Error when trying to access a group/folder from content

On a solution we get an error in front-end when trying to access a group/folder from the content.

Like with this link: https://fsr.dk/skat and it triggers an error in the event log.

I know I can add a shortcut on the folder.

But I was curious if any other have run into this and has solved in a more general/programatical way.

Or if there is a feature I am not aware of, like setting a 404 page, but only for groups/folders.

Hi Jimmy

I got that reproduced. I would like to see the error you have encountered.

The one I got was coming from a template - but I can see that we might need to handle navigation to folders in the tree.

Hi Nicol(AI)

Here are some of the screen shots from the errors we got.

We have in the database set shortcuts to www.fsr.dk on most groups to try and avoid the issue.

Hi Jimmy

Yes - that is a template error. The folder gets the page layout template, but it probably lacks the item as the folder do not have items, and then the template fails.

You can also add this to the top of the master template:

@inherits Dynamicweb.Rendering.ViewModelTemplate<Dynamicweb.Frontend.PageViewModel>

@{

 if (Model.Item is null)

 {

 <h1>Page does not have an item</h1>

 var page = Dynamicweb.Content.Services.Pages.GetPage(Model.ID);

 if (page is not null && page.IsFolder)

 {

 <h1>Page is a folder</h1>

 }

 return;

 }

}

I'll see how this has to be changed. I am not sure I want to go 404 for folders by default - as they can render, if the template is correct. So it would be a change of behavior - maybe with side affects we do not want. But it should probably return 404 - at least as an option.
