    Hi all. Lots of experience working with Articles, and I've never come across this before. I am using Articles 1.7.3 installed in an instance of MODX 2.2.10, and for the life of me, I cannot get the default URL created by the tags links to work. For example, on the list view of the articles where the tags are listed, a tag link of "featured" looks like this:

    http://www.examplesite.com/blog/tags/featured


    Unfortunately, visiting this URL returns a 404 error. However, using this style of link (manually entered) filters the list of articles as expected:

    http://www.examplesite.com/blog/?tag=featured


    I do have Friendly URLS enabled and functioning, along with Friendly Alias Path and a container suffix of "/". MODX is installed on a Windows NT Server with PHP 5.2.17. Any thoughts?

      Looking at the changelog, it appears that the tagging component was re-built in version 1.7.2. Perhaps this is the source of the issue?

        And to confirm was this working for you prior to upgrading MODX and/or Articles?

          The site I'm experiencing the error on is a brand new site - it was never running a previous version of either MODX or Articles.

            can you check the value of your articles.container_ids System Setting. It should be kind of weird looking but contain ids to any and all Article Containers.
            kind of weird looking is the technically term

              It appears that that particular System Setting is ",33:arc_". There is only one Article container on this site, and its id is 33. Does that help?

                Ya, that is what it should be. What does your .htaccess look like?

                  It's the standard MODX .htaccess file - I just changed the name.

                    Also, the host for the site in question is Applied Innovations - they're at http://www.appliedi.net/.

                    • Do you by any chance have the cache_alias_map System Setting turned off? It appears the ArticlesRouter does not support this new feature available in the MODX core.
