Possible Bug With 7.2.6

I have come across what I think is a bug. Please forgive me if it has already been raised.

I'm working on a site in 7.2.6 I have a template called Contact, I have a page called Contact Us I accidentally navigated to /contact instead of /contact-us I was expecting this to go to my custom error page which handles all incorrect urls like /kjsdalkjsd Instead of doing that, it renders the content from the home page with the Contact template inside it. I've found that I can navigate to any of my template names by entering the url of site.name/template

Please can you try it on your sites if you are on 7.2.6?

If it is something I've done wrong, please help me fix it.

Thanks

Paul

This is not a bug, it's a feature known as the altTemplate feature. Add ?altTemplate=SomeTemplate to any url or /SomeTemplate and you get the page you requested with the alternative template. You can disable this behavior in umbracoSettings.config if you don't like it.

By the way, I strongly urge you to upgrade to 7.2.8 as 7.2.6 has some unfortunate behavior which you could notice after your site goes live.

Thanks for clarifying this feature Sebastian I've turned the feature off now.

Please could you enlighten me on what unfortunate behavior I might see with 7.2.6 when it goes live?

Also, what is the upgrade process from 7.2.6 to 7.2.8 please?

Thanks

Paul

Let's just say you will not be happy if on a regular basis your site turns completely blank. We have release notes here: https://our.umbraco.org/contribute/releases/728

Upgrading 7.2.6 to 7.2.8 is mostly a matter of copying the new dlls in or doing a NuGet update-package: https://our.umbraco.org/documentation/Installation/Upgrading/general

Going from 7.2.4 to 7.2.8 via nuget any db updates or is it just dlls and files?

Regards

We NEVER do any database upgrades in patch versions.

Other than that, please always run the upgrade installer anyway. It's not necessary in this case but it is good practice and will automatically update your ClientDependency.config version so that changed backoffice functionality actually works.
