Yes, this is what i suggested but you did without parameter. So now your solution is hardcoded inside the PHP files for all categories.
(Now all categories are forced the same menu item id for their items)

What i suggested by the parameter is to all to have different forced menu item id per category and also by leaving the parameter blank we make it optional too.

Anyway your proposition makes sense and i will add this parameter to both category and module.

Hi,

There's another way, if I may.

Sometimes mod_flexicontent (in homepage) does not place the right Itemid in the url. I have of to force this regulation by inspiring me of the code of ggppdk.

At first by modifying the file modules/mod_flexicontent/mod_flexicontent.xml

Code:

<param name="force_curr_itemid" type="radio" default="0" label="FLEXI_FORCE_CURR_MENU_ITEMID" description="FLEXI_FORCE_CURR_MENU_ITEMID_DESC">
			<option value="0">FLEXI_NO</option>
			<option value="1">FLEXI_YES</option>
		</param>
        	<param name="forced_itemid" type="text" default="" size="3" label="FLEXI_FORCED_ITEMID" description="FLEXI_FORCED_ITEMID_DESC" />

Two parameters: the one asking if we need to force Itemid and the other one, in case of positive answer, which Itemid must be forced.

Then the file modules/mod_flexicontent/helper.php

Code:

// Forced ItemID
		$force_curr_itemid = (int)$params->get('force_curr_itemid', 0);
        	$forced_itemid = (int)$params->get('forced_itemid');
		$final_itemid = ($force_curr_itemid) ? $forced_itemid : 0;

And

Code:

$lists[$ord]['featured'][$i]->link = JRoute::_(FlexicontentHelperRoute::getItemRoute($row->slug, $row->categoryslug, $final_itemid));

Code:

$lists[$ord]['standard'][$i]->link = JRoute::_(FlexicontentHelperRoute::getItemRoute($row->slug, $row->categoryslug, $final_itemid));

In this way I am not dependent any more on the active itemid... the module can be placed somewhere and a pointer towards the other one with no problem at all... while keeping the regulations of the itemid of destination.

yes i was thinking to re-enabling the parameter to force a specific menu item id for the module, if you do not force a specific then the FLEXIcontent routing will select the "closest" match.

I have opened an issue not to forget:
Options will be:
a. force specific
b. use current if pointing to FLEXIcontent
c. auto select best match
