Hi guys,
I have a product detail page with a variant dropdown.
On select of a variant you get redirected to the product detail page of that specific variant.
Nothing strange there ....
But our customer noticed some urls result into a 404 page not found.
The links which are called are the parametrized urls like /Default.aspx?ID=1&GroupID=2&ProductID=3&VariantID=4
For the links that result into a 404, when I add &Purge=true the page shows.
When I don't it gets redirected to a friendly url, but then it can't be found.
I noticed that when this happens, there is a slash in the product name.
But it does not happen to EVERY url with a slash.
I can't figure out why some work and some don't
It might have something to do with the total length of the friendly url and the dw url functionality cutting the string somewhere in combination with slashes.
But what can I do about it ...
The products are screws, nails, nuts and bolds etc. and sometimes have measurements in their name line M6/M8/M10.
For example the pull down for this product: https://www.hoenderdaal-fasteners.nl/nl-nl/producten/moeren/assortimenten/systec-assortimentskoffer
Some variant pages are reachable, others not.
I have to understand why this happens, so we can come up with a solution.
Removing the slashes from the title are not an option, I think ...
