Nicklas Lundgren	Saturday 10 January 2004 1:44:11 pm Hi all, I have just upgraded to 3.3.1, and run into problems. I understand that there has been a move from content/view/Xx links to url_alias links in this upgrade, regarding all sorts of templates. This has effect, for instance in the admin-interface, where url_alias links is used for folderlistings etc. For example in admin\override\templates\folder_thumbnail.tpl. The problem is that the $node.url_alias that is used in the templates is empty in my site! With the effect that the links in the admin-interface all go to the root.... :-( Is this a known problem? Are there any workarounds? Since I have made an upgrade (manually), is it possible that some override-settings may cause this? Any ideas greatly appreciated! Regards, Nicklas Lundgren
Marco Zinn	Saturday 10 January 2004 2:11:26 pm I think, the 3.3 kernel should ALWAYS return some string, when $node.url_alias is called in a template. Depending on some setting (Probably "URLTranslation"), this will be a "nice URL" or some content/view/xxx stuff. Returning an empty string seems to be a bug. There is a table for the URL Aliases... is that empty? Did you use URLTranslations before the upgrade? You could try to DISABLE the URLTranslation in the .inis, so the kernel should return /content/view/xxx URLs, which should get you going again. Other hints: - Check the Update SQLs (but i guess, you ran them) - Check the upgrade folder. There are some .phps, that are commonly needed for upgrading... I think, there was one about the URL aliases, maybe this would fill up your DB table with the necessary data. Wild guesses, but maybe something will help you. Marco http://www.hyperroad-design.com
Nicklas Lundgren	Sunday 11 January 2004 4:31:40 am Hi Marco, Thanks for the reply to my question. I found an updateniceurls-script in the update-folder. And after running it, everything is working. I´ve had some problems with wildcard-urls a while ago. Probably I deleted a little too much then... Regards, /Nicklas
