Features / Usability

The resolution was to turn off search friendly URLs. This doesn't seem like a "friendly fix" (pun intended) to me, but its functional. This also fixed all sorts of issues I was having with galleries, such as sorting. It seems the tiki-browse_gallery.php script was losing its arguments. This would make sense since the rewrite rule drops anything but the id:

RewriteRule ^galleries$            tiki-galleries.php                       [L]
...
RewriteRule ^gallery([0-9]+)       tiki-browse_gallery.php?galleryId=$1     [QSA,L]

This translates

http://sonicbuddha.com/journal/gallery2&remove101

into

http://sonicbuddha.com/journal/tiki-browse_gallery.php?galleryId=2

when it should be

http://sonicbuddha.com/journal/tiki-browse_gallery.php?galleryId=2&remove=101

A fix, as grossly applied as can be, would be something like:

RewriteRule ^gallery([0-9]+)(.*)       tiki-browse_gallery.php?galleryId=$1$2     [QSA,L]

This fixes all the issues with image galleries that require a GET method of arguments (sorting, removing, etc).

I'm no whiz at web dev but it seems like the .htaccess rewrite rules require an audit. How do I file a bug? I'm open to filing suggestions as I find them as long as I can get some constructive feedback.
