Hello,

I am using Text separator as a submenu in the Mega menu, but the problem is that the separator is appearing as a part of my URL.

I will use as example Ja teline IV Demo menu to explain you what is the problem.

World (Category Blog)

World News (Text separator)Europe (Category Blog)U.S. Politics (Category Blog)…
Latest News (Text separator)News 1News 2…
Featured News (Text separator) Featured News

So when you click on Europe, you go to URL world/world-news/europe. I don’t want that, since I am using the Text separator menu item just for creating a nice looking menu.

I am using Ja teline IV on Joomla 1.7. Please help me solve this.

Thanks,
Ivana

Hi srdocivana

you see that url because your article is under that path World/world news/Europe

if you want change the path url you must change the path of your articles, this is not due to the text separator item

I hope was clear

Hi pavit,

Thanks for the info. Could you please tell me what is the best way to change the path of the article, without making any changes to the menu?

Thanks,
Ivana

I am upgrading to Joomla 1.7 and changing my template from Ja Teline III to Ja Teline IV. My current website has very good Google page rank and visibility in Google search results. I am affraid it would be all lost due to the change of url’s.

you’re right,

then if you want to leave your url as is , you organize your path exactly as it did in Ja TelineIII

Hi Pavit,
i´ve the same issue but not understanding your solution.

I have a menu whit a separator and the structure is:
MENU NAME -> SEPARATOR NAME -> BLOG LIST

If i click in BLOG LIST the url becomes like this: mysite.com/menu name/separator name/blog list

All the articles of BLOG LIST category are published under section MENU NAME (joomla 1.5.24)
If i don´t use the separator all urls and breadecrumbs works fine.

What´s the solution for this.

Thanks in advance.
