Templates / document types showing as pages.

I have just noticed that templates/ document types display in the umbraco front end as an actual page but with the sites root node as content.

For example - with a document type with alias "ContentPage" and matching template

Visiting /contentpage will show the content page populated with content fields from the root node.

Is this normal behavour? Is there a way to stop this happening or have I done something to cause this?

Thanks

Carl

Hi Carl,

Yes it´s normal behavior that you can visit /contentpage. It´s used for alternative template. Try to see this video about the subject on Umbraco TV

https://umbraco.tv/videos/umbraco-v7/implementor/fundamentals/templating/alt-template/

Hope this helps, you understand why this is possible.

Thanks Dennis

Is there a way of disabling?

It becomes a real issue when you have templates which are only used for displaying information to logged in users but any page can be displayed using that template.

I think the solution to disabling it is to remove the "SearchForTemplate" 404 handler from 404handlers.config

as suggested here

Any reason this would break anything else?

Thanks

Hi Carl,

Here is also a guide to how to disable the altTemplate in Umbraco. I would also work with Umbraco 7

Looks like that is the same suggestion as my link.

Thanks
