How default menuitem works?

Just to help if someone found this issue, a option to fix this would be create menu items to the categories in the directory

i already do that with hide menu .. better compatibility

Thinking aloud, maybe the problem is that directory would be better as a category template or options, because now it looks like more work to mantain but a functionality not too far from the category view. IMHO

Hello

you may try v2.1.3 r1837 BETA

docs.google.com/uc?export=downl ... VNJTHQ5V00

-- it has several enhancements regarding default menu item (2 out of 4 are included in r1824):
1. allows not using a default item for content types
(after you install you may re-edit/re-save the content types to re-enable (if you need it the default menu item) )

2. [bug-fix] use category from menu item for item links like /item/ that do not have menu item in their url

3. can select directory menu item for categories that do not have a menu item to themselves (directory menu item must point to the category's parent to be auto-selected)

4. can select parent category menu item for categories that do not have a direct menu item
