getLastNumberInUrl remove fields

Hi Jeff

Thanks for posting!

I see what you mean and at this time there is no way to edit that.  I'll bring this up with the dev team and see if that's something we can make easier.  

I don't have control of the 3rd party adding its value, so that doesn't work. It would be nice if we could configure getLastNumberFromUrl to add additional values pairs to ignore/

Hi Jeff, 

We'll add a plugin hook for an upcoming release to let you modify/extend the $removeFields list.

We could also look at having an option to parse out the first number in the URL (after the ? but before &).  Let me know if that would be helpful.

And for more complicated sites sometimes it makes sense to just have a little custom code to parse out the number.  Especially if you want to customize the urls to appear in a way that is different from what CMSB does by default.

Hope that helps, let me know any questions or what would work for you.

I like the hook idea, makes it much easier to extend with third party apps. I am using tectites formmail for email handling as it is very advanced in many areas and with their hook system easy to integrate with CMSB.

Hi Jeff, 

Ok, I've added a plugin hook/filter called 'getLastNumberInUrl_removeFields' for the next release

Here's some example code: 

// test.php
// Usage: test.php?article-title-123&something-new=456

addFilter('getLastNumberInUrl_removeFields', function($removeFields) {
  $removeFields[] = 'something-new';
  return $removeFields;
});

print getLastNumberInUrl(0); // should output 123


We should have 3.01 out very soon.  Let me know any questions once you've had a chance to try it out.  Thanks!

I take it that this can go anywhere and doesn't need to be an add-on.

Yea, it can go anywhere, but if you need to call it on more than one page it would probably make the most sense as a plugin.
