, Matt -

If you can sneak in temporarily disabling all extensions - using the “Disable all Extensions” button (do not disable individual extensions, that will cause data loss)  - then that might help us figure out what is going on.

Let me know what you find out.  Thank you!

Okay, I just disabled the extensions via big green button and nothing happened. I also deleted all caches for good measure, but exact same on-page result with the “blog&per_page=P6” style links.

Did the extensions grey out, Matt?  Want to make sure the disabling “took”.

I’m going to send an email your way, so please be on the lookout in the next few minutes.

Yes, they grayed out and the little green confirmation icon appeared as expected:

Alright.  We got your details and having a look.  Will update here as soon as we know more.  Thanks Matt!
