Event URL changes when event name is changed

[Bob Jonkman]

I needed to change an event name from "Raring Ringtail Release Party" to "KW Raring Ringtail Release Party" in order to differentiate it from the Toronto event. But now the URL for the event has changed, and all the references in the mailing lists, web pages, microblogs &c. are incorrect.

I expect the URL to be unchanged even when the event name is changed. Alternative: Provide a permalink with the old URL style that doesn't embed the event name in the URL.

Thanx,
-Bob.

Yes if you change the title the url will change, but the old still work since we use the id of the event, in your case :

http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-ca/2325-raring-ringtail-release-party/
http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-ca/2325-kw-raring-ringtail-release-party/

both urls are pointing to the same event.

The old style urls are still working too http://loco.ubuntu.com/events/ubuntu-ca/2325/detail/

Ah, thank you for that. I did not notice that the old URL was still
valid (obviously, I didn't check).

Sorry to have bothered you!
