Mark,
have you tried it without
urlify="true"? I have a feelingtype="slug"includes urlify-ing anyway, so you're double-urlify-ing...As Duncan says, it makes little sense to use
urlifyon a slug, because that's its one job. What scenario is resulting in slug data that contains spaces? It should be urlified on the way in.It's so a user can set or edit the post slug independently from the post title before publishing. I'm trying to guard against users entering a slug incorrectly. I'm still getting spaces and whatnot without
urlify="true".That's not going to work with the Blog app. If you need control over the slug outside of the apps mechanism for formatting the slug, you'll need to add an additional field for it.
Is this what you mean? I have a separate field for the post slug (I inserted the dashes myself here).
From a picture of an interface? I have no idea what I'm looking at.
I thought that's what you mean by adding an additional field. Nevermind though, it's not important, I'm happy to leave this one here.
Hi Mark,
I think
urlifyonly works for output, so adding it to the edit form shouldn't make a difference.If you are using
postURLin your listing template, addingurlifyto this tag should fix the slug in the URL, but you'll end up with a different slug on the URL from the actual one.Even if you construct your links manually, you'd be be modifying the slug on output.
When you add the following to your template:
It shows the slug field on the edit form and makes it editable. When you enter
postTitle, it automatically generates the slug for you. If you choose to manually edit the slug, you have to keep it URL-friendly as I don't think there's anything in place that stops you from entering spaces/special characters.
