17 · Hard-coded links to aliases that Pathauto replaces (and one wrong link)
Project Local (site template, Annertech)
Component Default content
Category Bug report
Priority Normal
Status Draft, not filed on drupal.org yet

Problem/Motivation

  1. Content exports fixed aliases (/housing, /local-tax/...) without pathauto: 0. Pathauto regenerates aliases on import from the title. In English this happens to produce the same aliases; on a translated site it produces e.g. /wohnen. Body text links such as /local-tax/reductions-and-discounts and Klaro's privacy policy link (internal:/privacy-policy) then return 404.
  2. Independent of language, "Check your collection schedule" links to /waste-and-recycling/report-a-missed-collection, but the page's alias is /waste-and-recycling/report-missed-collection → 404 in English too.

Steps to reproduce

  1. Install Drupal CMS with Local.
  2. Open "Check your collection schedule" and click "report a missed collection" → 404.

Proposed resolution

  • Export body links as entity links (entity:node/… / data-entity-uuid), or set pathauto: 0 for content with fixed aliases.
  • Fix the wrong link.

Additional information

Workaround in dcle (TemplateAliasRedirector: 301 redirects from replaced template aliases).
