Problem with friendly URLs, connection to resource's settings->Container checkbox (WHY? A BUG? A FEATURE?)

1

I almost broke my head over this… Is this a bug or it just makes sense? :slight_smile:

Revo install folder: /public_html/revo
Using friendly URLs (resource aliases).
Example of a resource with alias: https://mysite.org/revo/page1

If I have the above-mentioned checkbox unchecked for the resource (field isFolder in modx_site_content table), going to that URL ends up in a 404 page.

If I have the checkbox checked (isFolder = 1), I get a ‘/’ attached to the URL (i.e. https://mysite.org/revo/page1/) and the right page shows up.

WHY???

By default the url of your page is https://mysite.org/revo/page1.html with the ending “.html” if the field isfolder is unchecked and ‘Content Type’ is HTML.

You can change that in the top menu “Content” → “Content Types” by changing the value in the column “File Extension” of the row with “Name” = HTML.
