I just found out that changing only that one line as explained above breaks tag links as well as archive links...
I would love to see a change here as well. All I want is the simple alias without the containerUrl
So this is what I did, but I do not know what else will break, but this seems to fix the url issue on the page itself.
I have gone into /core/components/articles/model/articles.article.class.php
and changed line 286 from uri = rtrim($containerUri,'/') .'/'. rtrim($furlTemplate); to
$uri = rtrim($furlTemplate);
I wonder how to get this into the core? I don not understand the pull and commit and other stuff, but think this is a great package and would love to see this incorporated.
scratch that. Just noticed articles now has a general setting:
Articles URL Format
