Yes, there is a problem and some adjustment is needed.

I do not think the new URL scheme requires us to abandon existing experiments.

At this point I am trying to minimize the number of adjustments required, for example:

If we do not need to move files around (and create symlinks), it is good - so the old scheme of saving file names in ODB lives on
If we do not need to edit every file to adjust every URL, it is good - so now that http://blah/CS/custom_page is gone (no more "CS/"), http://blah/custom_page had to be implemented
If we do not need to replace all the ODB /Alias entries, http://blah/ODB_PATH now redirects to http://blah/?cmd=odb&odb_path=ODB_PATH and all the old aliases to ODB still work

I am going through these things as I discover them with Suzannah.

The biggest problem so far we have seen is with some pages having incorrect form submission
settings - some forms use the wrong form "action" attribute, which worked before, we do not know
why, and definitely does not work now. This is not something that we can fix on the midas side.

K.O.
