@virtahepoville I just wanted to confirm you were using the prefix and path correctly (because otherwise I don’t have an idea why it doesn’t work for you ).
@virtahepoville first I’m not sure what you’re trying to do.
If you wish to redirect to anther page then you should use
.redirect() and not .ok().
For example:
import {redirect} from "wix-router";
export function private_Router(request) {
return redirect("/" +request.path[0]);
}
and If you wish to continue to the same page, then you should use:
@jonatandor35 I’m trying to continue to the same page. I just tried this but it still is giving me a time out error. Redirects work fine, it’s just the ok() and next() that don’t work.
import {ok} from "wix-router";
export function private_Router(request) {
return ok("private-page");
}
I managed to fix the problem. It was due to the fact that I didn’t know how the format of the page string worked in the ok function. I couldn’t find any clear documentation on how it worked. The page name I used had special characters (ö and ä).
So for the page name ‘Pyörä’, I thought the correct format would be ok(‘pyora’) or ok(‘private-pyora’) even though it actually is ok(‘Pyörä’). This made the ok(request.path[0]) not work because the request.path[0] was ‘pyora’. I wish the page format could be simpler, it should work like in the redirect function which would make the usage of this function a lot easier. (Now, I have to add if statements to check if the request.path[0] is ‘pyora’ just to change it to ‘Pyörä’.)
As for the private_beforeRouter function, it did not work because when I used it, I deleted the private_Router function. This resulted in the following error which I hadn’t spotted in my testing:
‘private_Router’ function not found in ‘backend/router.js’
I had no idea that the Router function always had to be present. I wish it didn’t, because now I have to add an useless Router function that always calls ok(). Same for the Sitemap function, this occasionally leads to the same error.
