URLs has changed after upgrade

Hi!

We have recently upgraded to DynamicWeb 8.3.0.7 fra 8.2.0.3

As a result of this some of the old urls in the solution has changed.

 

There is a page named "Research & Faculty", before the URL was research-faculty.aspx, but after the upgrade it has changed to research---faculty.aspx. This is also the case for lots uf sub-pages before located at /research-faculty/ now at /research---faculty

This is a problem because of search engine indexing and exteral linking to the page.

I can't find this change in any release note. Is there anything I can do to fix this?

Hi!

This is indeed a bug in our system, which has now been registered. URL Replacements for certain page names like "X & Y", "X-&-Y, "X&-&Y" are no longer being made. A workaround could be to rename the page "Research & Faculty" to "Research&Faculty" for the time being.

Hi!

Thank you for your answer. We will use the workaround until the buxfix is released.

Hi Nicolai,

 

I was told in case: 99374 that this is not a bug, but the desired behavior by Dynamicweb, so I am looking forward to hear if it is a bug or a feature :-)

 

Best regards, Anders

Hi Anders

 

The case 99374 was closed on the 18/9 2013

Problem was found and resolved.

So yes there was a problem using special character in customized URL´s, but this has been resolved.

 

Kind Regards

My question was not about special characters, but about the extra "-" 's  :-)

 

So I am still looking forward to hear how this is supposed to be handled

Hi Anders

 

It was a bug that was introduced in some release not that long ago. Now it has been fixed and will be out with NeXT hotfix.
