Browser back button doesn't work

Here’s the page:
https://ipa.atcomm.com.au/articles
Click ‘Filter’, click on any of the filter tags that drop down, and watch the Ajax Loader load the content. Note the change in the URL (I’ve modified the plugin code to allow that URL to be loaded via Ajax)

Now hit Back. You’ll note the URL changes back fine, but the page doesn’t change at all.

Any clue?

Sorry, my fault.

I changed the check_ignore function to return false unless a very specific type of URL is called (i.e. I didn’t want ajax to work for every single link).

Clearly, when one presses back the page is never reloaded (in the windows.onpopstate), since the previous url isn’t obviously that exact type of URL I was checking. It returned false always!

Learning: don’t make changes to the check_ignore function. If you want to extend it, make a new function of your own and call it where you need to, to avoid botching up the rest of the code flow.

Hi Pulkit24,

I’m trying to do the same thing that you did but I don’t have as much programming experience. Can you provide an example of the new function code and instructions?

Thanks!

I’m a little confused, is there anything I can change to try and fix this issue? People should be utilizing the ignore pattern feature. Please give me an example of the problem so I can diagnose.
