ArticlePlugin hijacks the Page Not Found if the URL matches the alias

[eprochasson]

Hi,

my blog has the alias news/

I have a dead page name whatever_news/whatever. The Article plugins shortcut the 404 and instead redirect to the blog. I haven't found a fix yet.

I think the culprit is the line:

if ($alias && strpos($search,$alias) !== false)

from articlerouter.class.php (around line 60). strpos is a bit too lose and will match pretty much anything. Shouldn't we try to match the actual URL of the blog?

Thanks for reporting this. It looks like that is likely the case

@eprochasson Can you confirm this is occurring using 1.7.3-pl on Revo 2.2.10-pl? I cannot reproduce.
