PagePathHistory

[ngrmm]

I have a redirect problem with a page inside a multi language website and would like to have a look at the page path history of that page.
But I get an error if I use this for example:

https://processwire.com/api/ref/page-path-history/

$array  = $pagePathHistory->getPathInfo($page);

// Error: Undefined variable: pagePathHistory on line: 1 Exception: Call to a member function getPathInfo() on null on line: 1

How can I use the page-path-history class.

Do you have the Page Path History module installed (it's in the core modules)?

Also, I think you should start by using getPathHistory(), and then getPathInfo() for information about a particular path.

[ngrmm]

yes it is installed.
It is still giving this error

Call to a member function getPathHistory() on null

maybe it is because it's a backend module and has to be initialized on the frontend before?

You can view the path history when the page is open in Page Edit, on the Settings tab:

And from the API:

@Robin S thanks!

Okay. The history is empty!
my page names are

/20years (default – language)
/de/20Jahre (de – german second language)

When I enter www.domain.com/20jahre the page shows up but in the default language. Is there any cache that I have to empty?
Even if I add de:/20jahre in the backend, it does not work as it should.

 

UPDATE: Or is it a problem to have a redirect url-name like the page name of the non default language?
