Hi, I noticed that when a user duplicate a resource, if he doesn't change the title before saving, Modx assigns the same URI.
This causes the error inside the log report:
[2014-01-30 03:14:25] (ERROR @ /index.php) Resource URI path/2013/10/28/alias/ already exists for resource id = 104; skipping duplicate resource URI for resource id = 110
The problem is that with sites with high traffic this cause the error.log grows very fast, as long as the error is repeated several times!
How can I prevent this behaviour? Maybe a plugin that control before saving?
thanks
Hi tillilab,
yes, I think a plugin, which runs on the event OnResourceDuplicate could check for duplicate URIs
There are the allow_duplicate_alias and global_duplicate_uri_check System Settings. I'm not sure how they work when you duplicate a Resource, though.
BTW, SiteCheck is handy to have when the duplicates occur because it will show you the sets of duplicates with links to edit either one.

FYI, if it's only attached to the one event, you don't need the test, just this:
$alias = $newResource->get('id').'-'.$newResource->get('alias');
$newResource->set('alias', $alias);
$newResource->save();
This might make it more reliable (or not):
$docId = $newResource->get('id');
$modx->reloadContext('web'); // or whatever context it's in
$obj = $modx->getObject($docId);
$alias = $docId . '-' . $newResource->get('alias');
$obj->set('alias', $alias);
$obj->save();
