[Bug 1933944] [NEW] CleanURLs don't stay in the Browser bar and instead fall back

 

Public bug reported:

We have set

Clean URL settings
$cfg->cleanurluserdefault:	u
$cfg->cleanurlgroupdefault:	g
$cfg->cleanurlviewdefault:	p
$cfg->cleanurlcharset:	ASCII
$cfg->cleanurlinvalidcharacters:	/[^a-zA-Z0-9]+/
$cfg->cleanurlvalidate:	/^[a-z0-9-]*$/


and domain.name/u/userdisplayname falls back to its complicated old URL again and again and makes it very difficult to users to simply add a user created page to get direct to the page.

i.e. domain.name/u/userdisplayname/resume

instead again they have top eneterthat unrememberable difficult URL with
question marks.

the .htaccess looks like

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
	RewriteEngine on
     
    # if redirected to url cleaner, redirect to actual lookup file and
	# these lines will keep the clean url visible in the browser
	RewriteRule ^u/([a-z0-9-]+)/?$ https://montessori.contact/user/view.php?profile=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
	RewriteRule ^u/([a-z0-9-]+)/([a-z0-9-]+)/?$ https://montessori.contact/view/view.php?profile=$1&page=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
	RewriteRule ^g/([a-z0-9-]+)/?$ https://montessori.contact/group/view.php?homepage=$1&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
	RewriteRule ^g/([a-z0-9-]+)/([a-z0-9-]+)/?$ https://montessori.contact/view/view.php?homepage=$1&page=$2&%{QUERY_STRING} [L]
    
    RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,}\s([^.]+)\.php [NC]
	RewriteRule ^ %1 [R,L]
           	
    # do not do anything if already existing file, symbolic link or directory   
	RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
	RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
	RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.php [L] 

 </IfModule>
