I'm using dnn 5.1.x (.02 on one site and .04 on another) and am experiencing problems when rearranging pages. If I move a page that is a parent, the child pages do not automatically update to the new location. The only way I've found to fix this is to edit the child page settings and update the page (no changes have to be made, but update does have to be clicked).
As an example:
I have a page at portal.com/directory1/parentpage/childpage.aspx
If I change the page name of 'directory1' to 'directoryA' or if move 'parentpage' up a level (so that it's no longer a child of 'directory1'), the parent page has to be manually updated for the page address to be accessible without the renamed or deleted page, as do each of the child pages under it (it can not be found by going directly to portal.com/parentpage/childpage.aspx but can be accessed at the original portal.com/directory1/parentpage/childpage.aspx)
For a more real world example, if I wanted to remove the subdirectory USA from the following site -- maps.com/USA/California/Counties/Orange.aspx so that the page would now be -- maps.com/California/Counties/Orange.aspx) every sub page would have to be manually 'updated' via the page settings. In this example, every state would have to be manually updated, as well as every county. That's a LOT of mindless clicking!
This is either a pretty big bug (not likely), or I'm doing something WAY wrong (very likely). I'm using the stock friendly url module, and no other third party app. I've duplicated this multiple times and a restart of the app doesn't seem to reindex the pages. Any suggestions? I'm guessing that using iFinity URL Master would fix this, but I'm not positive.
If this isn't an isolated problem, it really does need to be addressed. This little quirk could potentially force me to 'update' 4000 pages on one of my sites due to a redesign of the page structure. As I said, that's A LOT of mindless clicking and a platform as mature as DNN really shouldn't have this kind of buggaboo in it.
