OK, here is the deal: JA University comes with the “JA Side News” configured to display Joomla articles. However, I need it to display K2 Articles instead.

However, when I change to K2 articles and choose the category I want to use, the URL from the JA Side News is different from the URL from the blog itself.

From the front page, when I click the article I get:

http://mysite.com.br/index.php/component/k2/item/29-article-name

However, when I am in the K2 sample blog and click the same article I get:

http://mysite.com.br/index.php/blog-name/item/29-article-name

I need that JA Side News point to “blog-name” and not to “component/K2”. How do I do that?

Hi Cmart02,

I checked our demo and it is working well. PM me admin account and ftp account. I’ll have a look and help you out.

Thanks, I have just PMed you with the credentials. I am afraid I cannot send FTP account, but if you tell me what to do, I will do it.

EDITED:

I can see what is going on now. The link that results in what I want has the menu item id appended to it. However, from the Side News does not append this ID to it and I don’t know how to accomplish that. any hints?

HeR0,

I managed to solve the problem via htaccess like so:

RedirectMatch /component/k2/(.*) http://www.epirus.com.br/blog-epirus/$1

By writing part of the URL, it will redirect to the section I want and avoid the problem with duplicate content under the same site, with different trees.

I don’t think the template is doing that, although you say it is… but it should.

thanks
Robert

Hi Cmart02,

Glad to here that you have fixed that issue. However, pls check out thread http://www.joomlart.com/forums/topic/ja-side-news-more-info-links-broken/ . Hope that can help you resolve that issue without using redirection.

To be honest, I did not understant the idea of an invisible menu. After all, the Blog Menu points to the exact same category as JA News. Is this a better solution than redirect?
