I had setup jFilters on an external test copy of a website. It worked as expected.

I have now installed jFilters on a copy running on an internally hosted (Windows) server.

I followed the setup guide (double checked - I think since 1.13 the "context" option moved), but while the filter module is displayed, and it shows results for each option after a search, when I click on a filter it does nothing.

When looking at the console I see there is an 404 error with the Javascript. I have attached a screenshot.

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks for any assistance.

Follow up, after more testing.

I noticed that the values of the fields can contain white spaces.

e.g. "gTL Stufe 1", "gTL Stufe 2", etc.

I don't know if this is relevant, just what I have noticed: If I reform the link and open it in a new window, it does not result in a 404 error.

Original link :

Domain/erkunden/suche/suchfilter/gTL+Stufe+1?q=tiefenlager&view=module&module_id=213&tmpl=component 

page displays a 404 error.

Replacing "+" in the link with "-" it opens a blank page with the filter module box:

Domain/erkunden/suche/suchfilter/gTL-Stufe-1?q=tiefenlager&view=module&module_id=213&tmpl=component

Are these values of my fields with white spaces causing a problem? I hope not as I have many hundreds of pages using these values.

UPDATE: I double checked with the externally hosted test website and it does use white spaces in the field values and works as expected.

Thanks for the reply, sakinho.

I checked and Ajax is enabled in the module. Screenshots of configuration attached.

I put error reporting to maximum, but no errors are displayed for my search page. Only the javascript errors as shown in attached screenshot.

I notice that I cannot clear the "preset filters" in the menu setup. 

Dave

This didn't attach.

I switched off Ajax and put Error Reprting to maximum.

I created a new menu item (as I could not clear filtes) - no filters selected.

I cleared filters in the module.

I tried directly opening the link shown in Javascript (same address as the direct link witout Ajax) and got a 404 error.

What do you mean by "2. Remove the menu item alias"? Where can I remove that?

Dave

I am having trouble posting my images :

"File name must only have alphanumeric characters and no spaces."

My file names are: 404_error.jpg, Menu_Item.jpg and Module.jpg. Only the first image was attached to last nessage.

I cannot post them.

Dave

Thanks Sakis,

I will try some of your sugestions - with the url re-writng part.

The test website I am using in-house is running on a Microsoft IIS web server.

Hi sakinho,

Sorry for the delay in supplying feedback.

I have migrated our large test website (Windows IIS) to an online environment (Unix).

I have only tried quickly but the 404 errors are no longer appearing, and filtered lists are shown

I will now setup Jfilter to the original setup (ajax) and give you feedback.
