I have a channel for users to add their own entry via a Safecracker form, it is a live site and there is now 800 odd entries – about 300 of these have slipped by without URL titles, which you can imagine is causing trouble...

Blank URL title:

In some instance, it seems that my URL titles have not came through – they are blank. Would this signal a lack on Javascript in the users browser? URL title field is hidden. It all works fine when I test it with Javascript enabled, could only recreate the problem with JS disabled, no URL title comes into the fields value.

My question on this is – how do I prevent this from happening within Safecracker? These users would not understand url title field, so want to keep it hidden – which means can't user validate it.

Rebuilding the URLS using title

I have seen a few solutions on here – but none work. SQL solution leaves in special characters. PHP solution throws up an error.

If I need to rebuild all the URL titles in a Channel, how do I go about it? (I am not good with PHP or MySQL – is there an existing solution I am missing)

I am stuck with about 300 blank URLs, which would be tedious to do manually.

Thanks in advance for your help!

You'll have to test this, but MX Title Control allows you to update all entries with a pattern. You could set the URL Title Pattern to {title} and try updating that way. As always, backup first before giving it a shot
