J4 Component URL not SEF

Post by yann112 » Fri Sep 30, 2022 7:52 am

I have the same problem that the topic -> viewtopic.php?f=816&t=992747
(I open a new one because it seems that I can not post another message on this topic has been marked on solved)

I take the liberty of repeating the desription of the original problem made by ADT 22 because it describe it well :
"
Hi, I have recently upgraded to J4. However I have just noticed that my components are not loading SEF URLS. SEF URLS are switched on and most items are working fine, I just have a couple of custom components that I have selected as a direct menu item like:

index.php?option=com_componentname&view=componentname

after doing this my menu loads the URL: example.com/mypage?view=componentname I didn't have this problem in J3+ and think this is related to my components, but was wondering if anybody could point me in the right direction to start looking for the fault. Note I am able to load and visit the correct URL it's just the menu that is adding the additional query string parameter to the address. I presume my fault is likely to be caused by a component as some components are loading the URL correctly

"

I have read the links and answers on the original topic but always the same result for me and I think I'm missing something in the understanding of this routing...


-> 1) It's a new problem in J4, in J3 the SEF URL of component work normaly => SEF URL and possibility to pass parameter. Why this change of functioning? What is the advantage? ?

-> 2) In J4 what is the minimum required to have the same behaviour that in J3 ?

I understand that I need to create a new router file with the structure below : (I would before validate the principle and the structure of file before make the example code)

Code: Select all

Basic structure :

my_component
- src
- - Services
- - - Router.php -> register view in Routerview, correct ?
			
In Exemple, another file are added :
			
my_component
- src
- - Services
- - - ComponentnameNomenuRules.php -> clean all parameters from the URL, correct ? If yes, so how to manage the case If I want pass some parameter ?
			Router.php

-> 3) Another point that I don't understand it's why the module menu generate a link with a paramter (?view=viewname) and not just a SEF URL ? This link is generated by Joomla, not the component for me
(I don't have and example of code because it's a question of how it works)

I give you the documentation links of the original topic:
https://docs.joomla.org/Part_1:_The_Site_code
https://docs.joomla.org/URLs_in_Joomla


Thanks in advance for your help

Do you have a [viewname].xml file in the tmpl folder of the view you wnat to make a menu for? Like this:

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
<metadata>
	<layout title="COM_MYWALKS_MYWALKS_VIEW_DEFAULT_TITLE" option="COM_MYWALKS_MYWALKS_VIEW_DEFAULT_OPTION">
		<help
			key="JHELP_MENUS_MENU_ITEM_MYWALKS"
		/>
		<message>
			<![CDATA[COM_MYWALKS_MYWALKS_VIEW_DEFAULT_DESC]]>
		</message>
	</layout>

	<!-- Add fields to the parameters object for the layout. -->
		<fields name="params">
		<fieldset name="request" label="COM_MENUS_BASIC_FIELDSET_LABEL">

		</fieldset>

		<!-- Add fields to the parameters object for the layout. -->

		<!-- Scroll. -->
		<fieldset name="basic">

		</fieldset>

		<!-- Advanced options. -->
		<fieldset name="advanced">

		</fieldset>
	</fields>
</metadata>
You should be able to create a menu item for your component in the normal way. Try it.

@ceford, thank you for you message.

Yes, I have a xml file in the tmpl folder.

My xml file named "default.xml".
URL = /alias-menu?view= viewname

Based on you answer I try to rename it "[viewname].xml" and save the menu to be sure to include the change.
New URL = /alias-menu?view= viewname&layout= viewname

And in all cases the Router.php is never called. (I don't see my "die('router');'")


For information, I have remake my default.xml and save again the menu, here is the code of the xml file :

Code: Select all

<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
<metadata>
	<layout title="COM_COMPONENTNAME_TITLE" option="View">
        <message>
                        <![CDATA[COM_COMPONENTNAME_DESC]]>
        </message>
	</layout>
    <fields name="params">
        <fieldset name="PARAMS" label="Categories">
            <field name="categories"
                   type="SQL"
                   class="inputbox"
                   label="Categories"
                   multiple="true"
                   size="15"
                   translate="true"
                   query="SELECT id, title FROM #__categories WHERE `extension` = 'com_content' AND `published` = 1 ORDER BY `lft` ASC"
                   key_field="id"
                   value_field="title"
                   description="Select one or more categories. Use Ctrl-click to select more than one item."
                   default="">
            </field>
        </fieldset>
    </fields>
</metadata>

So you should be able to create a menu item from the Menus: Items / New button - select your component. You should not need to create a URL type. But if you do, it should not include a space as you show here

Yes I'm able to create it from the backend by selecting my component.
Sorry for the space in my example, it's just a copy/paste mistake.

