CMS Made Simple Forums

hi,

I'm using cmsms 1.2.3

I've got pretty urls switched, and I've just noticed that the navigation seems a little out.

example

'base/parent/child' is the correct path, but 'base/parents/child' takes me to the same page, anyone know why that is?

thanks.

Nobody?

Isn't this a serious security issue?

No, it's not a serious security issue..... because the page alias is always enforced to be unique...

therefore:  base/parent1/parent2/parent3/page-alias is largely just for display purposes.    just using the page-alias is just as good.

but the page alias here for example is 'parent' not 'parents' they should be two completely different sections shouldn't they?

forevernomad,

the page you are calling, independant of where it is, has a unique alias, so no matter what parents are above, the called page (in your example the child) has an unique alias.....

I was playing around to see how far it went and I realised that's how it works.

I tried base/sdfhsdfhs kfdhs/dsfh shfhj fjsfhssjddfjh/sdjdfjfh hsjdfhj hsjfhksdf/dfsjfjk fsddfjk hs/page (literally)

It still went to page.

It's just that I've been to a lot of sites that have pretty urls and if I mistype the path I get a 404, I was expecting the same here, I thought that was how it worked. Sorry if I was out of line.

Hello,

any authorization test you put in a tag at the begining of the page is enforced whatever the/parent/urlpath/to/page. Hence this is not a security issue.

It may be a "duplicate content" issue with bugy bots. It should be fixed in 2.0 with /clean/hierarchy/parent/page.html.
