I'm trying to upgrade quite a large site from 2.2 to 2.3 , but it seems some changes have been made to the way Silverstripe handles URLS.

For SEO purposes , we fake URL nesting by putting keywords and categories in the URL for specific pages , e.g. ;

www.blabla.com/details/category1/category2/category3/category4?actual_id=92932

Silverstripe 2.2. just ignored the category1/category2/category3/category4 bit , and called the page with URL segment /details .. I could then take the "actual_id" value from the $_REQUEST array and fill the template with data accordingly.

This worked pretty well for us , but Silverstripe 2.3 refuses to play nice. It throws a :

" I can't handle sub-URLs of a xxxx object" error.

I cannot figure out how to get the site going while keeping the same URL layout.

Help ! ;-)

Update :

Did some diggin' , and the new

RequestHandler is the culprit...

More specific , the function handleRequest($request) , throws the error.....

Seems like it needs a little core-hack ....

Okay...

To Force Silverstripe to ignore the rest of the URL, I ended up hacking the core.

in /sapphire/core/control/requesthandler.php

In the function HandleRequest() , I changed

// But if we have more content on the URL and we don't know what to do with it, return an error.
					} else {
						return $this->httpError(400, "I can't handle sub-URLs of a $this->class object.");
					}

in to

// But if we have more content on the URL and we don't know what to do with it, return an error.
					} else {
						return $result;
					}

I've the same error.

"I can't handle sub-URLs of a CMSMain object."

Is your hack ss safe?

Works for me .... It still discards the rest of the URL , but instead of throwing an error , it returns the needed result ...
I can't think of a serious security problem that might arise because of the change ...

I've the problem with this:

$imagetable = new ComplexTableField(
$this,
'ImageAttachments', // relation name
'ImageAttachment', // object class
ImageAttachment::$field_names, // fields to show in table
ImageAttachment::getCMSFields_forPopup(), // form that pops up for edit
"ProductID = {$this->ID}", // a filter to only display item associated with this page
"Name ASC" // Sort by name
);

When I click on "Add Image" ( see this old post: http://www.silverstripe.org/archive/show/212710#post212710 )

I don't know to resolve.

Thanks

That is a totally different situation than mine ..... I tried to manually add stuff to the URL and needed to prevent Silverstripe from throwing an error....

The error you are getting seems like a real one .... ;) When handling "many" relationships , I advise using UncleCheeses DOM module.

How?
