Answered [SOLVED] Missing slash on VIEW resource link inside manager

Hi,
Using Revo 2.4.3pl on a personnal site i am currently editing/updating.

Once editing a resource inside the manager and using the VIEW menu to see/check the edited resource, i get www.example.comResourceName.html causing a browser error due to the missing /, instead of www.example.com/ResourceName.html
the other manager menu links such as Save, Close, ... work fine.

I have checked my htaccess, the system settings (identical to older sites i have running fine on prior versions of Revo), the friendly URLs which work fine too, etc

Any clue on what i should check/edit to fix this "bugging" (small) bug ?

Many thanks for yr help ! [ed. note: justinet last edited this post 9 years, 11 months ago.]

That's an odd one. It should use the same site_url used by links on the site, which you say are working. The relevant paths and URLs in core/config/config.inc.php should end with a trailing slash, but if they didn't, I'd expect to see other problems at the site. The same with .htaccess.

I'm not sure if it exists in that version, but if it does, try Manage -> Clear Cache -> Refresh URIs on the top menu.

Is the container_suffix System Setting a single slash?

Hi Bob,
Thanks a lot for looking into this.
This small bug is annoying, but no big deal as the site and all the menus are running OK

This is just at the manager level.
Yes i have cleared the cache and refresh urls a few times and confirming the content in system settings of the container_suffix is :" / " (i.e. a single slash)
Actually just the first slash is missing as : www.example.comResourceName.html (VIEW link in manager); with a container resource i have the second slash appearing, but not the first one e.g. www.example.comContainerResource/ResourceName.html

I thought there could be something wrong with the site url, but i havent seen any manual setting is system settings and again the whole site, besides this manager issue, is running OK ! weird or a stupid mistake from my side (i haven't been involved much with site devlpts lately ... and catching up)
Thanks again,


Just found out (i am using Babel for this multilingual site) it works OK for other languages i.e. translations e.g. www.example.com/2 letters language suffix/ResourceName.html
so perhaps an issue with the first (web) context setting ?? [ed. note: justinet last edited this post 9 years, 11 months ago.]

That sounds like a good bet. Make sure all the Context Setting URLs end with a slash, especially the site_url setting.

The site_url is created on-the-fly based on the URL the user comes in on, so there's no editable System Setting for it. You can see it, though with a tag in a resource:



It's also possible that a URL in the core/config/config.inc.php file doesn't end with a slash but Babel is correcting it, just not all the time.

Thanks Bob

Yes the enclosure of the tag [[!++site_url]] in a resource yields "http://www.example.com" i.e. without a slash at the end, which likely leads to that issue.

I have looked into the core/config/config.inc.php file and added a slash after the site url in a couple of lines (lines 62 and 65 i.e. when/in case the MODX_HTTP_HOST is not defined), cleared cache/refreshed urls but that didn't solve the pb.


In manage contexts and settings i just see the various language keys and web for the primary site language and default front end context, but do not see any context setting urls and especially any site_url setting ?

Hi Bob,
You are right, adding a slash in the multilingual context settings for the site_url solved the problem.

Access to the context settings is via a right click on each context (i had forgotten that !)

Many thanks again for your kind help on this despite my ignorance.
All the best

I'm glad I could help.
