Hello, why I am getting all my pages duplicated with ?_kobwebIsExporting=true parameter added ? For example you can go on <http://ayfri.com/|ayfri.com/> but also <http://ayfri.com/?_kobwebIsExporting=true/|ayfri.com/?_kobwebIsExporting=true/> , it will be the exact same page.
I don't want these fantom pages to be generated

[David Herman]

Definitely sounds like a bug. Will investigate in the next day or two.

[David Herman]

Just to make sure I'm on the same page, can you explain exactly what you mean by "duplicated"?

[Ayfri]

I tested a bit my website and I deduced that : all pages accept any additionnal query parameter (?something=something), but ?_kobwebIsExporting=true is present when using context.route , but in past commits I added canonical URL as the exact context.route.url
And google registered these pages as the "official" pages, it was a mistake by me

But is there any simple way to automatically remove any query parameters ?
I can do it myself by always redirecting if any parameter is present (and if I have a page with parameters I will add a custom behavior)

[David Herman]

I'm not sure I understand. Query parameters are basically user data -- they can be set to anything, and handled or ignored by the page as it wants?

[David Herman]

Ah I guess you basically want me to hide my _kobwebIsExporting hack from you

[David Herman]

Like even though it is set I shouldn't return it in the list of query parameters?

[David Herman]

(This query parameter is set at export time so that users can use ctx.isExporting which can be useful)

[Ayfri]

The exact problem is that at one time I registered all the pages with one query parameter as the canonical pages, which is for Google the "real link" of any page
It broke a bit the referencing of my website, but it's not a problem, it's my fault

However, I'm wondering if there is a simple way to automatically remove any query parameter when going on a route ? With pseudo-code it would look like this context.route.parameters.clear()

[David Herman]

What do you mean "when going on a route"?

[Ayfri]

Going on a page

[David Herman]

I'm sorry I still don't follow.

[David Herman]

I'm probably overthinking it

[David Herman]

Can you share concrete steps of what's causing you to see the issue?

[Ayfri]

Do not worry about that, it's only a problem for my side, I just need to redirect people going on any page of my website with a query parameter (to the same URL they are actually but without any query parameter)

[David Herman]

I see. You should be able to strip the query parameter and use ctx.router.navigateTo. You might also be able to use a route interceptor here, not sure

[David Herman]

Check out the docs for Router.addRouteInterceptor to see if it's a match for you (you may already be aware of the feature)
