updateniceurls.php expected behaviour?

Hi,

I've upgraded a site from 3.9.1 to 4.1.1

I've changed the WordSeparator setting to "dash" and run updateniceurls.php.

my urls have all changed however, the old urls don't redirect to the new urls. eg:

/site/my-url > goes to > /site/My-URL (good show)

however:

/site/my_url (the original url) gives a module not found.

Is this expected behaviour or have I borked up the upgrade?

Many thanks

Hey STEVO...

It seems the upgrade path might need to be "staged" between more versions (instead of 3.9 -> 4.1, go 3.9, 3.10, 4.0.1, 4.1)

See this post for more info:

Hope that helps you out,
Russ

Hi Russ,

I'm pretty sure that's what I did, well, 3.9.1 > 3.10.1 > 4.1.1

I ran updateniceurls.php after moving to 3.10.1.

If anyone has moved from 3.9 to 3.10+ and changed their WordSeparator, I'd be interested to hear if their original urls are being redirected. or from the eZ crew if this is supposed to work.

for now i've had to hack index.php.

cheers

I had this same problem - which broke the indexed links and links that people had bookmarked.

I fixed it by running updateniceurls.php once with the default TransformationGroup and then again with TransformationGroup=urlalias_compat

(Afterwards going back to the default for new objects)

This appended the ezurlalias_ml table with the dir_name paths too and they then resolved.

Not sure if there isn't a better way to do this (actually I'd like to see some documentation on what this is supposed to be doing anyway).

The niceurls is a nice idea but it has been an unending frustration for me too.

Thanks Steven,

Just a note to say that everything turned out fine by:

reverting to [URLTranslator]TransformationGroup=urlalias_compat

running updateniceurls.php

reverting back [URLTranslator]TransformationGroup=urlalias

rerunning updateniceurls.php
