Unknown Placeholder on Category Generation Can't Post

I am doing an AM1 to AM2 upgrade. I have a category and sub-categories in that category that do not generate category HTML pages correctly. All of the other category pages work, but this category creates the links with an error in the URL.

http://www.websitename.com/artman/publish/[unknown%20placeholder%20$published.articlePage.url$]

All the other categories give me a correct URL.

http://www.website.com/artman/publish/Industry/Four_Good_Questions_424.html

They are all being generated from the same categoryIndex.html template.

All of the category types are regular.

Hi,

Thanks for the post! Smile

I've had a look at this for you and it's a bit tough to tell from my end what might be happening. That said, it seems that this issue is probably related to the publishing rule that creates all of your articles for you, rather than the category index template file.

I'd suggest logging into Article Manager and clicking Admin->Publishing. You'll want to click "modify" for the "Article Pages" publishing rule and have a look at the Category Filter on this page. You should find that if this one category isn't actually having it's article pages published by this publishing rule, then the placeholder you've mentioned ($published.articlePage.url$) won't actually know where to link.

If you've had a look at this rule and everything looks alright then it would probably be helpful for me to have a look at everything myself. You'll just want to fill out a Support Request with your FTP details here:

I hope this helps! Smile

Thanks I already did that -- twice. I will do a support request. I hope I do not have to wait another day for help.

Hi,

Thanks for the update!

I've had a look at this for you and it does seem that the issue here is related to certain categories being excluded from your "Article Pages" publishing rule. It seems that some specific categories are set up to be "Excluded" by this publishing rule and that's why certain articles will have no values for the $published.articlePage.url$ placeholder.

To remedy this you'll either want to create a new publishing rule just for these categories themselves (using the same placeholder name "articlePage"), or you'll want to ensure that this existing rule is set to "Include all categories".

I hope this helps! Smile

OK, I have created several new rules so I can emulate AM1 behavior.

Sure was easier to be able to do this at the Category level.

But I guess powerful is not necessarily easier.

Thanks.
