I have a site that has several menu items that are “Section Layout”. There are also secondary/child menu items that are “Category Blog Layout” pages. However if I click on a Category link on the Section Layout page it loads the default section category page, not the Category Blog Layout Page.

Here’s an example:

– Section Layout page: http://www.theobvine.com/dev/index.php?option=com_content&view=section&id=10&Itemid=74

– Click on a Category link and it loads a page like http://www.theobvine.com/dev/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&id=48:boards&layout=blog&Itemid=89&layout=default

– How can I get the Category links on the Section Layout page to load a page like http://www.theobvine.com/dev/index.php?option=com_content&view=category&layout=blog&id=48&Itemid=89

I have followed several tutorials on Joomla.org that state if you create a child level menu item that is a Category Blog Layout that it will force the Section Layout category links to load a Category Blog Layout page. That is not happening.

Is there a way I can edit this template to make the Section Layout page with category links to a Category Blog Layout page? Or do I have to create a static (non CMS driven page) that has links to each Category Blog Layout.

Here are the instructions from Joomla.org. These did not work in my case. http://docs.joomla.org/Make_a_Section_Menu_Item_drill_into_a_Category_Blog_layout