My problem is that the Joomla menu generate the URL with these parameters and I only want the default menu alias.

Actually Joomla generate : /alias-menu?view=viewname
I want that Joomla generate: /alias-menu

Yes I have a provider in administrator side (com_mycomponent/services/provider.php)
I have make some research on this and make different tests. It's possible that my URL problem provide from this.

I tried to register the router but error 500.
Do you have an idea what is wrong ?

Thanks in advance

provider.php

Code: Select all

<?php
// no direct access
defined('_JEXEC') or die;

use Joomla\CMS\Dispatcher\ComponentDispatcherFactoryInterface;
use Joomla\CMS\Extension\ComponentInterface;
use Joomla\CMS\Extension\MVCComponent;
use Joomla\CMS\Extension\Service\Provider\ComponentDispatcherFactory;
use Joomla\CMS\Extension\Service\Provider\MVCFactory;
use Joomla\CMS\MVC\Factory\MVCFactoryInterface;
use Joomla\DI\Container;
use Joomla\DI\ServiceProviderInterface;
use Joomla\CMS\Component\Router\RouterFactoryInterface;
use Joomla\CMS\Extension\Service\Provider\RouterFactory;

return new class implements ServiceProviderInterface
{

	public function register(Container $container)
	{

		$container->registerServiceProvider(new MVCFactory('\\Mycomponent\\Component\\Mycomponent'));
		$container->registerServiceProvider(new ComponentDispatcherFactory('\\Mycomponent\\Component\\Mycomponent'));
		//tried to register Router but Internal error 500
		//$container->registerServiceProvider(new RouterFactory('\\Mycomponent\\Component\\Mycomponent'));

		$container->set(
			ComponentInterface::class,
			function (Container $container)
			{
				$component = new MVCComponent($container->get(ComponentDispatcherFactoryInterface::class));
				$component->setMVCFactory($container->get(MVCFactoryInterface::class));
				//tried to register Router but Internal error 500
				//$component->setRouterFactory($container->get(RouterFactoryInterface::class));

				return $component;
			}
		);
	}
};

You need to post the exact error. Enable debug to get more information.

You need a stack trace for the 500 error - in Global Configuration set Debug System to Yes and Error Reporting to Maximum. Uncomment the commented line and go again.

Uncomment the commented line and go again => done.

Not sure why this ends up in a timeout but the error occurs because you're calling an undefined method. Joomla\CMS\Extension\MVCComponent doesn't have setRouterFactory() method.

Something is going around in circles, probably a redirect.

Do you have this code on a live site or on test site on localhost?

If the latter, do you know how to debugging? If not, see:

Yes you are right, the problem is that the method is undefined, thank you.
I have changed my research in this direction.

Thank you for the links. For debugging I using an IDE (PHPStorm) in combination with Codesniffer and the Joomla code style and Xdebug as proposed by pe7er on anothe topic on this forum (viewtopic.php?f=812&t=995556).
I'm in localhost for this project.

Solution found, thank you all for your help :)

I found that a new file (ComponentnameComponent.php) is require as I understand. I don't know is the "best pratice" for J4 but it's work.
To summerize all what I need to create a routing in J4 (with same behavior that J3) :


/com_componentname/src/Service/Router.php

Code: Select all

<?php
namespace Componentname\Component\Componentname\Site\Service;
defined('_JEXEC') or die;

use Joomla\CMS\Component\Router\RouterViewConfiguration;

use Joomla\CMS\Component\Router\Rules\MenuRules;
//use Joomla\CMS\Component\Router\Rules\NomenuRules;
use Componentname\Component\Componentname\Site\Service\ComponentnameNomenuRules as NomenuRules;

class Router extends RouterView
{
	protected $noIDs = false;

	private $categoryFactory;
	private $categoryCache = [];
	private $db;

	public function __construct(SiteApplication $app, AbstractMenu $menu, CategoryFactoryInterface $categoryFactory, DatabaseInterface $db)
	{
		$params = Factory::getApplication()->getParams('com_componentname');
		$this->noIDs = (bool) $params->get('sef_ids');
		$this->categoryFactory = $categoryFactory;
		$this->db = $db;

		$viewname = new RouterViewConfiguration('viewname');
		$this->registerView($viewname);

		parent::__construct($app, $menu);

		$this->attachRule(new MenuRules($this));
