Login form creating Google crawl error

[Ruud68]

Hi,
been investigating some Google crawl errors and ran into one created on all pages where the login module is active and where the base url + first direcotry is not working.
When I am e.g. on this page: https://www.lerendeleiders.nl/blog-layout/63-Ruud
it will put this code in the resulting html file:

<div class="overflow">
                                                    <form action="https://www.lerendeleiders.nl/blog-layout" method="post" id="login-form" class="form-inline">
        <div class="userdata">

the culprit is in the url specified in the form action. As you can see it is truncated to the first directory only. the url specified here throws a 403 thus resulting in a crawl error for Google.

This is impacting our Google Ranking as Google wants me to solve these errors which I can't :(

Steps to reproduce the issue

goto url https://www.lerendeleiders.nl/user-profile-layout/63-Ruud
form action = url that is not working

Expected result

form action = url that is working

Actual result

specified above

When using the core login module, the core helper code picks the url from the menu. If the page displayed can't be fetched through a direct menu item (including a submenu) then it the mother menu url which is displayed.
If the login is a menu item and not a module, no issue

hi, thanks @infograf768 for looking into this
2 questions:

1. Why is the mother url displayed and not the full url?
2. what is this url used for?

I think that we could work with the current URL here as the action parameter. Let me do this change, will provide a PR for it.

Hi @Kubik-Rubik Thanks for looking into this, this was just an example but I have more of these menu items that are a place holder and need a parameter to work correctly. So this impacts my SEO 'heavily' in a bad way, a fix would make Google and me very happy :)
If you need testing, please let me know!
thanks!
Ruud.
