Excel Files and PURLS

We will most likely be eliminating the ability to create multiple url formats as it seems to just confuse some people. Currently the default is firstname_lastname. However, the software lets you create multiple url address formats like firstname-lastname or firstname.lastname, etc. The PROBLEM is that when you set up the url as one that is anything BUT the default, the changes are NOT reflected in the database excel file.

The challenge can then be that you decide to print up a bunch of postcards with a personalized URL that is something like www.domain.com/Name1-Name2.html BUT, if you actually used the EXCEL file for your mail merge, you'll be getting URLS that are formatted as www.domain.com/Name1_Name2/.

This issue will be addressed in the next release and a patch will be made available for all users of the full system and the corresponding modules.
