Component link doesn't work properly

Post by chlee1911 » Sun Feb 01, 2015 3:56 pm

Hi,

My site is at www.comefixthis.com

I have added extension for Easy Blog and Moset Tree into JSN Decor template.

However, when I display Easy Blog on the main page, the links to the blog doesn't link correctly.

For example, the first blog "Fix That Door Knob" should link to
"http://comefixthis.com/index.php/home-s ... -door-knob"

Instead of:
"http://comefixthis.com/index.php/entry/ ... -door-knob"

I have tried looking through parameters to edit as administrator, but can't find anything relevant to adjust the link. Can you please help?

Is "Home Services Guide" an article category or does it come from the menu entry?

You do not need to have index.php as part of the URL if you follow these instructions how to set up SEF URLs:
https://docs.joomla.org/Enabling_Search ... EF%29_URLs

Home services guide comes from menu entry.

What I have done is to
(1) Create a new module to display Blog entries
(2) Link this module to the Menu item "Home" and display this module at the bottom of page
(3) Hence the latest Blog rolls are at the bottom of the main page
(4) when I click on the Blog rolls,
It should direct me to "http://comefixthis.com/index.php/home-s ... -door-knob"

However, now it is directing me to "http://comefixthis.com/index.php/entry/ ... -door-knob"

However can I adjust that link and the directory it points to?

Can you configure a menu item to use in the Module?

Turn off SEF in Global Configuration so you can see the real urls. Easier to trouble shoot. Turn SEF back on when your finsihed.
