I have a strange problem with ACL and template assignment not working for non-SEF link.
I have a site that I am using SEF on, my access control works perfect, and I can change templates for nav items using the template manager. But, if i use the non-sef link from the menu item, I can see the content that is supposed to be for registered users only. If I then use the non-sef link from the menu item I can then see the content. In addition when using the non sef link the templates I've assigned don't switch, it uses the default.
This came to light because I am trying to clone the site but on the new site am not using sef and i needed to test the content.
Any ideas?
