Solved: Internal Page Link: has the destination page picker changed?

Post by Charles Butcher »

For Internal Page Links, has the method of choosing the destination page changed recently?

I thought that previously the dropdown picker showed page aliases. Many apologies if I'm imagining this. Currently (2.2.16) it definitely shows page titles.

This is important to me because my site contains a lot of meeting minutes, agendas and newsletters. Documents of each type share the same title (obviously they have different aliases). Picking the correct destination page for an internal link is tricky when all the titles are the same (see screenshot), and it would be much easier to use aliases. I could of course change the whole site to use unique page titles, but I'm sure this wasn't necessary in the past.

Thanks for any enlightenment on this, including suggestions for how I might change it.

Apologies. It's selectable in User Preferences, I see. I've never needed to touch this before, and the update to 2.2.16 must have changed it somehow.
