Submission of comment results in 404 page when also using Kirby's re-routing of URL function

[liaprins]

This is unfortunately a breaking change that will result in my needing to switch to use Disqus instead, if a solution cannot be determined. :(

I am using the approach described by Kirby here to re-route my blog's home page URL from https://[mysite.com]/blog to just https://[mysite.com] (without the "/blog") needed in the URL: Routing | Omitting the blog folder in URLs

However, when I do that, every time I try to submit a comment (now testing live, not on localhost); it gives me a 404 page. The commenting works perfectly when I am not rerouting to remove the "/blog" from my URL.

I have been reading on Kirby and I found some guidance that may help; however I am not at all a master of PHP and have not figured out how to adapt it to my situation in a way that works: Routing | Actions ...I think the issue is with the submit button and its action attribute, possibly...that is why I am wondering if this documentation could help to solve this issue?

If you have any way to solve that, that would be amazing! I am certain many Kirby users are re-routing their URLs in this way, so a solution to this problem would be helpful to us all!

Or if I need to ask this in the Kirby forum instead, please let me know. Thanks for all your work on this plugin; I really hope to be able to use it!!!

There are different approaches for routing in Kirby. Could you please share the code you are using for the routing process?

Sure thing! In my site/config/config.php file I have added:

c::set('home','blog');

c::set('routes', array(
  array(
    'pattern' => '(:any)',
    'action'  => function($uid) {

      $page = page($uid);

      if(!$page) $page = page('blog/' . $uid);
      if(!$page) $page = site()->errorPage();

      return site()->visit($page);

    }
  ),
  array(
    'pattern' => 'blog/(:any)',
    'action'  => function($uid) {
      go($uid);
    }
  )
));

Let me know if you need anything else!

UPDATE: I have asked my question in the Kirby Forum and got a response that fixed my issue!

Great, thank you for sharing the fix! May I close this issue?

[liaprins]

Yes, definitely!
