• Hello Fabrik Community

    Fabrik is now in the hands of the development team that brought you Fabrik for Joomla 4. We have recently transitioned the Fabrik site over to a new server and are busy trying to clean it up. We have upgraded the site to Joomla 4 and are running the latest version of Fabrik 4. We have also upgraded the Xenforo forum software to the latest version. Many of the widgets you might have been used to on the forum are no longer operational, many abandoned by the developers. We hope to bring back some of the important ones as we have time.

    Exciting times to be sure.

    The Fabrik 4.0 Official release is now available. In addition, the Fabrik codebase is now available in a public repository. See the notices about these in the announcements section

    We wish to shout out a very big Thank You to all of you who have made donations. They have really helped. But we can always use more...wink..wink..

    Also a big Thank You to those of you who have been assisting others in the forum. This takes a very big burden off of us as we work on bugs, the website and the future of Fabrik.

[solved] Joomla Redirect Doesn't work if homepage is set to Fabrik form

Hello,

I want my homepage to be a Fabrik form but I noticed all my redirects don't work once a fabrik form is set as my default homepage.

Is there a fix for this?
 
Fabrik global options, Global tab, set "Home 404" to Yes.

Once you set Fabrik as the home page, you wind up going through our router for any links that can't be parsed. We then have the option of throwing a 404, or just showing the home page. Some of our users prefer to just show the home page. But that means redirects won't work, 'cos the system redirect plugin kicks in when a 404 exception is raised, and can also damage SEF rankings, as you can then have multiple (broken) URLs that hit the same content. So it's kind of a toss up between the user experience / SEF issues / redirect plugin.

You'll find it's not just Fabrik - there's quite a few components that, if you set them as the home page, won't raise a 404. Even some of J!'s built in stuff.

Anyway, set "Home 404" to Yes, and your redirects should work.

We are in need of some funding.
More details.

Thank you.
