Globalredirect

[paulkolbovich]

https://github.com/perusio/drupal-with-nginx/blob/master/sites-available/drupal.conf#L87 not working with globalredirect. Old variant rewrite ^/(.*)$ /index.php?q=$1 last; working great.

Hello Paul,

I've investigated the issue. And the problem seems to come from the deslash setting which is enabled by default.

Here's the commit with a discussion on that. I've created a tiny Drupal 6 module that fixes the issue if you prefer not to deal with the hassle of checking the settings form.

Try it out and please report back.

Thanks,
António

Hello perusio,

Thanks for answering to my previous issues. I noticed that Global Redirect (and coder review) 7.x counts on "custom_url_rewrite_outbound" which means drupal_spaces.conf to be used. Would be nice if you could revise "Configuration Selection Algorithm" accordingly.

[perusio]

Global Redirect doesn't use it. Just invokes the function if it exists. But that is incorrect custom_url_rewrite_outbound is a Drupal 6 only function. In Drupal 7 the corresponding function is now a hook: hook_url_outbound_alter. The issue with GlobalRedirect was on D6 and it's related to the handling of the trailing slash on URIs.

[perusio]

I think this is fixed. Re-open if issue resurfaces.

perusio, sorry for not updating you. You are right, global redirect looks for an abandoned function.

The code I mean is here,

// TODO: This looks wrong for D7... maybe a hook? if (function_exists('custom_url_rewrite_outbound')) { // Modules may alter outbound links by reference. custom_url_rewrite_outbound($alias, $options, $current_path); }

I am experiencing a strange infinite redirect problem when switching from one language to another when global redirect and local enabled. I thought this could be a problem with my nginx configuration. Anyway the site I develop will only have English for now. Thanks for your assistance.

[perusio]

I've reopened. Could be. Can you show me the logs? Preferably with the debug flag set.

Thanks,

[sivaji]

perusio, don't worry the infinite redirect happens in apache as well. This could be an issue with globalredirect module http://drupal.org/node/1145802

[perusio]

This is documented and the fix is easy. Just set:

drush vset deslash 0

when globalredirect is active.

Thanks perusio. The drush (or $conf) solution works. Apparently settings that variable manually can be done in language settings:
