URL includes controller=search despite friendly url, PS 1.6.1.13

[Scully]

Despite the fact we have friendly urls turned on, our serch URLs look like this:

https://elektro100.ch/suche?controller=search&orderby=position&orderway=desc&search_query=test3

instead of

https://elektro100.ch/suche?orderby=position&orderway=desc&search_query=test3

Anyone has solved to get rid of the controller=search within the URI?

It seems to be default behaviour even if we do a scratch install with the latest available 1.6. version.

 

Thank you and regards, Scully

hi,

try to turn off your url rewrite and back on to reload your .htaccess

[Scully]

Thank you for your reply.

 

I already tried that but with no effect. I also checked that the .htaccess was newly written.

 

I also tried to debug classes/Link.php

 

When I echo the result as html comment before return in  public function getPageLink I get the correct result.fron

Surprisingly the link in the front end is then ok.

 

As soon as I get rid of the debug echo, the link is wrong again.

Any more suggestions?

I also check a demo install like this one:

 

https://demo16.prestaservice.org/

 

Same situation there. Friendly URL is running on that site and works with the expection of the search controller.

hours later ....

 

I figured out that changing the blocksearch-top.tpl helped. So at the end I remove the hidden field controller with its content search.

{*  Remove this comment if User Friendly URL is not enabled
<input type="hidden" name="controller" value="search" />

Any better way is welcome to see.
