I have a problem with com_content and the frontpage that I hope someone has a solution to.
Bear in mind that I'm using Joomla! 1.5 RC2 so if this has been fixed in RC3, just say so and I'll jump at it
Basically, my problem involves URLs. As I said in a previous post ( http://forum.joomla.org/index.php/topic,213304.0.html ), my entire website is based around my own custom mod_rewrite URLs defined in .htaccess. Due to this, it breaks Joomla! in places (I'd love a fix for this btw).
So when my URL is:
http://mydomain.com/path/somefile.html => http://mydomain.com/index.php?option=co ... w=somefile
Unfortunately, when that page is accessed, Joomla! begins to believe that the base URL is:
http://mydomain.com/path/
So now Joomla! sees every page as http://mydomain.com/path/index.php which is a 404 since /path/ doesn't exist.
Now to my current problem, which relates to all of that
I have my default link in my main menu pointing to an External Link:
http://mydomain.com/index.php?option=co ... =frontpage (&Itemid=1 makes no difference in this case)
When I access that page though, the first article is completely displayed, as it should, however the rest of them are all displayed as links under a "Read More" heading. I want every article to be displayed completely. I'm guessing the reason for this is because com_content is checking for the parameters however since it's an external link, no parameters are defined so it defaults to 1.
I can't use a link to the Frontpage Blog Layout of the articles due to the path problem. If I could, it would solve everything (actually, giving a "Base URL" configuration directive somewhere would solve everything
)Anyone?
