JPagination and SEF

[Nick Weavers]

In my component am using a router to handle my sef url's and am having trouble with a paginated list generated by the component. JPagination (JRoute) is getting the SEF path segments out of order for the page links.

For the form tag containing the pagination I have the following: 

<form name="search_form" id="search_form" action='index.php?option=com_chimneypots&task=admin.showAgentsSellersProperties&Itemid=526' method="POST" >

I am also using a custom router that looks like this:

function chimneypotsBuildRoute(&$query) {

$segments = array();

// we use sub controllers extensively in com_chimneypots so no need to check for controller,

//it will be part of the task string. Put the task string first

$i = 2;

foreach ($query as $param => $value ) {

if ($param == 'option' ) {

list($tmp, $component_name) = explode('_',$query['option']);

$segments[0] = $component_name;

unset ($query['option']);

} elseif ($param == 'task' ) {

$segments[1] = $query['task'];

unset ($query['task']);

} else {

$segments[$i] = "{$param},{$value}";

$i++;

unset ($query[$param]);

}

}

  return $segments;

}

function chimneypotsParseRoute($segments) {

    $query = array();

    // The first segment should be the task, the rest we'll decode

    $query['task'] = $segments[0];

    unset($segments[0]);

    $num_segments = count($segments);

    for ($i=1; $i <= $num_segments; $i++) {

list($parm, $value) = explode(',', $segments[$i]);

$query[$parm] = $value;

    }

    for ($i=1; $i <= $num_segments; $i++) {

    unset($segments[$i]);

    }

    return $query;

}

The problem I am having is that when pagination->getListFooter() is run at the bottom of my form, it doesn't appear to be calling my router which would get the segments in the correct order. Instead it generates the path:

"/index.php/component/chimneypots/Itemid,526/adminAgentSeller.showAgentSellersProperties".

I can see the incorrect path being generated at the point show in the call stack

Just after executing line 649 I can see the "out or order" sef link in $data->all->link:

In the generated link "/index.php/component/chimneypots/Itemid,526/adminAgentSeller.showAgentSellersProperties", the segment "Itemid,526" should come after "adminAgentSeller.showAgentSellersProperties".

Should JRoute be calling chimneypotsBuildRoute to build the URL or am I doing something wrong?

TIA,

Nick

Sorry, my mistake, it appears my router was getting called but I needed a ksort on the segment array in chimneypotsBuildRoute before returning it. (Don't know why I just assumed it would be sorted on its indices.. )
