Hi All, I have spent an age trying to sort this out:( Help please.
I have 4 articles written, all are in a category called slideshow items same as the demo site.
I have the images showing correctly on the home page with the titles as should be.
The articles are specific to the slide show. There is no direct menu link from any menu.
When I click on the slide show images on the home page I get taken to the home page and not to the article.
Any suggestions would be great thanks

Sorry should have said i am not using the K2

Hi

Reloading the home page with a different url is issues arising from no itemid

For Joomla to work correctly there needs to be a menu link on the system

Joomla itemid along with some other functionality, tells Joomla what modules the requested article or component should load/display. This usually works great, but when a component or article has no menu item, and therefore no itemid, Joomla assigns a default value of 1.

As Itemid=1 is commonly the front page, Joomla will reload the front page, the url will change but the content of home page will display.

With Search Engine urls enabled the itemid is still used but hidden.

Something I'm writing for the blog

With solution being create menu links

The solution is to publish a menu item for the content that is being loaded by the module. The menu item does not need to display on the site but the menu link does need to be enabled, commonly the menu is called a hidden menu e.g. it exists on the system but does not display.

Thanks Paul, as always great support, I should be able to solve it from here, I look forward to the blog post

You're welcome

Cheers
Paul
