Standard com_content module, how to link to FLEXicontent was created by dc006

Hi, I've just installed FLEXIcontent on my site, bind all articles and did basic set-up.

I use various modules on my site to display articles. Particularly News Show Pro GK5.
I was thought that modules that loads articles from com_content will work with FLEXIcontent as normal.
However article links (from within module) points to com_content display instead of FLEXIcontent. I was thought that your router will take care of this and will display all content as Flexicontent from now on.

So How do I go about this? Do I have to use FLEXIcontent specific modules only?

2 ways :
1 use flexicontent module like flexiscroller or universal module
2 overide your template module and change link programmation like com_content to com_flexicontent

Thank you for posting prompt reply.

In the template module I use, the article link is constructed as follow

Code:

$link = ($item['id'] != 0) ? JRoute::_(ContentHelperRoute::getArticleRoute($item['id'], $item['cid'])) : JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_users&view=login');

Would you be able to suggest quick rewrite of this code so the $link would point to com_flexicontent ?

Hello what you need is described in detail here:
How to generate FLEXIcontent SEF URLs in custom code

At top of the file (to execute it once, although placing it inside item link generating loop will harm very little)

Code:

require_once (JPATH_ADMINISTRATOR.DS.'components'.DS.'com_flexicontent'.DS.'defineconstants.php');
require_once(JPATH_SITE.DS.'components'.DS.'com_content'.DS.'helpers'.DS.'route.php');
require_once(JPATH_SITE.DS.'components'.DS.'com_flexicontent'.DS.'helpers'.DS.'route.php');

and for your links (inside the loop):

Code:

$link = ($item['id'] != 0) ? JRoute::_(FlexicontentHelperRoute::getItemRoute($item['id'], $item['cid'])) : JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_users&view=login');
