Custom url aliases and pathprefix

Thursday 17 June 2010 1:50:06 am

Hi community! I'm having trouble getting custom urlaliases to work on one of our sites. When I click advanced > manage url aliases on the node in the tree and check both 'Alias should redirect to its destination' and 'Place alias on the site root' the alias won't work. When I uncheck both options it doesn't work either.

I suspect it has something to do with the recent upgrade to a multisite environment and the pathprefix setting. The pathprefix is not used in the admin siteaccess where the aliases are generated, but they are in the user siteaccesses.

Anyone got a clue where to look further?

Hoi Sander,

Which version of eZ are you trying this on, and what was the migration path ?
Also, was this working smoothly before migration ?

Let us know,
Cheers!

It seems to have to do with the setting DefaultErrorHandler=redirect in error.ini too. When this handler is used instead of displayerror, the aliases fail. When I use DefaultErrorHandler=displayerror the aliases do work.

It looks like a combination of a pathprefix and the above setting triggers a bug somewhere in the custom url alias code, because in our admin siteaccess (without pathprefix) custom aliases work fine.
