categories printing with double /

Question

I am attempting to implement the following code in my qa-config file in order to get the questions list to display on my home page

$QA_CONST_PATH_MAP=array(

  'questions' => '',

);

 

I am for some reason getting category links which include a //

Any workarounds?

I am also noticing that each time I navigate to a category page and then back to the home page and then to a category page again it adds an additional /.  Looks like a bug.  Any suggestions?  Thanks.

Answer 1

Anyone fix this bug ???

Comments

I will look into it for the next maintenance release. There is a general bug at the moment in modifying the home page to show a list of questions, activity, etc..., when there are also categories defined on the site.

Answer 2

Was this problem solved with the latest version of q2a?

I just noticed I have this problem as well.

It happened after adding top level categories with subs. Before that everything was fine.

Any easy fix?

Tried htaccess but that didn't work for me.

Answer 3

This should be fixed by 1.5.2.

I've updated and the double forward slashes were gone.

However, instead, I got the word 'activity' in the URL when I tried to access a category from the all activity page.

So, prior updating it was like:

domain.com//politics

then after update it got:

domain.com/activity/politics

(which is exactly the same page as: domain.com/politics...)

So I reversed the update.

Instead, I added this line to function qa_path(...) in qa-base.php:

$url = str_replace('//','/',$url);

(just before the return statement)

Now everything is fine! :-)
