Article Category URL Generation

[@rjen]

No, the short names are only used when displaying articles and categories. Edits are always on ID

[@rjen]

In addition to this, my menu is active if I use the "article" URL, but isn't active with the page's number.

That should not really matter: if you have a short name all the standard generated url's point to the page with the short name, not the ID.
And on the 'edit' page the URL is way different: instead of page it has the action: tpadmin, which highlights the TinyPortal menu option

Which confirms I can make the tab active, just not with the page's ID.

I am assuming you are using some code to do that, like in the mod I shared.
I updated that mod to work with both Short text and ID links. See below code for an example

Code Select Expand
