I have an application with html5Mode = true, but on IE I don't need to fallback to a #/url. What I need is to keep the URL and make a complete page reload.
If I don't find any way, I will need to edit the AngularJS file, and that is what I don't want.
Suggestions?
Thanks!
-- EDIT --
As a temporal solution I commented some code in the AngularJS file.
/*if ($sniffer.history) {*/
$location = new LocationUrl(
convertToHtml5Url(initUrl, basePath, hashPrefix),
pathPrefix, appBaseUrl);
/*} else {
$location = new LocationHashbangInHtml5Url(
convertToHashbangUrl(initUrl, basePath, hashPrefix),
hashPrefix, appBaseUrl, basePath.substr(pathPrefix.length + 1));
}*/
Now it doesn't fall back to Hashtag urls, and the Browser.url make a location.href if the browser doesn't support the history API.
I think this does what you want. If not, perhaps the solution involves the same event $locationChangeStart
.
var gate = 1;
$scope.$on("$locationChangeStart", function(event, nextLocation, currentLocation) {
if ($('html').is('.ie6, .ie7, .ie8')) {
if (gate === 0) { //prevent endless location change
gate = 1;
window.location.href = nextLocation; //reload the page
}
else {
gate = 0;
}
}
});
