  News 262 should work fine. I have not seen/heard issues with file or dir based shorturls. So not sure what happens there ? Did you override the functions in userapi decode/encode perhaps that define the shorturls for news

  Thanks for replying about the News URL problem. No, I haven't modified anything in News, not even the templates, just a straight install.
  
  All the links to News articles have the same URL of
  /news
  if I set strip entry point to no they all change to
  /index.php/news
  if I turn off short urls they all get working long urls.

  FYI, the short urls issue mentioned in this thread was corrected in the Zikula 1.2.5 build cycle. See http://ci.zikula.org/ for the latest build.

  Drak, are there files I could grab out of that to fix the immediate problem with my News module links until there is an upgrade patch available.
  
  Oh, it looks like you meant that the ticket I referred to
  http://code.zikula.org/core/ticket/2520
  has been fixed but that only fixes the mistaken commented line for file based short urls.
  
  If I can't get the News links working I'm going to be forced to change URL style again, I couldn't screw up my search engine positions more if I tried.

  I believe it was just the .htaccess file, either that or you can use the patch provided at CI.

  Weird, when you enable directory based shorturls News should pick up this setting and encode/decode the shorturls just fine. You do have a section for the shorturls construction in News/Settings? The default there is "Format based on Date and Name". Could it be that you have a custom setting, that is messed up somehow?
  Or is it related to the fix mentioned above by Drak.

  Reporting back with good progress.
  
  I had looked at the URL settings in News, they were set to the default Date and Name as you said. But your answer gave me the idea to purge all permalinks. That didn't help, but then I changed to custom settings with
  

  Code

  %articleid%/%articletitle%

  
  and my News links started working!
  
  I still have one problem, the "print" icon for an an article looks to have the correct URL
  Printer/articleID/articleTitle/
  but when clicked I get a "printer friendly" page with the last five articles home text, plus a bunch of links, no matter which article the print link was on or what the URL is.
  
  I have upladed a fresh copy of the Printer theme and cleared Xanthia/pnRender compiled (not using caching) just to make sure that was ok.

  check that you don't have any template overrides in /config or you regular theme for news or the printer theme.

  Thanks for the suggestion, the News 2.6.2 ships with Printer theme override templates, so yes they were there in /thems/Printer/templates/modules/News
  
  I removed them and cleared compiled, that didn't fix the problem of multiple articles showing up.

  Thank you, that is pretty much what I had with file based urls, but I'm now using directory based urls because I like the links better. The only problem I seem to have now is the print link for News articles doesn't work correctly.
  
  I haven't been able to figure out if the print theme link problem is with the URL system, news module, my mistake, or the server environment (PHP as CGI).
  
  I'll probably just remove the print icon from the News templates and create a print stylesheet instead.
