    What could be wrong when i have to re-save the friendly-alias setting to get the alias to display in a link instead of the Id? When i post a blogentry the link in the newslisting is "199.html" then when i "resave" the friendly alias setting, the link becomes the document-alias (as it should).

    Is this a known bug? Im running 0.9.1 (rev 646) on this site. I know i should upgrade but someone might just know where the error is wink

      Sounds like the original publishing mechanism is not updating the siteCache file; are you using NewsPublisher and then resaving from the manager? That would explain it.

        Try to upgrade first. If you add an alias manually, it should be there on the first save.
