Hiawatha version: 9.7b
Operating System: Centos 6.5

A joomla site we run has a problem with all the postback crap facebook sends when returning to the site, it actually breaks the joomla site.

We had used this rewrite rule:

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} fb_action_ids
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /$1? [R=301,L]

Easiest way to do this? I would experiment but the site is live.

Try this one:

UrlToolkit {
  ToolkitID = facebook_backpost
  Match !fb_action_ids Return
  Match ^/(.*)$ Rewrite /$1?
}

Yup, that did it thank you.

Testing 9.7b, whats the proper way to use the toolkits from .hiawatha files? What happens if a user types in a toolkit not defined?

What do you mean with 'proper way'? Just place 'UseToolkit = <some id>' in a .hiawatha file.

I think using a non-existing UrlToolkit id will result in a 500 error. Haven't tested it yet.

That's what I meant didn't know if you changed the syntax or anything

500 is what I expect, just didn't want it to crash anything, since clients will do unexpected things sometimes.

Crash? Have you have seen Hiawatha crashing? Dude!

Lmao. Ok, crashing was definitely the wrong word

How about this, effecting other users somehow. better?

Much better. However, the errors in a .hiawatha file from one user won't affect the websites of other users. So, don't worry, be happy.
