    Custom URL rewrite without ID doesn't work

    Hi,

    If I have custom URL rewrite rules for sections or categories, it seems that the links do not work properly unless if I add section/category ID to the rule, e.g. custom rule:
    section/[section_title]/
    doesn't work but rule:
    section/[section_id][section_title]/
    does work. I just try to beautify the URL's without having the ID's in the URL since I don't really have to worry about section/category naming clashes.

    Cheers, Jarkko

    Unfortunately, section ID's are required in order to function properly.

    It's not 'broken'. It's by design.

    At least there's an indication this will be fixed: Have sections just as domain.com/[section_name]
    (Even if it's not considered a bug, it's currently an inconsistent design decision; other settings, like categories, work without IDs.)
