: SOLVED Home(mainmenu) alternating between /home and /index.php?Item=1
: mummygeek July 01, 2009, 08:54:22 AM
With Joomla SEF enabled the 'Home' link on the mainmenu either goes to:

mydomain/home   which if clicked takes me to a homepage without any enabled mods, logins any items I expect thus making navigation impossible.   :(

OR
 
mydomain/index.php?Item=1    which gets me back to the homepage looking as it should.  :)

(and mostly now - mydomain/home.html  -  which is a false homepage too.)

I've not worked out the pattern for how this is working but SEF seems to be involved. If i disable Joomla SEF there's not a problem getting back to the correct homepage.

The Breadcrumbs 'Home' link works consistently with JoomlaSEF enabled. This is in the public area of the site.

Bit of a major problem on any site I'd say - so any help appreciated

Poked around on the Joomla Forum and found this http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=544&t=335893&p=1759808#p1759808 (http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?f=544&t=335893&p=1759808#p1759808)
which sounds rather simillar.

I have *SOLVED* this problem for me - ie; my 'Home' link main menu now works - it's not scientific and may well not work for everyone but all I did was...

Change the 'Home' link alias to 'homepage' - chose to leave the main menu title as 'Home' - this alias change seems to have fixed the whole problem. Breadcrumbs works as it did before but SEF now consistently works for the 'Home' link too.

Hope this helps.
