    UmbracoUrlAlias not working for lower level nodes

    Hi

    I have a doc type which has the property umbracoUrlAlias. My content tree looks something like this:

    Content
     - Uk
        - Homepage
        - About Us
           - Contact Us
        - News

    If I add a url alias for News (e.g. news2) then the alias works. If I add a url alias for Contact Us (e.g. contact-us2) the alias does not work.

    All my alias' are lower case but it looks like any nodes lower down in the tree (i.e. not at the top level) cannot have a url alias. Has anyone else had issues with this?

    Thanks,
    Aileen

    I've had this same issue before ...and also couldn't find a way.

    My site wants the ability to have multiple blogs (for example).  And on the backend I wanted to organise these blogs into 1 folder to keep the content tree looking nice (because I have many other doctypes as well).

    So what happens now is that my URLs all have/blogs in the address

    • domain.com/blogs/myblog
    • domain.com/blogs/herblog
    • domain.com/blogs/hisblog

    ...if I use the url alias and then create sub pages, those sub pages do not inherit the parent alias (or it's not recursive?).

    has anyone else got a way around this ...the ulternative appears to be to create the url alias for every single subpage.

    Help!

     

    Thanks,

    Daniel

    Hi,

    I'm pretty sure that the power of this one lies in the name - that it's a URL alias - so you can make the node take over any URL... so you need to provide the full URL (i.e., the path segment) like this:

    startpage,go/first,start-here

    Would answer to all of these:

    • /startpage
    • /startpage/
    • /startpage.aspx
    • /go/first
    • /go/first/
    • /go/first.aspx
    • /start-here
    • /start-here/
    • /start-here.aspx

    Read the Wiki page for it here
