Question

F5 Redirect To Homepage

1

Hi, When I want to refresh a page (which open by a microflow), it redirects me to Homepage. But I want to stay in that page. I try to use the URL approach. But keep getting “The page you requested was not found. You are redirected to the homepage.” How can I solve this problem?

Hey Özge,

F5 refreshing of pages in Mendix is a bit wonky, if it can’t place your actual location in the app it will indeed return you to your homepage. To keep it a bit more natural, you can provide your users with a button that refreshes the page (There is an action for that in the Nanoflows Commons module on the market place), or with a simple ‘refresh in client’ with a “change object” action on the page parameter object.

If you do want to make sure F5 functions somewhat properly, you need to provide the page with a URL in its properties. To note, if the page needs an object parameter to function, you will need to be able to identify the object’s ID.
