Hi,
my URL-structure is like:
domain.com/schule/1s/entrytitle
or
domain.com/schule/1s/entrytitle/entrynumber

If you try this, you will see a normal, correctly rendered page: http://www.lehrerfreund.de/schule/1s/lehrer-gehalt-schweiz/4211

For some unknown reason Users come from Google with an URL where the last slash is missing, that means: http://www.lehrerfreund.de/schule/1s/lehrer-gehalt-schweiz4211

This URL generates a malformed page: The content (= the article) contains just an

{/if}

and the headline to enter a comment (see attachment).

Is there any way to fix this? I mean to redirect to 404 in such cases or something similar.
I already have a 404-redirect in my single-entry-template, but this does not work in this case:

{exp:channel:entries channel="{my_channel}" ..........
{if no_results OR segment_5!=""}{redirect="schule/404"}{/if}

Thanks in advance!

Hi lehrerfreund,

I’m sorry for your experience with this!

Your redirect should work, but I think you need to check for segment_4

<a href="http://www.lehrerfreund.de/schule/1s/lehrer-gehalt-schweiz/4211">http://www.lehrerfreund.de/schule/1s/lehrer-gehalt-schweiz/4211</a>
                                        (1)     (2)             (3)                 (4)

If you change your conditional to check segment_4, what are your results?

{if no_results OR segment_4 == ""}{redirect="schule/404"}{/if}

Cheers,

Hi Dan,
no, “4211” is segment 5 in my case (counting starts with schule = 1). I use the segment-parameter in some other contexts and there it’s similar.

So this is not the case; perhaps the problem has to do with this line in the htaccess (but I don’t think so):

ErrorDocument 404 /schule/404

Hy lehrerfreund,

Lets get a look. Be expecting an email from EllisLab!

Cheers,

Thanks Dan,
replied to it, good luck under the engine hood.

Hi Berthold,

We have your information and will be working with you there. Once we have a solution, we’ll post back here with a follow up.

Thanks!

Uah, this was tricky, but Kevin could fix it (thanks Kevin!).

Thanks for all the support!
(my case closed)

Perhaps I should mention the solution 😊

This conditional:

{if no_results OR segment_5!=""}{redirect="schule/404"}{/if}

seeems not to work in this specific context. I had to split it up in two simple conditionals:

{if no_results}{redirect="schule/404"}{/if}
{if segment_5!=""}{redirect="schule/404"}{/if}

Glad I could help figure this one out, lehrerfreund! Have a good one.
