[use unique alias]alias field add article id on alias

Hi,

i dont know if this is an issue of flexicontent but i think ...

today i want to create a new article ... but if I save, alias field is add the id after alias value:

article-title_1762

I dont need this and i dont want to have this, and i can not remove, after new save its added again ... its only on articles with same titles like in other already exist articles ... (I hope you anderstand ) my sef component (sh404sef) is already added the id to url, so i dont want to have this in alias field because with this its twice in url ...

this issue is new, i didnt have any problem with same titles one different articles till today ...

Thank you

Hello

the alias is already used by some other item,
did you try using a slightly different alias?

an alternative would be to fail the saving process

the alias is already used by some other item,

yes i know, but this was not an problem till yesterday. If i use an unique alias there is no effect but i need to use the same alias ... and to make different and unique urls i have configured sh404sef to add id to url. Unfortunately there is no way to remove the added id in alias, except to edit database entry

Hello,

people, reported same alias as a bug, so that is why we "fixed" this

also Joomla make sure that alias is unique, but without auto-setting an alias, instead it gives you an error it sets an alias that also includes date

-- why do you want / need to use same alias?

Would it be able to add an option in configuration to enable/disable the suffixed id? This would be nice!!

All SEO-Components has an option to add item id to url. Its easier to add extra suffix or different value manually to alias in special point of use instead to delete an automatical generated but non wanted value which is not be able to remove ... so i can not understand to report same aliases as an bug. But this is my subjective point of view

-- why do you want / need to use same alias?

I want to have an clean as possible url. Since my SEO component is already add id to url so i dont need to add the id ahead in alias. We have some articles with same title (names of products, period tests and so on) and dont wish to add more text as this one to title. The alias should be same as title and clean as possible without added non informal value. To make unique urls i have sh404sef
