[drupal-devel] [bug] xtemplate mission does not work with an alias

[Anonymous]

 Project:      Drupal

 Component:    theme system

-Status:       duplicate
+Status:       patch

This was not fixed by the patch to the other issue.  What needs to
happen here is:
variable_get("site_frontpage", "node") needs to become
drupal_get_normal_path(variable_get("site_frontpage", "node"))

I'm not on a workstation where I can post a real patch at the moment,
but this is a very simple change, so I'm changing the status.

When using xtemplate, and setting "xtemplate_mission" to a value (under
"Message on front page" on /admin/system/themes/xtemplate), the mission
does not appear if the /admin/system "Default front page" is set to a
url alias.

So, if the front page should be set to "node/view/8" for example, and
there is a url alias for that node (say: "index.html"), then the
mission will not show up.

The culprit code is in xtemplate.theme

[?php  // only parse the mission block if we are on the frontpage ...
  if ($_GET["q"] == variable_get("site_frontpage", "node") && ($mission
= variable_get("xtemplate_mission", "edit mission"))) {
    $xtemplate->template->assign("mission", $mission);
    $xtemplate->template->parse("header.mission");
  }
?]

_GET["q"] does not contain the alias ("index.html"), but the original
node ("node/view/8")

Of course, the workaround is easy (put the node and not the alias as
the front page)

However, it is best to be consistent across the entire system, and
treat the alias exactly as the original node.
