Standard SEF in Joomla causing pagination url error

After checking my site and wondering why an error was popping up sometimes and not all the time, I realized I had two links to get to the database. One link was created through the Joomla admin by clicking on "New->Connectivity->etc." and the other was created as an "External Link" with the url given in the Connectivity Form Management view.

The link created through the specific connectivity menu item gets abbreviated to yoursite.com/something/alias format and then choosing different options from the pagination dropdown, then going to another page number, causes a 404 error. This does not happen when the "External Link" is visited to begin with. By clicking on the link created with the "External Link" function, the url seems to work fine and all pages are viewable.

I have this on:
Joomla 1.5.8, standard Joomla SEF (no extra plugins)
MySQL 5+
PHP 5.2.8

ChronoForms 3.0 stable (downloaded Jan. 4th)
ChronoConnectivity 1.2 (downloaded Jan. 4th)
Applied following patches:
admin.chronoconnectivity.html.zip from here http://www.chronoengine.com/forums.html?cont=posts&f=12&t=11019#p17041
chronoconnectivity.zip from here http://www.chronoengine.com/forums.html?cont=posts&f=12&t=11562&p=17172#p17172
And made following code adjustments per this post: http://www.chronoengine.com/forums.html?cont=posts&f=13&t=11690#p19024

I have changed the link on my site so all is well, but that's why I'm not including a live link here.

Hi benblee,

I didn't try Joomla 1.5.8 SEF yet but creating a menu item of type "Connectivity" and then adding the connection name at the right side box will make a good SEF link, look at our FAQs page here, its done this way! I will test any new releases with the latest Joomla version though!

That's what I had tried and it was causing the issue. The initial url was nice and worked, but using the pagination was causing the 404 pages.

Strange, I will test with 1.5.8 when I get sometime and solve it in a new release!

Hi,

I thought I might need to post my own thread but I felt that this the same issue.

I am having this problem as well. I am using the standard joomla SEF and it works fine up until the point someone changes the displayNum value. Then it starts giving me 404 errors when I click on different pages.

My page with the problem having SEF enabled. Simply change the display number and click another page.

Any help is appreciated.

Hi Leethyl ,

I'm afraid that Pagination is CC has some serious problems. For the moment, try adding this to the Footer box

<input type='hidden' name='option' value='com_chronoconnectivity' />

and see if that fixes the missing option parameter.

Bob

Nope. Still happening. It works perfectly fine when SEF is disabled.

I'm afraid that Pagination is CC has some serious problems.

:( So is this the final answer then? Do I just leave it and unsinstall this wonderful piece of software??

Hi Leethyl,

Up to you, if it's working OK without SEF URls then the problem is probably with the SEF URL configuration. Try turning them off for ChronoConnectivity and ChronoForms.

Bob

Wow! I must be honest Grey that this is not the answer I was looking for. I was at least hoping that you were going to tell me that you would look in to the problem and see why this might be happening....

Sorry, I don't mean to offend I simply feel that you could have assisted me by investigating further.

EDIT: Removed as I feel it was too rude. sorry.

Grey, How can I disable my SEF just for chronoconnect and Chronoforms?

So we can essentially say that ChronoConnect ONLY works 100% if SEF is disabled? Cause Pagination is a huge part of record set viewing and without it, it is only 50% of a product. Therefore, DO NOT use if SEF is enabled...

Hi Leethyl,

Sorry to have surprised you.

What SEF are you running? Just the standard Joomla SEF? That 'should' work OK as far as I know but I haven't tested recently. If you are using sh404SEF or Ace SEF then you can set it to skip selected components. (Someone recently posted an sh440SEF plugin for CF & CC too.)

I simply feel that you could have assisted me by investigating further.

True . . . but also true of every other post here. I'm a volunteer helper here. I didn't write the code and I already spend too much time answering queries and deleting spam. (I just counted - it averages around 12 posts a day 365 days a year.)

In practice, it can be often that posts get more than a few minutes attention.

I am using the standard SEF from joomla. Pagination isnt working when SEF is enabled.

This is happening on my install too (standard Joomla SEF) - works great with SEF turned off; however, I can't turn it off!🙂

We are using this to edit a table with over 3000 records so being able to use pagination would be nice.

Is any progress on this being made?

Thanks!

I just discovered that it works with standard Joomla SEF as long as you do not change the limit selector before changing pages. If you change the limit selector first it will take you to an empty page. To solve this problem I'm just going to add this to the header section in chronoconnectivity (to remove the limit selector):

<style>
.limit {display: none;}
</style>

Using Joomla! 05/01/1916 stable
on Apache/2.2.6 (Fedora)
PHP. 5.1.6
template - Link News - Form 5 - December 2008 Club Template


I have several menu items that have a design category list. In the bottom of each list is the standard links page <<Start <Previous 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 8 9 10 Next> End>>. Clicking on any of the links, for example 5: (../index.php/Table/At-Large/index.php/Page-5.html), which is a type joomla error page 404. "404 - Article # 9189 not found"

I went to the Menu Manager and reviewed each of the elements (in the advanced settings) to ensure that the paging is set to "show. "

Any ideas?bicicletas de montaña
