Layered Navigation - Url Link

[mackna]

Hello.

 

I have a problem with layered navigation i think, if i choice some features i regenerates a url link. But when i copy/past the same link i disappears.

 

Example.

 

http://www.skinlife.se/3-ansiktsvard#/kon-man/produkt-ansiktsvatten redirects to

 

---> http://www.skinlife.se/3-ansiktsvard#/

 

Is this a common problem our do i have bad settings?

I think it's a common problem...

 

At least, for me too...

[mackna]

Its really annoying...

 

There must be a fix for this issue, it would be a really good feature to embed for prestashop otherwise.

I agree.

Actually it works sometimes on some links... but i can't figure out a pattern )

[mackna]

Really, can u give me an example? Maybe we can figure this out together

Same problem. Is there any solution?

Solution here:

 

https://github.com/p...6a0d70ae0231ef1

 

But I couldn't understand when param_product_url is get a value different from hash? Can someone show me that?

This github code didn't seem to solve anything. mackna or doubleD, did either of you have any luck squashing this bug?

Hi Everyone,

 

Thanks for any insight into this problem, as I'm just trying to scope it out in order to understand if it is even something that can be fixed.

 

When I am in my shop, I can filter by categories and features. It works like a beauty. If I filter by a category, the URL that is produced looks like this:

 

localhost:8888/50-shop#/categories-category_name

 

I can copy this link, paste it into a new browser window, and the page loads with the selected filters enabled and products filtered appropriately.

 

 

The issue I have is when I filter by features.

 

If I filter by a feature, the URL that is produced looks like this:

 

localhost:8888/50-shop#/feature_name-feature_value

 

If I copy and paste this link into a new browser window, the url redirects to:

 

localhost:8888/50-shop#/

 

The selected filters are removed, or rather, never appear.

 

I have been searching high and low for a solution to this. I think that a lot of people are having the same issue, but I'm not sure, because I don't always understand the problem that people are describing. In any case, does anyone know if there is a solution to this?

 

Is this a bug, or is the functionality that I'm expecting just not something that is built into Prestashop? Does anyone have any leads on how this problem can be solved?

 

Thanks for any thoughts. I will try to pay them forward.

Just wanted to give some feedback on this in case anyone else has the same problems that I was having. See the problem, as described above - when I had features in my layered nav links/urls, they would disappear if I copy and pasted the links.

 

I searched everywhere for a solution to this, finally hired someone to customize the layered nav module for me, only to find out that the default 1.5.4 module works fine as it is. You just need to make sure that in your module settings, you reindex all products after adding new features. If you do that, everything works like a charm.

[adamuss]

Same problem but I think I have more details, maybe it will help to find solution.

 

It's important that my shop is non-english (polish): sklepdlaciebie.pl, layered navigation works but links are not working and, in my opinion, problem is with "translations".

 

Few examples

• filter: price (http://sklepdlaciebie.pl/104-noze-kuchenne.html#/price-65-157) - filter name in url (price) is not translated and link to page with results works
  
• filter: categories (http://sklepdlaciebie.pl/93-porcelana.html#/kategorie-serwisy_obiadowe) - filter name is translated (kategorie = categories) but link to page with result is not working - redirects to category page http://sklepdlaciebi...orcelana.html#/
  
• if I manually change filter name to non-translated: http://sklepdlaciebie.pl/93-porcelana.html#/categories-serwisy_obiadowe it almost works! filtered category is applied and selected but after page loads url is changed to translated version
  
• filter: manufacturer (http://sklepdlaciebie.pl/92-sztucce.html#/producent-gerlach) - translated not working, if I change producent to manufacturer http://sklepdlaciebie.pl/92-sztucce.html#/manufacturer-gerlach it works but after page loads it's translated again
  

So, where translation is applied to filters? I'd like to disable it and check, but can't find.

adamuss > i didn't know there were super-hero in Poland so far... and then i read your post and it made my day

I 've been searching for a solution to "keep" manufacturer filter in url for hours.

Thanks to you i now know that you need to keep "manufacturer" instead of "fabricant" (french word for "manufacturer")

 

thanks a million man

I've solved the problem thanks to threeopus3.

The configuration of the module Layered Navigation allows to reindex the urls. And it worked for me.

Maybe, we could put the topic as resolved, no ?

[FredCD]

Before we close this topic, let's be sure reindixing is the key solution.

Does it work with very kind of attributes and values (colors, custom attributes...) ?

