New container (folder)

I’m using path aliasing and that’s working fine..
But I’m trying to make a new folder with the module I’m developing and the folder and the content page show up fine in the manager - but I can’t browse the folder. I checked it against the db to make sure the folder matches up to a folder that was created in the manager and I’m not seeing anything different (besides the date and times). Is there some other table besides site_content I should be looking at?

Here’s a couple things you can try out:

• Make a link to the folder in another of your documents by using [tt]<a href="[~x~]">[/tt] where ’x’ is the ID of the folder (found in the manager tree in ’()’).
• Make sure that you’re typing the prefix & suffixes correctly when typing the URL directly in to your browser.
• Type the ID directly in to your browser like so: [tt]http://www.example.com/index.php?id=x[/tt] where ’x’ is the ID of the folder.

Without more information, this is all the help I can give. If you still have trouble, show us what you’re typing, what it should look like, and maybe a screenshot of what your manager window looks like.

Enjoy!

I’ll have to reset it up to do a screen cap which I don’t think will help since the dynamically created container folder looks just like the one made by hand. The only difference is that I can’t access it from the front end

i.e.: http://whaterver.com/news_and_articles/my_subject/1/my_article.php

I can get http://whaterver.com/news_and_articles/my_subject/

but not
http://whaterver.com/news_and_articles/my_subject/1/
or
http://whaterver.com/news_and_articles/my_subject/1/my_article.php


I’ve even gone back in to the db to change the alias’s to make sure they were in place and still nothing.

I had to edit and save the container folder in the manager.....



But here’s the code I’m running to create the folders..

Maybe you should take a look at the MaxiGallery code; it seems to have no problem creating folders dynamically.
