[Solved] How to route to the main category of items was created by yopyop001

Hi,

I have a question, not sure to explain it well. Anyway, i try...

I have 2 categories C1, C2
I have 2 items I1, I2
I have 2 menus M1, M2

I1 and I2 are in C1 and C2 (C1 is the main category of I1, C2 is the main category of I2)

M1 is a menu link to flexicontent category C1
M2 is a menu link to flexicontent category C2

When i click on M1, I1, and I2 are displayed. If i click on I2 title, the cid is C1 (the current category id).

Is there a way to pass the main category of the items in the url ?

I hope it's understandable.

Regards

Yes you can use $item->catid instead of $item->catslug
The $item->catslug is current category , and $item->catid is the main category

e.g.

Code:

<a href="<?php echo JRoute::_(FlexicontentHelperRoute::getItemRoute($item->slug, $item->catslug));?>" > ...

will be:

Code:

<a href="<?php echo JRoute::_(FlexicontentHelperRoute::getItemRoute($item->slug, $item->catid));?>" > ...

Like the our support? (for a bug-free FC, despite having a long list of functions) Like the features? Like the ongoing development and future commitment to FLEXIcontent?
