TOPIC: MyBlog authors all get the same URL

Re:MyBlog authors all get the same URL 14 years, 2 months ago #11004

I just installed the latest extension update for MyBlog like you said. So now we are on version 2.1.0 for that extension (release date 3/1/2010) and the problem still persists.

Is there any additional information I can provide that would help you to fix this problem? We will be going into production soon and we will need to have this issue fixed before we can do so. I'm happy to help collect more information if what I have provided to you is not enough to adequately troubleshoot the problem.

Thank you for your continued work on this issue.

Normally the URL of the blogger should be:

blogs/blogger/chris-pegg

but when I check your site, all bloggers' URLs are the same:

blogs/search-blog-blogger

Go to JoomSEF=>Manage SEF URLs and copy-paste here the Real URL of this SEF URL plz.

Also, what's the MyBlog version you're using?

Hi Denis-

Yes, this is the problem I was hoping to get addressed. Thanks for your response. Here is the information you requested:

blogs/blogger/chris-pegg

This URL does not exist in our system, for me or for any of the other authors. The only URLs that are generated with the path blogs/blogger/ prefix are as follows (first part is SEF URL, second part is actual URL):

blogs/blogger/tags/taking-action
index.php?option=com_myblog&blogger=Martha Coventry&category=Taking Action&Itemid=166

blogs/blogger/tags/taking-action
index.php?option=com_myblog&blogger=chris:pegg&category=Taking Action&Itemid=176

blogs/bloggers/bloggers
index.php?option=com_myblog&task=bloggers&Itemid=
166

blogs/search-blog-blogger

This SEF URL is duplicated a few times, once each for the users who have submitted at least one blog entry:

index.php?option=com_myblog&blogger=Martha Coventry&Itemid=166
index.php?option=com_myblog&blogger=a guest&Itemid=166
index.php?option=com_myblog&blogger=Fran Stanley&Itemid=166
index.php?option=com_myblog&blogger=Chris Pegg&Itemid=166
index.php?option=com_myblog&blogger=Ron Anderson&Itemid=166

I wanted to update with an insight that I had during some more troubleshooting as I was waiting for a response from Denis.

Right now, the author names are being linked like this, all of them making the same SEF URL:

www.compassionatesocieties.org/blogs/search-blog-blogger/

And in the past, I was trying to follow the author root by clicking on an author's article like this:

www.compassionatesocieties.org/blogs/chris-pegg/NAME-OF-ARTICLE

From this URL with Author name present, I tried to shorten it to :

www.compassionatesocieties.org/blogs/chris-pegg

Because it followed that the URL syntax above would result in a list of entries by that author. However, it gave the error Invalid Task.

Today when I was trying new things, I happened upon this syntax, which actually presents a list of articles by an individual author:

www.compassionatesocieties.org/blogs/sea...g-blogger/chris-pegg

So, it looks like what would fix the problem is that if the current author name SEF links would just get their /first-last suffix appended to what is currently being created by SEF (www.compassionatesocieties.org/blogs/search-blog-blogger/) then this problem will be solved. I can turn off SEF and see that the original Joomla system URLs are unique according to author name, so hopefully this will be the key to engineering the fix.

Thank you for your help, please ask me for more information if you need it! It's been nearly 3 weeks now and we could really use some help to get this resolved.
