URL parameter defaults to 'undefined' in live app

Ask us anything

Hey, I have a page called products. It has a optional URL for the product ID.
I conditionally hide/show the sections depending on if the URL parameter is present.
This worked well in the editor, but when I publish the app to live mode, the URL parameter is defaulting to ‘undefined’, therefore the app thinks it is present (although obviously incorrect).

It looks like this
https://***********.weweb-preview.io/products/undefined

If I try to manually remove the URL parameter, the page doesnt exist.

Anyone knows how to deal with this?

The URL parameters was not meant to be optional :confused:

The way weweb works its not possible for now to have multiple path for a same page. But you can make a feature request so we can work on this.

What you can do is either

  • having 2 distincts pages, one with the parameter and one without the parameter
  • use query parameter instead

Ah okay, that makes sense now. Thanks!

You can make a linked section for the common part, so the transition will be seamless and you will not have to maintain two sections :slight_smile:
