Joomla! Discussion Forums

Hi,
please have a look at: http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic,175396.0.html. If an url is parsed and you do not use an item-id every time the parameters of the default-menu-item used (router.php function parse()). The only solution I imagine is, to append all additional parameters to your link.

This should be :



If you only want to redirect to the active component you don't need to add the option to the route, doing so will result in  unwanted behavior.

Note the false in in the JRoute function, this is needed to make sure the route is not espaced for xhtml compilance.

I really enjoy the new way of routing but... be careful on how you create URLs!

To my knowledge (RFC 1738, http://www.faqs.org/rfcs/rfc1738.html), the usage of an unescaped ":" in an URL is forbidden!
So, ...&id=38:ArticleName&... is not a valid URL!

Here is an extract from the RFC:


Just for completeness, if you try to pass the URL through Joomla's JFilterOutput::stringURLSafe function, all the ":" are removed, as expected!

Anyway, really a good job!

There are many applications that use unencoded ':' in their URL's for none-schema specific parts. Even Google creates URL's with unencoded ':' in it. I'm personaly not too worried about the RFC.

Use Apache mod_rewrite set to yes

@jinx,
thnx for the improvemant , I see most aspects are covered but 1 of them either I was not able to find an answer to or was never asked.

If I have a module that outputs the links to news items , I need these links to open full article page ,
put as you know the engine ads Itemid1 to the end of the link ,
I have tried to make a fake item id like we used to do in j1.0 but no go ,


I tried this


like you mentioned in the beginning but no go if SEF is on or OFF , I get 500 error

this works but only with SEF off



both of them are called by




could you please advise what original news item link output should be used

ok fund a working link for article but still itemid1 is being added

It is a good idea to use threads that are less than 3 months old - this one has been over a year since the last post.

In modules - use this approach to get a good URL for an article:



Best approach is to see what core is doing, and follow suite. Hope that helps,
Amy

Thnx Amy , I was hoping somone will answer and just did not want to open
new thread with same question

it seems I also fund a way to get a fake on , here it is and works perfect with sef on off and 404Sef



please let me know if this should not be used or it might cause some errors or slowdown the installation in any way

thank you again, I will also try your fix

So i've been told I'm having what appears to be an ItemID problem. Regardless I need to fix this quickly.

For example, when clicking on a link associated with a article in mod_latestnews, the article is displayed ~below~ the rows/modules located in the center column, but that is not what I need to happen. The article should display top-to-bottom in the center column.

The same problem occurs with any module that displays an article including: mod_latestnews, mod_mostread, mod_minifrontpage


From another source/person helping me to troubleshooting this problem...

1.Go to the site so the url looks like this
http://www.techmediaglobal.com/

2.Then click the link the first popular pages link in the module in the sidebar

--> Integration of MPLS with Optical Transport Networks

3.Now click the home link again and look at the url
http://www.techmediaglobal.com/inde...t ... &Itemid=77

**Notice the Itemid

4. Now click or hover on any links in the latest or popular papers and you will see they now ll have the same itemid=77

The modules now will load on all these pages because the modules load based on the itemid number its assigned to it. The Itemid is what Joomla uses to decide which modules and templates need to appear on the page.... Perhaps its just a bug in the Joomla latest and popular modules.

OK, I did a quick google search and found a module that helps fix itemid problems with these 2 modules. I am not 100% sure if it is related or not... but you have a read and search around I am sure this is where the problem lies.

First: long joomla thread about this
viewtopic.php?t=125365

A module that fixes the latestnews itemid:

One other place to look at the details of this issue is a great article from Alledia

Hi, kirby!
Please check and fix the links in your message. They are somehow "shortened"
