No duplicate aliases anywhere within the hierarchy

Hello,

CMS Made Simple has done everything we wanted it to very easily, but it doesn't seem to be
able to do this..

In our existing flat file website we have sub sections with the same name in different sections..

/research/groups/sisp/projects/
/research/groups/sisp/people/
/research/groups/sisp/publications/

/research/groups/robotics/projects/
/research/groups/robotics/people/
/research/groups/robotics/publications/

This is great for a file system, but cms made simple only sees the last item as the alias and
so complains about it being not being unique. Is there any way around this limitation?

This subject is touched upon in this post too..

Thank you.

Hello davidbenko
Welcome at the CMS Made Simple forum.

I'm afraid page aliases should be unique in CMSMS, you have to find a way around this.
Perhaps you can do something like

/research/groups/sisp-projects/
/research/groups/sisp-people/
/research/groups/sisp-publications/

/research/groups/robotics-projects/
/research/groups/robotics-people/
/research/groups/robotics-publications/


Regards, Rolf  :)

Thank you,

We are thinking about using the full url for the page alias
/research/groups/sisp/projects/
this may break other things though.
