Possible Routing Bug Error

#1

When it worked: Prior to using routings, my navbar was fully functioning.
I was able to navigate with ease between pages.

Next, I created routings and associated them with my navbar. When I tested some links worked (index.php and about.php) while all the others did not. I checked everything with no success.

When the issue arose: After I deleted all of the routings.

I returned all of my links to the original configuration. When I tested, (browsed in my localhost) the pages called were not being displayed. I noticed that the path to the pages was displaying incorrectly. In addition, when I checked the about.php for debugging the code disappeared. It made no sense. All that was left were the META tags. Scared to say the least. Sidebar: I was able to reconstruct from my published copy. I moved all of the pages to the root path and tried from there. No success. I have screenshot everything that is relevant. One thing I draw your attention to is the browser address bar. You can see a doubling up of the folder. Note: Routing was turned off in the settings and the Base was removed from the code. I searched high and low on where to find the doubling of the path. I can’t find it. Also, there are breadcrumbs in the address bar from when I did the routing. They continue to haunt.

Hopefully, someone can point me where to look for a solution to get my Navbar to work again. I have done SPA and routing successfully before. I suspect that there is file holding the remnants that needs to cleaned out.

I look forwards to any guidance. Here are the screen shots:

What the browser is displaying: (Note: the address bar. The path being displayed is from the original router creation. Compared that to the Navbar code. They are not the same.) Where is it pulling this link?

Thank you all for helping me solve this problem. Been working hours on trying to figure this out.

Footnote: I am on the most recent O/S on Mac and using version 2.8.1 of Wappler.

You may have to remove all the routes from the .htaccess file?

#3

Where would I find that file?

#4

Right Click on your root directory in the files panel and select ‘show hidden’.

Thanks, Brad. I learned something new. Nothing in the .htaccess file.

Hi Ben,

Note: I deleted all routings from the Routing Panel. I also switched off Routings and Base from settings. I have no JSON folder. My htaccess file is empty (see above screenshot). I looked in every hidden folder and every hidden file and could not find this legacy script from routings. I just don’t where I can find it.

As I type I have been trying to reconstruct my pages but it appears they lost all styling. It’s a mess. All this occurred after I deleted the routings from the routing panel.

Here is what shows in my address bar:

http://localhost:8100/Pages/Pages/Home/Pricing.php

Notice the extra “/Pages/” that are added. Going crazy here. LOL

As I explained in the video, the two hidden files should not be touched, the are automatically populated by Wappler.

Without seeing your code, I do not know how to help you. If you have a multiple page site, have a look at

I totally agree. I did not delete them. Wappler did when I delete the routings from the routing panel. I think it is a bug. I don’t know.

I should note that I have done multiple routings without any issue but it is the first time that I deleted it, from the routing panel using the delete icon.

#10

No, that is not a bug, Wappler notices that they are no longer needed because there are no routes.

Have a look at Teodor’s tutorial and start the routes again.

#11

I reviewed the tutorial, Ben. It’s still pulling up the initial routing names that I created and not the new ones. It’s pulling them from somewhere, I just don’t know where.

Nor can I just create direct links to the page I want to call. It keeps adding another folder as a prefix in the address bar.

#12

Can you make a zip file of the whole site, including the hidden files and folders and email the zip file to ben-at-pleysier-dot-com-dot-au. I will have a look for you.

#13

Thank you, Ben. I really appreciate that. I’ll have it over to you shortly.

correct

Ben, it’s a 28Mb file that doesn’t want to be sent to your address. LOL Do you have Dropbox? Otherwise I’ll put on my server for you to download. My email address is Bruce@TheSchuellers.us if you want to email me.

I just tried sending to your email ben-at-pleysier.com.au it won’t send. UGH I am truly having a bad day.

Ben, can you send me an email so that can reply to it? Bruce@TheSchuellers.us

#17

Hi Ben, Just checking if you received the zip I sent you as a reply to your email.

#18

yes, received it about 8 hours ago which was during my usual nightly nap. Will get back to you.

Hi Bruce, sorry for the delay, finally got to go to your priority.

First, do a little bit of housekeeping so that you have a better oversight and then add the stylesheet as shown

Then re-do the routing and the hidden files will take care of temselves.

If it still does not work, please come back.

Ben

Edit: Looks great!

Hi Ben,

Thank you for the suggestion. In the meantime I have done some housekeeping myself.

  1. You need to remove the meta tag for routing on each page: (Wappler does not remove it when you delete a routing).

  2. You need to remove the base tag for routing on each page: (Wappler does not remove it when you delete a routing). This culprit screwed up the redirect in the address bar.

After I did this the pages starting working again. The scrambled about.php page returned to normal.

After doing all this I decided to rebuild the header from scratch. I created an untitled.php, rebuilt the header and performed a “Move Content” -> “Include Page” and saved the include into my Include folder. At this point I deleted the untitled.php. MISTAKE. You can’t delete the file from which you created the include. If you do you’ll just get a white screen in WAPPLER display but the code is all there and functions well. Nothing like working in the dark. LOL Live and learn. I thought I would pass that along to you.

Note: I am experiencing a problem with the navbar and will start another thread for that issue. When the navbar minimizes, to say iPhone, it appears in the background and therefore you can’t make a selection. It’s a first for me. LOL

Thank you very much for your help Ben!
