Hi guys,

I'm trying to build a site for my music using Focus2. In the process I've set up a zentools module on the homepage to link to some of my previous work.

robertlcamp.com

For some reason, all of the links but one ("These Mortals") redirect to the homepage. In looking at the urls I see that those redirects all have an itemid=101 appended. I've looked for info on this and found that there are workarounds but it seems to me there must be something simple I've done, or not done, that would fix this problem. I've checked the redirected articles against the working one for differences but I can't find any. I've also been all through the zentools module but if there's something in there that would help I haven't found it.

Another, much less important, problem is that regardless of what I do (change image size, change image itself, change cropping option, etc.) one of the images ("Paper Sons, Paper Daughters") is always rendered larger or smaller than the rest. There's probably an obvious reason for why this happens, but it's beyond me.

Hoping you guys have some ideas.

Thanks

Bob Camp

Hi Bob,

With the pages redirecting to the home page - are these pages in a menu on the site?

for pages to load correctly they need a menu link either as an individual article or as a blog link

Looking at the image - it looks ok for me - is this on a specific browser?

or is the problem fixed?

Hi Paul,

Sorry about the delay. I stupidly posted my questions the evening before going on a long weekend.

I just checked and it looks like your suggestion about menus is right. I'll check out the link you posted. I knew it would be something fairly simple, but I obviously still don't understand the basics of the platform well enough to figure it out on my own.

The image, the black and white one under Paper Sons, Paper Daughters, is actually bigger if you zoom in a bit. Like I said, it's not a huge deal, but I'm not sure the configuration I've currently got going in the module is what I'll end up with, and in other configurations the image size is more noticeable. I'll keep testing to see if I can figure out why it sizes that one image differently from the others.

Anyway, thanks, as usual, for your help, and apologies again for the delay.

Bob

No worries Bob about the delay in replying to me

The issue with links reloading the home page trips everybody up and is the most frequent asked question I think in the entire forum

Hi Bob,

With the images are the originals all the same size?
e.g the images uploaded prior to being resized

I tried several different images to determine if that was the problem. I even used the same images that are working fine for the other links. It didn't change anything. I also changed the order of the links to see if that made a difference. The first was was always sized a tiny bit bigger than the rest.

I know there are likely many other factors I haven't accounted for yet but it seems like there's something in the module that's affecting this.

I'll double check everything just to be sure.

Bob

Hi Bob,

Can you confirm the browser you see this in
