Error: Alias must be all letters and numbers [solved]

Post by Gregor »

When adding a content page, there is the ability to add a page alias, however when adding a section header, there is none. CMSMS 1.6.7 gives an error saying: "Alias must be all letters and numbers". But there is no box under Options to add an alias???

Any ideas on how to solve this dilemma?

Thnks,
Gregor

Edit: The work around is to first add / submit the page as content type. Reopen it and change it to section header and submit the page.

Hi Gregor,

I can confirm this happens in release 1.6.7 and 1.7
Tried this in 1.7.1 beta and it does work there...
Should be fixed then  ;)

Grtz. Rolf

Hi Rolf,

Thanks for confirming :)
Not all of my site are running the proper php-versie :(

Please check this in the config.php.

Code: Select all

#Automatically assign alias based on page title?
$config['auto_alias_content'] = true;
By default this is set to true now, perhaps yours is still false...
This way you don't need to fill in a page alias, it will be generated from your page title.

Thnkx Rolf, that one was still set to false. Changed it to true.
