I’m working on a site that makes extensive use of the Pages URI field. When I load a web page or edit the entry the Pages URI field is empty, but the field is not empty when I load it from the revisions tab by loading a previous version, then loading the current version.

We haven’t made any recent changes to the templates, CMS software, etc.

We’re using EE 1.6.8. Upgrading to 1.6.9 isn’t an option due to management paranoia about changing the system.

Sorry, I fail to see the issue here? You can edit and save the field, can’t you?

If I use {page_uri} inside exp:weblog:entries, nothing comes up, so links don’t work.

If I edit the entry, nothing appears in the Pages URI field, even on entries that I know have a Pages URI.

How do I know the entry has a Pages URI? If I load a previous revision under the Revisions tab, the Pages URI field has the URI. If I then load the current revision, the Pages URI field has the URI.

So, the Pages URI is in the database somewhere, but it is not getting pulled up via exp:weblog:entries.

<?php
global $LOC;
$sixty_days_ago = {current_time}-5184000; // 60 days, in seconds;
$start_time = $LOC->decode_date('%Y-%m-%d %g:%i',$sixty_days_ago);
?>
{exp:weblog:entries weblog="news_articles" status="open" dynamic="off" start_on="<?php echo $start_time; ?>" disable="member_data|pagination|trackbacks"}
    <tr>
        <th scope="row"><a href="/news{exp:replace">{entry_date format="%F %j, %Y"}</a></th>
        <td>{title}</td>
    </tr>
{/exp:weblog:entries}

That stripped out some code: exp:replace find=“php/” replace=“php”

The page_uri doesn’t come up, so the links don’t work.

Being able to edit and save doesn’t help much since we have hundreds of entries.

kirkaracha,

This worked previously, correct? You’re sure there have been no additional plugins, extensions, etc?

Have you also tried starting with a blank template and a very simple tag like:

{exp:weblog:entries weblog="your_pages_weblog"}

<h3>{title}: {page_uri}</h3>

<p>{/exp:weblog:entries}

I’m having this same problem as well. {page_uri} comes up empty after upgrading to v1.6.9

The actual {page_uri} links work when i manually create them but doing the “weblog entries” outputs empty {page_uri}

A bit strange.

Any help would be great!

Can you please try the basic template Brandon suggested? kirkaracha, where are you with this?

Hello Ingmar,

Yes I have it setup with the most basic template as per Brandon’s post but still have the problem.  Any thoughts?  It’s weird because it only happens on this website.

You have the Pages module installed, of course? And you have associated a static page with the weblog entry via the “Pages” section of the Publish tab? Are you using any extensions?

I re uploaded the “modules” folder and it seems like its working now. phew. 😊

Glad to hear it 😊 Marking as “Resolved”, please post again as needed. Thanks.
