TOPIC: latest comment module, problem with submenu

Hi everyone!

I'm using the latest comment module, I've it on my home page( and it has worked great until yesterday, when I've created a submenu).

Yesterday I added a new slide menu, so now my menu is composed by:

menu
- submenu

When someone insert a comment in the "submenu" article, the latest comment appears regularly in the specific module of the homepage, but if I click on it(to be redirected) I get an error(page not found) because the url that he writes is wrong, and it's composed by

www.url.com/index.php/ menu?joscclean=1&comment_id=21#josc21

instead of:

www.url.com/index.php/ menu/submenu?joscclean=1&comment_id=21#josc21
(that works correctly if I wrote it manually)

So the problem is that he doesn't add the address of the submenu "submenu" in the url.

How can i fix?!

Thanks everyone and sorry but I'm not native english speaker

Ps. I'm using the 4.00 beta2 version

You need to completely clear your sh404SEF cache when you edit Menu Items in Joomla.

How are you making the menu? Is it with an extension, or did you code it in the template with MooTools/JavaScript? Because it sounds like a problem with that. I use a template that has pulldown "Suckerfish" menus (NOT an extension) and it works 100% for me.

Hi,

I don't know anything about the sh404SEF

For the slide menu I'm using an extension called "Dc slide menu".

Thanks for the help.

Oh - you don't use sh404SEF? Sorry - my mistake

I think it's a problem with Dc slide menu. I don't really understand though - you have a menu item that points directly to an article?

I think this "Dc slide menu" is using a non-standard, custom way to structure your Joomla site. I'll have to test and try this out myself to see what you mean. I'll let you know shortly.

hi and thanks for your time.

Yes, i've a menu item that points directly to an article, because I need to display an article...Is that wrong?!

Have a nice day

I'm not sure... I think it's OK, I've just never done it before. That may be related to the problem, I will remember to test Dc slide menu with an item that goes directly to an article.

Thank you very much, waiting for your help to know how to fix the problem.

Just an update. No I havn't fixed it yet though.

It appears to be a problem with the Dc Slide Menu, it does non-standard things and the Joomla native SEF doesn't pick it up. Maybe.... no, it must be the 'Latest Comments' module to blame - it has failed on SEF links in the past.

I will have to install a new test website and simulate it first, hopefully its an easy bug in Latest Comments. Can I ask you though, just so I get as close to you as possible (you already said JoomlaComment4 Beta 2):

- What version of Joomla are you running?
- Which version of DC Slide Menu is installed?

If you could let me know, i'll give it a try and post back when I find the cause and how to fix it.

Hi,

thanks for your help and for your time.
I'm using joomla 1.5.13 and DC Slide Menu 1.5.0

I want to let you know that maybe I've resolved the problem with a kind of trick.
Do you remember that the problem was the fact that he didn't add the address of the submenu "submenu" in the url?

So I've inserted in the submenu item, in the field "alias", the missing line "/submenu" (where submenu is the name of the X page that I want to display) so that now he adds the line /submenu automatically

www.url.com/index.php/ menu/submenu?joscclean=1&comment_id=21#josc21

instead the old and the wrong

www.url.com/index.php/ menu?joscclean=1&comment_id=21#josc21

I hope I've explained myself well

I don't know if it's a kind of "patch", but it seems work fine for me!
