Ignore Paginate segments when creating calculating last_segment_ variables

johndwells 4 Mar 2013 13:48 idea, complete

Hi Low,

I've got Seg2Cat installed to harness the "last_segment_" variables, but when visiting a Pagination URL (e.g. "/somewhere/cat/cat-name/P2"), the last_segment_ variables are all empty.

Any reason why Seg2Cat can't be modified to ignore this url if present? I've placed this at line 456 in ext.low_seg2cat.php:

// -------------------------------------- 
 // Ignore if last segment is Pagination 
 // -------------------------------------- 
 if (preg_match('/^[pP]\d*$/', $segment_array[$last]) == 1) 
 { 
  --$last;      
 }

   Well, the reason it currently doesn't, is because neither does EE natively. The (now) native {last_segment} variable will reflect the last segment, regardless of pagination. Low Seg2Cat follows the same principle.
   
   But maybe it could be a setting...

   Hi Low,
   
   A setting would be really helpful for my circumstance. What are the chances?
   
   Huge thanks,
   John

   Take a look at the dev branch on github. Try that out and see if that works for you: https://github.com/lodewijk/low.seg2c...
