VBO does not work with purl and organic groups (Spaces is also affected)

Thanks for your report. Tagging for next release.

Patch!

It looks like this is already in the 6.x-3.x branch, which I accidentally fetched with CVS and tried to patch initially.

Re #2: Thanks for the patch. I was somehow thinking of removing the url setting altogether, but if this works for the OP, then great!

Is it supposed to throw away the query parameters?
For me, it's a bit more robust:

$parts = parse_url($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']);
    drupal_add_js(array('vbo' => array('url' => url($parts['path'], array('query' => $parts['query'], 'fragment' => $parts['fragment'], 'absolute' => TRUE)))), 'setting');

Cause if i'm at a non-ajax views form, it does not throw away my filtering.

Aron, my patch just replicates what's already there. You may be right, though, in that there may be things we're not including in the URL that we should. Would you care to implement your improvement as a patch? If you're new to submitting patches, this page should be helpful.

Patch is attached.

I committed the simpler patch in #2. The patch in #6 broke VBO for installations that are not in the domain root. Anyway, the query parameters are recreated by VBO from the view object directly.

Thanks all!

FYI for others who are searching for this:

The patch also fixes a problem where VBO operations will not work when submitted inside of a Space (spaces.module), which uses PURL. Without the patch, submitting a VBO form will result in nothing happening other than the page reloading.

Patch in #2 applies cleanly to 6.x-1.10

Just upgraded to views 3 and bulk operations submit url breaks because its adding the purl of the group twice so http://site.com/g/group_name/node/add/ is wrongfully routed to http://sites.com/g/group_name/g/group_name/node/add/. Solution was to exclude the group's purl if you are in a group space. Patch attached below

Patch updated below.

@artkon: please produce a patch against the latest dev. This code has changed a lot.

FYI, the bug you're trying to solve is related to the interaction between Form API, the drupal_goto() core function, and Spaces module. I am willing to include the fix in VBO because I doubt this bug will ever be fixed in D6.

just reporting and subscribing..

not quite sure where this is at but i have Views Bulk Operations (VBO) 6.x-1.11 and Atrium (spaces, og, etc) VBO does not work (seems to work; form is there, lists nodes, etc - just doesn't do anything)

hmm.. actually some things work... i could bulk publish posts; but not set node fields (applied patch in #11 as well)

but even without patch above; doing an arb php script as vbo action does work; so perhaps juts a cck issue with modify node fields action?

Yes, probably a separate bug in the modify fields action. You'd need to provide the exact behavior and error for this to be debugged.

Let's do that in a separate issue. This one has too much history, patches, and unrelated problems.
