[solved] allow query string (?p=) to one directory only - dbrooke - 04-28-2017
Hello CI'ers,
I'm trying to embed a forum app into a codeigniter page. The problem I am running into is that the app is producing tradition query string calls which CI is not allowing.. ie. I get a 404.
When I (globally) allow traditional query strings in config.php:
$config['enable_query_strings'] = TRUE;
The site doesn't work.
I then tried overriding the config in just the forum controller itself:
$this->config->set_item('enable_query_strings', TRUE);
That did not work.
Any ideas?

FYI, this is an example of a call that is generated by the app that returns a 404:
http://domain.com/daforum/index.php?p=/&remote=http%3A%2F%domain.com%2Fforum%2F&locale=
The same call without the query string:
http://domain.com/daforum/index.php
Works fine.

Strange thing.. if I change one character of that first URL, it works fine.. it's the '&' char. before 'remote':
domain.com/daforum/index.php?p=/?remote=http%3A%2F%2Fdomain.com%2Fforum%2F&locale=
I then tried allowing '&' characters via the config.php as such:
$config['permitted_uri_chars'] = 'a-z 0-9~%.:_\&\=\-';
This did not work.

I solved this in config.php by doing:
$config['enable_query_strings'] = FALSE;
and
$config['permitted_uri_chars'] = 'a-z 0-9~%.:_\&\=\-';
Then editing the .htaccess file for the app that was sending the query string call... seems to work.
