Hi Alec,

Thanks for the interest. I have tried to reproduce the error but can't get to stage that I can even  compare two products on a vanilla instance without issues (differnt to my issue).

Problem 1 - Compare button doesn't work

Here are the issues that I have found and should be reproducible.

1. I downloaded the 1.1.3 tomcat bundle. I set up the instance.
2. I go to a Beccia example site I can add two items to compare
3. I click the compare button and nothing hapens.
4. The error in catalina.out is "2019-03-23 16:03:09.218 WARN  [http-nio-8080-exec-8][PortalImpl:1004] Redirect URL http://blackswan:8080/web/demo/compare is not allowed"

To get the compare page to show I have to add  "redirect.url.security.mode=domain" to portal-ext.properties. It then worked properly. I recall having to do this on my instance that I have the issue on too but I have the problem as per previous posts.

Problem 2 - Changed default language

I have been experiencing a lot of problems with pages not showing etc and I think they are due to a combination of working in a 2ndary instance and changing the instance default language form English US to English UK.

I have tried changing the default language of the primary instance on a vanilla bundle install to English UK to see if I can reproduce my error but now I can't even get the compare portlet to show when I tick the compare box on a product. i.e the box at the bottom of the page with the compare button does not show. Going directly to /compare results in a blank page. (There is a heaer but thats it.)

I am going to try and create a 2nd instance and create a site in there to see if I can get closer to my issue but I think the above two issues should be reproducible your side. If not please let me know as then it must be some combination of OS/Broswer etc.

thanks

PS - See post below for the problem I am having now which involved a default language change and a 2ndard instance.

RE: Product Compare - bug in rendering if specifications do not match

I can reproduce the error. You need to create a 2nd instance and to access the 2nd instance you need to make a two entries in portal-ext.properties.

"locale.prepend.friendly.url.style=0
locales=en_GB"

This is to overcome the login popup problem. See here https://community.liferay.com/forums/-/message_boards/message/112766196 and logged here https://issues.liferay.com/browse/LPS-92458?filter=-2

When you access the compare functionality now you should see the display problems I am experiencing. The complete set of portal-ext.properties I have are

redirect.url.security.mode=domain
locale.prepend.friendly.url.style=0
locales=en_GB

So it appears to be related to two instances and default language. Hope this all makes sense
