Design Customization and URL Path

Squiz Matrix Support
1

Hi,


I got this strange problem with subnav design customization.



After I created the customization and create file inside the design file such as JS, File and CSS it create 2 URL Path's.



For example:


    
    http://www.myweb.com/_designs/main/jquery.js
    http://www.myweb.com.net/_designs/main/subnav/jquery.js



Is this a bug or something that can be turned off?


I'm using Matrix 3.28.1


Thanks.

You must have the asset linked under two different URL lineages (ie. Site assets with one or both of those URLs applied).


Have you checked the URLs screen of your Designs Folder?

The Design Folder and File has only one URL.


I did a further test with different Matrix Installation (3.28.1) and adding/deleting design customization.





If you create the design customization after the design files (css, js, images, favicon etc) then it doesn't create extra URL path to these files.

But if you create any new assets after the customization had been created then it gives extra URL path's depending on the number of customization you have. So for example if you had 3 then all your new assets inside the design file end up with 4 URL path (1 original URL / 3 design URL path).





I strongly believe this is a BUG that was created after 3.18 because we had 10 design customization in one design file and files created after these design customization didn't get extra URL path's. We recently got upgraded to 3.28.3 and now it gives 11 different URLs to any new asset that is created in the design file.





Can anyone else test this and confirm please.

Same on by build. Does anyone else see this?

Any chance you could post screenshots of the "Web paths" screen and the "Linking" screens?

Hi


Here is a example of site with many design customization and it is creating multiple URL links

This is the linking screen:

This is was before the system upgrade, notice the 1st URL only has 1 instance.

Hi Dan,


Did you manage to replicate this?





If it is a bug I will log it into the bug tracker.

I'm not so sure this is a bug. It looks like there is a webpath for every link, so there might be an explanation for this. Is this a Squiz-supported system? If so, I'd recommend emailing support@squiz.co.uk and getting somebody in the team to check it out.

It is a Squiz supported system.


But I'm getting the same issue on my personal server with with clean 3.24 build, so I thought it might be a bug.
