Strip ccm_paging_p from getLinkToCollection
Permalink
Hi all
I'm using matogertel's Tag Cloud addon (from within Search Tools), but I think the API calls are universal to C5. The addon creates tag URLs using the current page's location, but when the user has clicked onto a secondary page using a pagelist, they get a URL like this:
Note the ccm_paging_p_b496=4. This is only appended to the URL when the user is on a numbered pagelist page other than the first one (i.e. has clicked Prev/Next or one of the numbers at the bottom).
My issue is that this breaks the tag links. They work fine when the ccm_paging_p### variable isn't in the address, but when it's there that variable gets passed on and breaks the search results page list. This is what a broken link looks like:
http://www.website.com/a-page/?&ccm_paging_p_b496=4&cloudID...
(note the ccm_paging_p## var comes first in these generated URLs)
Basically, what I need to do is strip it from the links which are generated in the tag cloud.
I think the piece of code which generates the link is this (from its controller.php):
and the offending line is
$path = $nh->getLinkToCollection($sc);
Is this a case of using regular expressions, or is there a better way to do it? I need to retain the two other variables which are passed (cloudID and tag).
Anyone have any thoughts? Any help much appreciated!