Does it work on a "non-english" shop ?

[Firestarter]

It worked for me for Characteristics, on a french shop.

[infinityl]

Dont work for me. Spanish Shop. 1.5.4.1

 

Filters put # in url and dont work

If I manually remove the # from url it works and send me to another url (for example: http://www.myshop.com/8-camisetas/talla-2xl (talla-2xl filter) send me to: http://www.myshop.com/8-camisetas?selected_filters=talla-2xl 

 

And sometimes i clic the filters but it dont update url or anything...

Thanks Threeopus3,

Same here...

How does it work ? 

Even on the demo PS site: http://fo.demo.prestashop.com/en/3-women , when you select any option from the layered nav on the left, you get a url with a #

[fransjaeger]

Hi, Im looking for this too. Been trying everything, but nothing have worked so far

[Kaffeemogul]

Worked in a german shop with reindicating the URL-Index!!!

 

www.kaffeemogul.de 

[markof]

Go to config module Layered navigation block reindex URL Indexes.

[aleksey_bober]

The same issue I had with russian localization. There I had parameters kategorii and brend instead of categories and manufacturer in the URL. So preseletion also didn't work for me. That's because blocklayered-ajax.php expect categories and manufacturer parameters. I didn't find where it could be changed. If anybody knows, please tell.

 

I created a little hack. I replace parameters in javascript code each time before module performs request to the server.

 

In

/your-theme/js/modules/blocklayered/blocklayered.js

 

find following code:

var params = window.location.href.split('#')[1];
reloadContent('&selected_filters='+params);

 

and update to:

var params = window.location.href.split('#')[1];
   if (params) {
       params = params
                .replace(/kategorii/i, 'categories')
                .replace(/brend/i, 'manufacturer');
   }
reloadContent('&selected_filters='+params);

 

IMPORTANT: instead of kategorii and brend you need to put parameters used in your locale.

Reindexing by the layered navigation module worked pretty fine for me.

Thanks a lot. It's been thouhg untill I've decided to search in this forum.

[oliiix]

The hash (#) thing is normal and shouldn't be the problem. It was working for me (english) but the hash-sign was still in the url, so that shouldn't be the problem

[Tomasci]

This problem is still there in PrestaShop 1.6.7.

 

Re-indexing URL's does not help. The shop is in Dutch language, and will also be in French language soon.

How to get this to work with translated strings?

 

Anyone got this to work in PrestaShop without having English or French language installed?

[sottolinea]

Same problem here with an italian shop with 1.6.9

Solved with aleksey_bober solution.

Had to put the code in two different place in the same js, in functions getUrlParams and initLayered but now it works.

Not a good thing, hope in ps1.7 it will work!

[rfourt]

Ok.

I have some tips for some people not getting this to work.

Step 1.
Go into your attributes and see that the attribute value have the same URL in each language you are using. Pref. English.
IMPORTANT PS: Make sure none of the URLs have spaces or dashes in them.  For example dont make the url look like this:
URL ex: "large XL"
Instead make them look like this:
largexl

This is only needed if you want to filter the values and perhaps make a own link to the values. for example:

http://yourdomain//t-shirt#/size-smalm-largel-largexl

 

If you add a space or a dash it will look like this "/size-smal-l-large-l-large-xl"  and, well you can see the problem.

I have tested this out and sometimes presta will add a underscore instead but it dosnt work with more than one language in your shop.

Step 2.
​Go into Blocklayered Navigation (filter) module and Press the "indexing" buttons at the top.

 

Step3.
Ad the CRON JOBs in your cpanel/hosting.

Hello, 

I have the same problème my shop was in frensh and block layered is working but when i do use the filters and change the language, the language is changed but it goes back to the caategory page without any filters in the URLs

please help!

[inkout]

Good morning,
i have the same problem:

With filter with chars " / or - " i lost the filter when i copied in new tab.

Version 1.6.1.4

Can you help me?
Thx

[HiCharly]

Hello

I had the same problem with the manufacturer filter and a French shop.

It was a translation issue. The indexer use $this->translateWord('Manufacturer') to build the ps_layered_friendly_url cache , while the renderer use $this->l('Manufacturer').

Both results are not the same : Fabricant / Marque

 

To solve : find the blocklayered.php getFilterBlock function and replace

$this->l('Manufacturer')

 by 

$this->translateWord('Manufacturer', $id_lang)

 

I hope this helps someone who is still using this old version of the module.
