Category URLs Containing ?___SID=U

[sprankhub]

The category URLs may contain a ?___SID=U part. It is a bit weird since it is not really shown, but if you do a bin2hex($url), you see 3f5f5f5f5349443d55 at the end, which is exactly the ?___SID=U part. In order to get rid of it, I think we should process the session IDs. So in TheExtensionLab_MegaMenu_Helper_Category_Url#L16 instead of:

return Mage::getUrl($category->getMenuLink());

we should do a:

$url = Mage::getUrl($category->getMenuLink());
$url = Mage::getModel('core/url')->sessionUrlVar($url);
return $url;

This may be needed in other places as well, but for me, this did the trick. Could you please check? Thanks!

Hello Simon, Thanks for the suggestion, I have seen this only a couple of times - seems to be rare and difficult to re-produce. If i'm honest I didn't understand why it happens.

Do you know a way I can re-produce it everytime? So that when I implement your suggestion I can check it?

Either way the suggestion looks fine and i'll look to implement it over the next couple of days.

To be honest, I did not understand as well :laughing:

I think it only happens if you have multiple StoreViews. And the option System > Configuration > Web > Session Validation Settings > Use SID on Frontend has to be enabled. In my case, it only happened on the server and not on my local machine. The only relevant difference is the usage of https on the server.

Hope this helps in order to reproduce the issue.

So I wasn't able to reproduce from the limited tests I did however a bit of reading and the improvement you suggested seems to be the way to go with this, and with the limited tests I was able to do without reproducing the issue it seems to fix the issue.

I've pushed to master and once I do a few more test will release an updated version. (In 1-2 days I imagine)

Thanks again for your contributions!

Thanks again! Please note my comment on your commit.

I am happy to test and give you feedback as soon as you released a new version. Please bring the infinaterenderer branch up-to-date when you release a new version (that is the branch I am using right now).

[sprankhub]

Could you release a new version and/or update the infinaterenderer branch?

[JamesAnelay]

Should get this released and merged at some point Today simon, or early tomorow if not.

[JamesAnelay]

A new version has now been released (1.5.5) and i've also merge the changes into the infinaterenderer branch for you.

Thanks again for your contributions!
