Hi there,

When I enable Strict URLs it will prevent to display news from news channel generated by a template below (I’m getting 404 Page Not Found):

{if segment_2 == ''}
                     {exp:channel:entries channel="news"}
                        <h1 class="orange">{title}</h1>
                        {news_summary}
                        <a href="/index.php{page_uri}">Read more</a>
      




                     {/exp:channel:entries}
                {if:else}
                     {exp:channel:entries channel="news"}
                        <h2 class="bigorange">{title}</h2>
                        {news_body}
                        <a href="/index.php/nm">Back to news</a>
                     {/exp:channel:entries}
                {/if}

Any tips how to get this fixed?

Well - it looks like it is related to the template rather than channel.

I have a template named news_temp and when I try to use http://www.mydomain.com/news/ it gave me 404 instead reading data from news_temp

Any clue?

Thanks

What happens with http://www.mydomain.com/news/news_temp?

Same - 404

So if you are viewing that template, and hit the “View Template” button, it 404’s? 

Does it work if you remove the top conditional?

Are you trying to create one template that shows both the index view and detail view?

Correct - when I want to preview template it return 404 and it goes to strange URL with /site/news instead /news

Here you have the site with strict URLs disabled:
http://www.childrensmedgroup.com/index.php/nm/

and here with strict URLs enabled:
http://www.childrensmedgroup2.com/index.php/nm/

any .htaccess rules in place?

Is the path the erroring site rendering correct (all site urls etc appropriate?)

Did you try removing the conditional

Do you have a firm understanding of what the Strict URL setting does, and how EE works with URLs?

I’d suggest inspecting the general config area to see where that /site/ segment is coming from.

htaccess file:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
        RewriteEngine On

        # Removes index.php from ExpressionEngine URLs
        RewriteCond $1 !\.(gif|jpe?g|png)$ [NC]
        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
        RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
        RewriteRule ^(.*)$ /index.php/$1 [L]
</IfModule>

I know how EE works with URLs and what are strict URLs. Part of that site is pure CI 😉

There is nothing with /site in the General Configuration. It looks like some kind of leftover from EE upgrade from 1.7.x to 2.5.x :\

I’d pull the htaccess, turn on the output profiler/template debugger etc.

That site segment is the issue I think - gotta figure out where that is. Check your config file too.

OK, found from where /site is coming up on template previews. All those templates are in the ‘site’ template group.

Is it possible to move ‘news’ template from that group somewhere “outside”?

You can choose to copy an existing template when you create a new one.

Edit: ‘site’ template group is a default group, so it shouldn’t matter. Also cannot find any option to move a template “outside” of any group.

What shouldn’t matter? 

Sorry I misunderstood - I thought you had a template group called ‘outside’.

All templates need to live in template groups.

If you run strict URLs the template group names need to be valid and in the URL.

I think when you have ‘site’ template group as a default group it shouldn’t matter to have it in the URL like

http://www.childrensmedgroup2.com/index.php/site/meet_us/

vs

http://www.childrensmedgroup2.com/index.php/meet_us/

it always should to search for a template in that default group.

Am I correct?

But look at that:

http://www.childrensmedgroup2.com/index.php/site/nm/

vs

http://www.childrensmedgroup2.com/index.php/nm/

If you have strict urls turned on then yes. If not, then no.
