Greetings,
Thanks for the great product.
I am having issues using SEF urls with the News Display (mod_s5_news_display).
url:
http://www.ozaccess.com/NEWI have set $live_site to /NEW in the configuration.php
When SEF is off and I click any of the top 4 News Display stories, I am forwarded to a new page
eg:
http://ozaccess.com/NEW/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=336:perth-western-australia&catid=35:news-displayor:
http://ozaccess.com/NEW/index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=335:sydney-harbour-bridge&catid=35:news-displayThis seems to work as expected.
Note: When set like this with SEF off, I lose the 'News Display' module at the top, when viewing a linked article...
When I set SEF to on and I click any of the top 4 News Display stories, I am forwarded to a new page
eg:
http://ozaccess.com/NEW/component/content/article/35-news-display/336-perth-western-australia.htmlor:
http://ozaccess.com/NEW/component/content/article/35-news-display/334-nitmiluk-national-park.htmlThis seems to work as expected.
Note: When USED like this with SEF on, I lose the 'News Display' module at the top, when viewing a linked article...
However the issue:
With SEF set to 'on' and having used the 'Home' menu button, the home page url becomes::
http://ozaccess.com/NEW/home.htmlThen, if you click any of the four 'News Display' linked articles, the url becomes:
eg:
http://ozaccess.com/NEW/home/35-news-display/336-perth-western-australia.htmlor:
http://ozaccess.com/NEW/home/35-news-display/334-nitmiluk-national-park.htmlNow the article linked is opened on the 'Home Page' not a 'new page'
and the 'News Display'is still being displayed, but with no images.
also the 'thumbnail images' for the 'News Display' are missing.
Im guessing, its not suppose to behave that way, and the links should open on a new page.
I have read through the forum and saw a post that suggested this may help:
Appending this:
if ($mitem->name == "Home") {
$mitem->link = "";
After this:
if ($s5_check_itemid > 1) {
$mitem->link = "";
}
Around line 107 of the s5_no_moo_menu.php
I have tried that but it made no difference for my issue...
I'm out of ideas, and dont really want to hack away at the template as my understanding of it is not that deep.
This install was preformed with Site_Shaper_Sportopolis.zip
Thanks, hoping someone can help...
Kind regards
Rick
