This is bizarre, not even sure why it is happening, but a link I have setup as <a href=”/analysis”> shows up in the URL address bar as “http://domainname/analysis/?/analysis”

this is so random, that I can’t even begin to figure out why it is showing up.  Would anyone have an idea about this?

Quite possibly it’s your server that’s forcing them

See “Query strings” at http://ellislab.com/expressionengine/user-guide/general/urls.html and http://expressionengine.com/wiki/Workaround_for_Forced_Query_Strings/

Thanks for the assist, Rob.

J. Hull, are you attempting to remove index.php via .htaccess?

I agree with Rob - let’s see if that’s what the issue is..

Yes I am using .htaccess and it works brilliantly on every other template group, save for this one. The thing is, everything works, all the templates show up, site works as expected, just that one template group (analysis)—and only when there aren’t any segments following it, does it add the “?/analysis” to the URL above. If I go to “/analysis/article” it doesn’t modify the URL string at top.

I’m developing locally with MAMP so perhaps it is something there, maybe it doesn’t like the word analysis? I don’t know.

Hi, J. Hull.

What happens if you try something like this:

See screen shot

Same thing pops up.

Even if I simply enter “http://domainname.com/analysis” directly into the browser, it comes back with “http://domainname.com/analysis/?/analysis”

If, however, I add a trailing slash like this “http://domainname.com/analysis/” it remains like that.

Weird thing is, I have many different template groups that don’t behave like this.

What do you have in your .htaccess file? On MAMP, you shouldn’t have to force query strings.

Here’s the whole thing:

AddType video/ogg .ogv
AddType video/mp4 .mp4
AddType audio/m4a .m4a
AddType audio/ogg .ogg

RewriteEngine On

J. Hull,

Are you using the Pages module, Structure, etc? Try disabling extensions. Also, what’s on the analysis/index template itself? If you temporarily make it blank, do you still see that behavior when going to the URL directly in the browser?
