Pagination with SH404SEF not working

Hello everybody

I have been experiencing pagination problems for a few days, the link to the pages is normally displayed but no page changes, in all categories and in all languages.
I guess it's a configuration problem but I can not find it.
Do you have any idea where I need to set up again?

I am under Joomla 3.8.3 and PHP 7.0.26
Flexicontent 3.2.1.7
sh404SEF 4.13.1.3756

To test, just click a link from the menu and try to change at the bottom of the page.

at first try to disable sh404sef and test with basic sef

Hello

By disabling sh404SEF or asking it to use the Joomla router, the pagination works but no more internal link of my pages, so eventually it solves a problem to create a new one.

Why did it work before and no longer?
Because the site is multilingual?
Should we completely uninstall sh404SEF and reinstall it?

Have a good day.
Francis

its can be a bug in s404sef plugin ...
=> can you post a complet step by step action to reproduce the problem ?
regards

I have also opened a ticker at s404sef

Here is the procedure to follow for the error, which I specify happens everywhere where a pagination is necessary

Go to the home page www.milouchouchou.com/
On the menu, click on "Les standards en français", if you are on the English version "The standards in English"
Go down at the end of the page and click on the button to page 2, no page changes, we stay with the first 20 articles.

Hello

The problem is that we have not tested with the latest release of SH404SEF

our SH404SEF plugin may need updating

Hello

Francis

Hello
Here is the answer from sh404SEF, I made the change and everything is back to normal.

Thanks for your help.

I have done as I said, downloaded a copy of the site and debugged locally. As expected, this is a problem in FlexiContent, which comes from assuming the Joomla SEF pagination format ie /xxxx?start=20 or /xxxx?start=40.
They cannot handle something like /xxxxx/page-2.

The bug was hidden by older versions of sh404SEF, as we had made a workaround for those extensions. In last version, we remove the workaround as we thought all extensions should have been fixed by now, but apparently even large extensions such as Flexi have not yet started to use the correct Joomla API.

Here are the details:

In the file /components/com_flexicontent/controller.php, at line 1151, there is this code:

// Add any existing URL variables (=submitted via GET), ... we only need variable names, (values are ignored)
foreach($_GET as $_varname => $_ignore) $safeurlparams[$_varname] = 'STRING';



A short-term fix can be:

// Add any existing URL variables (=submitted via GET), ... we only need variable names, (values are ignored)
// foreach($_GET as $_varname => $_ignore) $safeurlparams[$_varname] = 'STRING';
$getVars = $this->input->getArray();
foreach($getVars as $_varname => $_ignore) $safeurlparams[$_varname] = 'STRING';



After making that change, and purging again the Joomla cache, things starts working again normally.

I would suggest you report this to the FlexiContent team and suggest this change, or maybe they can workout something else as needed.
