Template route not generating correct URLs

Question

I followed Boyink's tutorial to the letter but still can't get template routes to work.

My multi-entry template is located at company/people. My single entry template is at company/person.

In the Template Route manager, I have /company/people/{bio:alpha_dash} for the `company/person template.

Multi-entry template link code:

<a href="{route="company/people" bio="{url_title}"}">

Single-entry template channel entries tag:

{exp:channel:entries
    channel="people"
    limit="1"
    require_entry="yes"
    dynamic="no"
    url_title="{segment:bio}"
    disable="categories|category_fields|member_data|pagination"}

All of the links in the multi-entry template look like: /company/%7Broute=

I don't understand why the URL's are not getting generated correctly.

Any help is appreciated.

I can't think on anything else than a syntax error. For now, you can use a root relative link:

<a href="/company/people/{url_title}">

It looks like some " or } is missing somewhere. Maybe some javascript? Or some CSS rule? Try to look for them or to replace the " by ' inside the {route}:

<a href="{route='company/people' bio='{url_title}'}">

You can also, use the good old {url_title_path}:

<a href="{url_title_path='company/people'}">
