Summary of Changes

SEO impovement for views with pagination.

Add an option to not generate/build URL with empty limitstart - &limitstart=0

I added a few changes in com_content component to show how it can work.

Changes in pagebreak plugin:

  • remove empty &showall= - if someone will see a problem then I will revert it.
  • remove empty &limitstart=

Testing Instructions

I encourage to review the code. Any improvement is welcome.

You can test a new pagination option on article/category/featured/archive views.

Expected result

No more &limitstart=0 or &start=0 in com_content component

Documentation Changes Required

Every 3rd party extension can enable this feature in model or view by adding:

// Flag indicates to not add `&limitstart=` or `&limitstart=0` to URL
$pagination->hideEmptyLimitstart = true;

Now all should work as expected without any B/C break.

Affected views:

  1. com_content/category
  2. com_content/featured
  3. com_content/article (plugin pagebreak)
  4. com_content/archive
  5. com_contact/category
  6. com_contact/featured
  7. com_newsfeeds/category
  8. com_search/search
  9. com_finder/search
  10. com_tags/tags
  11. com_tags/tag

Every 3rd party extension can enable that option in model or view by adding:

// Flag indicates to not add limitstart=0 to URL
$pagination->hideEmptyLimitstart = true;

@Bakual Could you approve this PR? Could it go to 3.8?

avatar Bakual
Bakual - comment - 9 Feb 2018

@csthomas Technically it's a new feature and thus can't go into 3.8.x. It has to go into 3.9.0.
The code related to the pagination itself looks fine to me. I barely know the pagebreak plugin so I can't comment much there.
If it works for all affected views and that plugin, then it's fine ?

Can we consider milestone Joomla 3.9.0 once again?

@csthomas After changing the base branch to 3.9-dev to try merging there are some merge conflicts in the pagebreak plugin.

OK, merged

csthomas - comment - 9 Jul 2018

Be aware that $this->assertEquals(); is not a strict comparison (== vs ===), and both ...->active = '' or ...-> active = false will pass unit tests.

avatar mbabker
mbabker - comment - 9 Jul 2018

IIRC that's why $this->assertSame(); is the recommended approach (it does do (more) strict comparison).

avatar csthomas
csthomas - comment - 9 Jul 2018

Yes, obviously.

Travis passed.
Javascript error is not related to this PR.

One more human test please if needed.
