This is because blog posts are two content types, one made by the 'Blog' module, the other imported. Hence /blogs/<whoever imported> just plain won't work.

I reckon we just drop the core blog module since we're pretty overriding everything it does... It's just in the way really...

IN the mean time I've fixed Transition Voice blog and breadcrumbs for everything. TUS had same issue: Core Blog module getting in the way by making url aliases that our blogs view doesn't get...

So all issues are fixed, but the cause is present; Shall I remove the core blog module? Tested on my machine and appears ok, might be some perms/knock on issues but I reckon it's worth doing.

Does the core blog module run the local blogs though? We'll need a mix of imported and local blogs.

Are there any possible effects on the incoming SR pilot?

If not, drop the core blog module...

Core Blog module simply provides the 'Blog' CT, a /blogs/[author] view or two and a few other symantic sugar cubes. Good for beginners, we've outgrown it.

But we can replace the CT with out own and we've already overriden the views and made our own Role.... I say bin it, it's getting in the way.

As for the SR, well we're probably looking at our own new CT for that anyway - or at least modifying 'Blog post' to have another field. I don't think core Blog does anything for or against SR stuff given where we find ourselves.

status changed from assigned to closed
resolution set to fixed

Core blog removed, 'Blog' CT re-added, all perms replaced, ALL URL aliases removed (had to to clear thousands of old blog aliases that aren't needed) and ALL URL aliases added again...

Done I think, closing.
