[solved] wayfinder + Friendly alias path, alias/ gives wrong links

Hi

I have a bit a weird behavior with wayfinder:

with http://mydomain.ch/work everything works as expected
with http://mydomain.ch/work/ <-- note there is a slash (work/) I get wrong href’s

[~[+id+]~] will output
http://mydomain.ch/work/work/brand/client instead of
http://mydomain.ch/work/brand/client

where is this additional /work coming from? so far it’s not a problem though i’d like to understand what is going on.

MODx 1.0.0

Friendly URLs = YES
Use Friendly aliases = YES
Use Friendly alias path = YES
Allow duplicate aliases = NO
Automatically generate alias = YES

Make sure :

1. Suffix for friendly URL is set to blank, not slash char
2. .htaccess file is setup correctly to you modx path.

yep .htaccess is correctly in place. though i just saw it’s version 0.9.6.3

also suffix is set blank. now i tried with ".html" and things are much clearer now.

http://mydomain.ch/works
and
http://mydomain.ch/works.html is working as expected


http://mydomain.ch/works/ still goes wrong to /works/works/children.html

so i guess i go with ".html" for now

if anything changes after updating to 1.0.0 i’ll let you know.

cheers and thank you

oups, the problem was very simple, relative urls, and i only checked firefox status bar. so either using <base> or properly [(base_url)] solved my problem.

thanks everyone also in the #modx IRC channel for helping me.

Okay now I am experiencing a similar problem and though it seems as though you were able to solve yours.. I’m not. My issue is this:

I’ve got my site setup and everything, and I’m trying Wayfinder for the first time so I can see whether or not I should replace my old navigation ways to wayfinder. I successfully added to the page that I wanted just to test it. but ...
- (biggest problem) it doesn’t work. The links direct me to what seems to be the alias of the pages and I’m assuming that this is a Friendly URL issue but I’m not sure how to fix.
- Its ugly. I know there must be some resources out there with directions on how to properly skin this thing. I half-heartedly started to look for something but it seems as though I’m gonna have to jump through a couple hoops while attempting to bungee jump from a hovering helicopter to find something useful. *sigh*
any help anyone?

I just had the same problem but only on my contact page using SPForm. It turns out it was the Friendly URL Container Suffix setting. It was set to "/" and the Contact form is a container for the response form. That's where the extra "/" was coming from which changed the path to /contact/<menu item> even though I am not using Alias Paths. Setting the suffix to "" seems to have fixed it and does not appear to be creating a problem for children. I don't know if that would still be true of I enabled Alias Path.
