1370592 - Moving articles to a different node breaks the article URL

Status: RESOLVED INVALID

(support.mozilla.org - Lithium :: Knowledge Base Software, enhancement)

Description

[Joni Chan]

The breadcrumb path is in the URL, so when we move articles to a different category, its previous URL no longer works.

If we remove the breadcrumb path from the URL and just use the unique article identifier, will that break the redirect solution that Giorgos is working on?

Joni I don't understand what you mean by "redirect solution" can you be more specific?

AFAIK The important part in lithium URLs is the ID at the very end of the link. You can replace titles in the URL with "-" and it will still work.

e.g.
