Automatic redirect from the article view to flexi item view

Hmm... That is strange, but it does not work. For example try to open any link on my test website without word item in the address. You will be redirected to the index.php page, but it should open article.

Hello

so these are com_content article links ?

-- please PM me with such link examples,

-- if these are these menu items, then give the menu item id so that i can find them in backend

also maybe give a link to a page that contains such links

Regards

ok will PM examples

Hello

i have found the reason:
the 1-SEGMENT after CAT_MENU_ALIAS is interpreted differently in com_flexicontent SEF urls:

-- in com_flexicontent it is always a category id
but in com_content it is a article id

-- and you have changed the menu items from being com_content category menu items to being com_flexicontent category menu items



I understand that the above can be a problem in existing Joomla sites. Probably solution is to make this selectable via a parameter:


Parameter
Use /item/ in item SEF urls
- Yes
- No

Description: /item/ is appended after category menu alias to make an item SEF urls, you can select not to use this. This is needed if you are installing FLEXIcontent on an Joomla site that already has bookmarked links and links indexed by google and you want to change Joomla category menu items to be FLEXIcontent category menu items)


NOTE:
the above will not break any FLEXIcontent links using /item/

Hello

added the parameter in r1871

and modified FLEXIcontent SEF creation/routing code to support it (file: route.php at FLEXIcontent component folder)

FLEXIcontentBuildRoute() // Creates /segments/ of SEF urls

and

FLEXIcontentParseRoute() // parses(interprets) /segments/ of SEF urls

regards

Great news! Thank you very much for this. I am sure that not only I will be happy - many users want to remove /item/ from the URL. I hope it will not break existing sites running FC.

Happy coding to you
