I am noticing a pattern with the links in my G2 - if a link has a "g2_return" in it, then I have to remove it in the address bar or I won't get off the current page until I do. Example: If I click the link directly, the URL is updated but I never leave the current page. If I remove the big g2_return string at the end, then it works just fine. Is there a particular reason for this? I'm using the SMF integration (that I'm working on)... What exactly is this and how do I prevent it from showing up? |

I am in the wedding industry. I can use advice on changing the format for photos and wedding albums. A Jpeg won't go in my album. How do I change the picture to anothr format to place it in my album?

Are you behind a firewall or anything that does URL Normalization (double encoded urls)? I've seen some issues before with M$'s ISA Server with that option turned on the web filter.

What does this have to do with his problem? If you have an issue please start another thread.

I am behind a firewall, but I wouldn't think that would have anything to do with it. It's weird - anytime it's got "g2_return" in the URL, it won't work, but as soon as I remove that from the URL, it works fine. I am thinking maybe it has something to do with the integration...

Any updates on this issue? I recently switched hosts and am now on php 4.4.0, but am still having the same problem. Any link that has "g2_return" in the URL won't work.

well, we have seen this issue only for certain integrations (mambo until now, smf too?) and only for certain users of this integrations.
it must have something to do with double urlencoding / decoding since when G2 is given the control, it already receives the wrong GET arguments, the error happened before.
you have to find out whether the GET arguments are already corrupted when your CMS / forum starts (in your index.php right at the beginning).

It seems that I'm not having this problem anymore. As soon as I added integrated session IDs to the setup, the problem stopped... Not sure why though.

as far as i can remember, we had the same issue in g2 standalone too. (return url issues)
it was solved by putting the return url always at the end of the complete URL string.
so if your change implies the same transformation, that could be the "reason".

No, that change doesn't actually do anything to the URL. It seems those URLs only work if there's not already a "g2_return" string in the URL. What do I need to do to fix this issue?

what issue?
two g2_return GET args in a single URL? don't think that exists.
and generally, g2_return is required. you can't just leave this away.

The issue is, if I click on a URL that has a "g2_return" string in it, it won't work if the URL of the current page already has a g2_return string in it. The URL gets updated, but the content stays the same. You said you thought the issue was fixed by moving the g2_return string to the end of the URL, so I was asking how I could do that.

could you describe an example?
e.g. by saying which links to click to get this situation etc.
or by pasting all involved urls...

Examples:
Go to the main embedded gallery.
Click on "Edit Album" (url: http://smf.oldiesmann.us/galleryproject/index.php?action=gallery&g2_view=core.ItemAdmin&g2_subView=core.ItemEdit&g2_itemId=7&g2_return=http%3A%2F%2Fsmf.oldiesmann.us%2Fgalleryproject%2Findex.php%3Faction%3Dgallery%26g2_view%3Dcore.ShowItem%26g2_itemId%3D7&g2_returnName=album )
Click on "Site Admin" (url: http://smf.oldiesmann.us/galleryproject/index.php?action=gallery&g2_view=core.SiteAdmin&g2_return=http%3A%2F%2Fsmf.oldiesmann.us%2Fgalleryproject%2Findex.php%3Faction%3Dgallery%26g2_view%3Dcore.ItemAdmin%26g2_subView%3Dcore.ItemEdit%26g2_itemId%3D7&g2_returnName=edit+album&g2_navId=x299bbc68 )
The URL gets updated, but the page stays on the "Edit Album" area.

g2_return URLs usually do a HTTP redirect.
this doesn't work in an embedded G2 if you start outputting HTML / data before you call GalleryEmbed::handleRequest().

Hate to bump an old topic again, but it's still not working in G2 2.2 RC1...
From the main embedded gallery, I click on "Edit Album" (correct page loads and "Back to Album" is added in the sidebar)
I then click on "Site Admin" (page reloads with correct URL; "Back to Edit Album" added to sidebar; everything else is the same as previously (page title, interface, etc.)).
No data or HTML is output prior to calling HandleRequest.
