conditional url segments

[bwakad]

I use sort values via input-> so that this part always stays at the end of the url

the link is for example: $currentUrl.'?sort=name';

Since I also use segments to catch a specific field to search on, I had to change the ?sort url.

This is why I used the urlSegmentsStr code below (found on a post from Martijn):

    // change url for sorting if segments are used
    if($input->urlSegmentsStr){
        $currentUrl = $page->url.$input->urlSegmentsStr."/";
    }else {
        $currentUrl = $page->url;
    }

So the url now displays: /pagename/subpage/segment1/segment2/page2/?sort=name

Pagination seems to work, keeping field and sort.

Except when sorting again, on page2, any new sort will return back to page1 (not keeping the current page number 2).

EDIT ----

Actually come to think of it: why would I need to stay on that page after a sort (in any order)? After all, I request a new sort and want to see whats the first result, right?!

So I will close this topic... sorry!
