known issue Blog URL incorrect

[WebCMS]

On our site, the "community" blog is having the URL "/blogs/blog/5-cricket/". Apparently, after renaming the blog, the URL did not sync with the new name.

The url by ID alone "/blogs/blog/5" does not work but strangely partial url "/blogs/blog/5-x" works as it does with topics, etc.

Please change the URL to "/blogs/blog/5-community" as there is no way to edit its URL in the frontend or ACP.

but strangely partial url

It's intentional and has worked like this... since the beginning, I think.

So please stop wrong accusations without checking the source, code at least. 🙂

Thank you for bringing this issue to our attention! I can confirm this should be further reviewed and I have logged an internal bug report for our development team to investigate and address as necessary, in a future maintenance release.

To be fair, code can be incorrect too.

I'm speaking about that part only:

It's done and works as expected. For example part of the furl.json file:

	    "blogs_blog": {
		    "friendly": "blog/{#id}-{?}",
		    "real": "app=blog&module=blogs&controller=view",
		    "verify": "\\IPS\\blog\\Blog",
		    "seoPagination": true
	    },

Friendly part must contain "-" to works properly.

Not sure why it should work with a vague URL like

/blogs/blog/5-x

The correct URL is /blogs/blog/5-cricket

Does the vague -x add any SEO value?

That was my point 😀

Will it fix wrong old blog URLs retroactively?

When is the next release?

(I need to send out blog URLs to others and don't want to send wrong URLs or dead links)

This fix still needs to be reviewed by our processes but it is estimated for 4.7.17 so likely the April release.
