[FIXED] Links to anchor don't work after 1.0.7 to 1.0.9 update

Post by conum » Tue Jun 06, 2006 7:08 pm

I have a lot of anchors () in my content (and static content) and much links (target1) to that anchors. Since updating to 1.0.9 these links don't work anymore. Instead of showing the "target1" the link is to the frontpage "www.xyz.de/index.php#target1"
What went wrong? In 1.0.7 and before everything worked as it should.

Hi,

I have tested with a clean install of Joomla! 1.0.9. stable and can confirm the issue. Will mark the topic as CONFIRMED. Still need to trace what is causing this.

Is there any work-around for this? I also have this issue and it is quite annoying!

Hi Tijs,

Still need to investigate the problem, so can't give you a workaround yet.

As a workaround, I've gone into the mySQL database using PHPMyAdmin and inserted the relative URL for the page in front of the anchor.  So example becomes example.

The core code doesn't change it when you do it that way.  Not sure if this is the best workaround but from the viewpoint of my users, it's a fix.
Curiosity killed the cat, but for a while I was a suspect.

I have about 30 static content items and some content items too, which I would have to change. But I don't want it. The code has to be changed, so that it works like before!

The point being, it is better practice to have relative links than absolute ones in case the URL changes later on. For now I just put the full absolute URL in front of the #link but obviously it would be better if we can keep using relative links.

Hi

I have done some investigation with SEF on and it seems that the error is in ‘mambots/content/mossef.php’, the reason is that the call to sefRelToAbs() do not include information about the current page.

A possible solution could be:

Replace line 76

Code: Select all

	$link 		= sefRelToAbs( $matches[1] );
With:

Code: Select all

	if ( substr($matches[1],0,1) == '#' ) {
		// anchor
		$temp 	= split('index.php', $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
		$link 	= sefRelToAbs( 'index.php' . @$temp[1]);
		$link	= $link .  $matches[1];
	} else {
		$link 	= sefRelToAbs( $matches[1] );
	}
This seems to solve the problem.

Hi again

Try unpublish the SEF manbot, ther is a bug in it that do not stop it from running if SEF is disablet.

Or uncomment lines 34 to 36 in 'mambot/content/mossef.php'

Change lines 34 to 36 from

Code: Select all

	//if ( !$mosConfig_sef ) {
	//	return true;
	//}

to

Code: Select all

	if ( !$mosConfig_sef ) {
		return true;
	}

I unpublished the sef-mambot and my jumps to anchors work again. Thanks a lot.
I don't know, what this means, as I never used SEF and I don't know, why it was published :o

At first i thought it was Open-SEF, but after upgrading now, turning open sef off and just using standard Joomla SEF, I can see that Joomla is definitely the problem.

I have tried numerous fixes posted on here (including the ones above) and the open-sef forum.

anchors only seem to be working properly on the front page,
any other page it will just jump to the front page.

Anyone figure this out?

On this page, it uses a moo-fx nav, on the front page the nav panels slide open no problem. and the top button works

On this page if you try to use the nav it will just shoot you back to home.

It seems to me that it is within a menu module you are using references to page anchors (e.g. href="#foo").

To do this you must create a "Links -- url" menu item (e.g. index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1&Itemid=2#foo).

The Joomla function resposible for the translation of internal links to SEF links requires the "index.php?option..." part, otherwise it wil just set the link to "#foo", and the html tag "" redirects you to the frontpage.

The problem in this thread, is page anchors within a single content item do not work, because the "index.php?option..." part do not get set by the sef-bot.

thanks, but that is not a module, it is a menu hard coded into my template. and this IS an achor problem nothing more.
thanks for the help though.

havshoei's suggested fix didn't work for me with SEF on and 404SEF... A proper work around would be much appreciated.

Thanks

Matt

P.s: I mainly have issues with content pages with href links all over the place.

After further testing on havshoei's hack, I can confirm that it works on content pages! The reason why I reported it not working is that JamboReport's hrefs still don't work. But that can be related to the component.

Thanks a lot havshoei for sharing with us your finding.

Hyperlinked Footnotes

Post by sural98 » Wed Jun 14, 2006 6:26 pm

Quote
I have added a text with hyperlinked footnotes into http://localhost/site. The hyperlinks are relative to the text. eg

[1]

The problem is that this hyperlink points to http://localhost/site/#_ftn1. The content related section of the address is stripped out.
What would be the problem?
Any help will strongly be appreciated because I was about to publish the site. It is postponed because of this problem now.
Thanks.

I had experienced this problem in 1.0.9 stable. I have replaced the current files with 1.0.8 and the problem is over now. That is the hyperlinked footnotes point to the correct paths now.
I do not know what in 1.0.9 caused this problem.

Better is to wait for a fix by the Joomla Team. Workarounds may cause other problems.

I'd be interested in hearing some type of response.. can't upgrade until there is a solution.  (and I'm running an old version)
Think for yourself, question authority.

Hi All,

We are looking at it, but with a long list of reports it's taking some time for us to gather all info and get an overview. It's under our attention and as soon as we have found the real problem a possible fix will also be posted.

Thanks for your patience, regards Robin

I installed the fix and it still doesn't work. with core joomla sef or open sef.
i believe this had to do with anchors within content items. my problem is all my anchors redirect me to the home page. they will work on the home page though.

Hi danimal.

I just tested the fix myself, it restores anchors in content from redirecting to frontpage. The anchors are working for me again. You might try another ftp client, or at least check if the new file has been uploaded correctly. To make sure 100%, delete it first from your webserver, then upload the new, this will prevent any errors.

I did it again just to humour myself and no,  it does not work.
