[3.3.0-2] Virtual url doesn't work

Wednesday 24 December 2003 3:50:24 am

Hi,

I was just playing around with ezPublish 3.3.0-2. I installed the corporate 'site' in the install.
Now, I saw the URL Translator. The way I see it, you just have to enter a 'System URL' (in my case: corporate/content/view/full/124) and a 'Virtual URL' (in my case: bottom).
I stored it, but there's no way I can access it. I tried:
- http://www.mydomain.com/index.php/bottom
- http://www.mydomain.com/index.php/corporate/bottom
- http://www.mydomain.com/bottom (which of course didn't work)

What do I do wrong here? (or is it a know bug or something?)

Maybe you have to clear the cache first? Haven't tried it, but maybe...

So, you got it working, eh? Great! :-)

You don't have to include the name of the siteaccess ( in this case "corporate" ) when setting up the virtual URL. Actually, I don't think that you can (because of how the system is designed and how it actually works). Sorry, I didn't see the "corporate" part when I was reading your first post. The "index.php" and the "corporate" part of the URL is usually not shown (take a look at the URLs of a pro eZ publish site). However, they are shown in your installation because you probably chose the default access mode when you set up eZ publish. There are other ways to set it up. I suggest that you check out the following links:

and

http://ez.no/developer/ez_publish_3/documentation/configuration/configuration/site_access

The bottom line is that you can't include the name of the siteaccess when using the URL translator.
