Aliases change after "updating" articles
Aliases change after "updating" articles
The "update" function updates the articles, but it also changes the articles' Aliases by appending a hyphen and numbers. This is a problem because now people with direct links and bots (Google crawlers etc.) will not find these "updated" articles -- they'll still be looking for the old alias.
Is this behavior "by design", and if so, has anybody else raised it as an issue, or am I missing something?
Thank you,
KenW

Re: Aliases change after "updating" articles
Hello KenW,
Thanks for pointing this out. This bug is caused by a procedure to avoid errors when an article is created with the alias of an existing article. Obviously this shouldn't happen when an article is updated. To fix the bug you need to edit the file /administrator/components/com_focontentuploader/models/ focontentuploader.php
Cut line 788 to 799 and paste that block at line 752
This will be fixed in version 2.5.4
Kind regards,
Pete

Re: Aliases change after "updating" articles
Hi Pete,
I too am having the same issue (on version 3.10).
The system is adding two numbers one at the start and one at the end.
Here is an example of a URL:
www.mywebsite.com/281-bn55b-281
The Article ID is "bn55b" and the "281" is added automatically ... twice!!
Any help/advice would be appreciated
Garry
