ACTIVITY and activity slugs

[henry.wright]

If I go to example.com/activity I can see the sitewide activity feed. However, if I capitalise 'activity' and go to example.com/ACTIVITY I see an empty page.

I think in the case of example.com/ACTIVITY, you are seeing the WordPress page you created in the WP admin dashboard.

A good example can be seen on buddypress.org. Try going to

http://buddypress.org/community/activity/

and

http://buddypress.org/community/ACTIVITY

Hi @henry.wright

Interesting catch !

I'm curious to know how you got Uppercases in the url :)

This is also happening on url like site.url/members/username/Messages/ .. I'm not sure my patch is the best way to handle this issue. But it seems to fix it!

@imath - I was working to get something done quickly and was trying to type fast. I must have hit the 'Caps Lock' key just before I typed the 'a' in activity :)

Yeah, this sounds right. Looks like our URI router isn't recognizing the two as equivalent.

I would like to have this tested with non-Latin alphabets before continuing. Casting both the page slug and bp_uri to lowercase via mb_strtolower() should be enough, but this should be verified for Arabic or Chinese or Russian or something like that.

Moving to 2.1 for further view and to fix.

Moving to 2.2 as we need a bunch of unit tests to be careful we don't break the URI router. If someone wants to write tests in the next week or so, we can move it back to 2.1.

Going to close in favour of another ticket #5865 with a similar issue that also covers non-Latin characters, and has a start at unit tests.
