Hey Rob, when using SC in edit mode, and the title of an entry is changed, the entry url title isn’t updated to match the new title. How can I make it so?

This is just how EE works, you’ll see the same results if you do this in the CP. The reason being, once a url_title has been created, your site maybe been indexed by a search engine, and now that URL they are expecting is no longer there. You have to manually edit the url_title on an edit.

No, that won’t work in real time. You could write your own javascript to do it, I guess:

$(function(){
    $('input[name=title]').keyup(function(){
        $('input[name=url_title]').val( $(this).val().replace(/\s/g, '_').replace(/[^\w]/, '').toLowerCase() );
    });
});
