Exclude nodes with a specfic path not working as expected

[davidspiola]

General

In a multi site environment it would be very handy to be able to exclude nodes with a certain nodePath. This would give you the possibility to exclude entire sites from the redirect handler, what is perfectly fine somethings.

We can add this feature for sure 👍

While this is supposed to be working by now (as per #26), it only works for some cases… The "source path" is not the expected one, at least not for me:

1. Having /sites/acmecom/imported set as "restricted"
2. I have a node /sites/acmecom/imported/foo/bar
3. I move that node to below /sites/acmecom/something

I expect no redirect to be created, but it is created. At the place the path is checked, the source is the new path of the mode to be published, not the old node path. The old URI is available at that point, but not the node path.

Fun fact: I already wondered about this back then… #26 (review)

A "workaround" for me is in #37 & #38

Can this now be assumed as resolved then?

[kdambekalns]

Well, no. My case is solved by the new feature ("workaround"), but the original idea still makes sense.

But the new configuration allows excluding nodes by path. Isn't that what was requested?

Not really.

At the place the path is checked, the source is the new path of the mode to be published, not the old node path.

And the old node path simply isn't available.
