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

Hello,

we cannot allow non-unique alias
maybe you have a suggestion on how to make the alias unique without adding the id of the content item (article)

okay ...

Is there a way to add id on alias also in older items too, and in all items, also with unique alias? (without manualy saving of each older item) Then i will disable in sh404sef option to add id without to broke older urls.

Hello

so the items with same alias are in same category ?

Good Morning ggppdk!

First: thank you for support!
Answer: Not all, but most of items (with same alias) are in same categories.

Hello

i checked and Joomla also forces a unique alias

(unique regardless of category too)

instead of article id it adds a incrementing number :

_2
_3
etc

so there is no simple way to allow this without breaking behavior of unique alias

Hello, all!

I have updated FlexiContent to v. 2 and all my site links became broken

My SEO component builds path in this way:
site.com/category1_alias/categor ... alias.html

So, I have for example 20 articles with alias "index" in 20 different categories. It may not cause any system confilct and must me allowed, I think.

OK, I understand that Joomla's standard it to have unique aliases, but de-facto standard differs from it.
I think no product must broke anything that worked by years on production.

I hope you'll "broke" this feature as you "fixed" it before.

P.S.: FlexiContent v. 2 is really good, I was really wondered full back compatibility with previous version in such flexible product (except alias problem).
