embedUri + G2 rewrite module

I'm using G2 CVS current version.

It seems that a request string in $embedUri of the form ?param=value does not get appended to G2 URLs if the G2 rewrite module is activated.

As an example, I use GalleryEmbed's Init(..) with

$embedUri = '?module=gallery2'

and after calling HandleRequest(..), I get G2 URLs of the form http://www.example.com/pmwiki/v/album/ . What I would need is http://www.example.com/pmwiki/v/album/?module=gallery2.

Is there a way to enable that?

Thanks for any hints,

The .htaccess method is OK for static rewriting, e.g. always append ?module=gallery2 to the URL. The problem is that my application dynamically generates query string parameters (like e.g. ?action=insertimage) that should be appended to all G2 links.

IMHO, query strings in EmbedUri should be appended to G2 URLs (as it happens if G2 rewrite is deactivated) also if G2 rewrite is active.

You're right, one parameter is enough to map to the g2 plugin. But as you mention

the rest of the GET action can only be made if the GET params still exist in the URL (this would not be a problem for POST actions).

Imagine the following situation:
I call the G2 plugin with the URL http://www.example.com/pmwiki/g2page?module=g2&action=insertimage

The param action=insertimage tells the CMS to include a special link in the CMS page that shows embedded G2. Now if G2 rewrite is active, the action=insertimage param does not get appended to G2 URLs, and so if I click on an album link, the special link cannot be included anymore by the CMS.

Yes, the problem are additional params, I see now that my first post was a bit misleading :-?

I'm integrating G2 into PmWiki. Embedding a gallery view into a wiki page is simply made by writing something like (:g2 in the wiki page. The G2 embedding code is triggered as soon the wiki parser sees the syntax (:g2. This is why I don't use "?module=gallery2" at all, but would like to pass additional URL GET parameters to G2.

As already mentioned, this works if G2 rewrite is deactivated (GET params in $EmbedUri get appended to G2 links).

have a look at

http://www.schlatter.net/pmwikitest/pmwiki.php?n=Main.Image

If you look at the image links, there is always a "pref=Main.Image" request string. This is used to generate the back link on the gallery page. This link exists as long as the mentioned pref parameter is in the URL, so that one can navigate in the gallery without loosing the back link.

If I activate G2 rewrite, the "pref=Main.Image" param does not get appended any more.

hmm, I did that, but I'm quite surprised, since I always tested it as anonymous user. In fact, I haven't implemented yet user management G2<->PmWiki at all ... Is this because I had still a cookie from a G2 standalone session?

I set it via $EmbedUri, e.g.

$EmbedUri = 'pmwiki.php?pref=Main.Image'

When I enable PmWiki rewrite, this gets to

$EmbedUri = '?pref=Main.Image'

Unfortunately, this doesn't work. The 'embedSessionString' only gets appended if in "cookie-less" mode. From GalleryUrlGenerator.class:

if ( (!isset($forceSessionId) && !($session->isUsingCookies())) ||
     (isset($forceSessionId) && $forceSessionId === true)) {
    if (!empty($this->_embedSessionString)) {
        $sessionString = $this->_embedSessionString;
    } else {
        $params[$session->getKey()] = $session->getId();
    }
}
...
if (isset($sessionString)) {
   $url .= ((strpos($url, '?') === false) ? '?' : '&') . $sessionString;
}

$EmbedUri = '?pref=Main.Image' works well as long as G2's rewrite module is not activated (I use it like this).

After enabling URL rewrite in PmWiki, the URLs of the form http://www.example.com/pmwiki.php?n=Group/Page get to http://www.example.com/Group/Page. And so the string directly after the host/path/ is empty (except any query strings).

IMHO, all query parameters in $EmbedUri should be appended to G2 URLs like with embedSessionString. This would also be consistent with the G2 embed docu:
