Language switcher and Category Blog menu item

Hi,

When I use the language switcher with a Category Blog or FLEXIcontent Category menu item, it's not routing to the good menu item.

I use FLEXIcontent 3.0.7 and Joomla 3.4.3. No other extensions.

What seems to be creating the conflict is that on the home page I use Category Blog menu item to show the last news (only one). I also have a Category Blog menu item with for all the news. Then language switcher switches to the all news from the home in both languages. I've tried with FLEXIcontent Category menu item with the same results.

I hope my explanation is right. Thanks for your help.

Hello

what is a "good" menu item ?

do you meant that you have associated the menu items, but the associated menu item is not used ?

the menu item when switching is done like this:
- if menu item associations are used then this have priority,

then if not we do a best match which is
- correct access level, correct language and is a menu item of the closest parent category

if it is the closest parent category then it is what the code intended to do

Yes by good menu item, I mean the associated menu item, sorry for the confusion.

Every association is set but it does not behave like you are saying. Right now it's switching to another menu item that is set with the same category.

Hello

the associated menu item will be used if it is direct match of the view,
e.g.
somepath/menu-alias1.html
will switch to associated menu item
somepath/menu-alias2.html


-- if you are viewing a some FLEXIcontent item , and you switch language then the associated FLEXIcontent item is used with an auto selected menu item, that best matches the item

- in item view the (-LAST-) selected menu item of course it does not depend on the associations of menu items,
e.g. you can assoicate menu items of different components, of categories that the item does not belong too etc,

menu item assoications if for switching menu items, and not for switching items, best match menu item is always applied, so does it happen in Joomla article view too

If I unpublish any Category Blog menu item that uses the same category, the language switcher works as expected. I also tried changing the Category Blog menu item to FLEXIcontent Category menu item and the same thing happens.

I've tested it on a Joomla site with the same menu items but without FLEXIcontent and the language switcher works fine.

Thanks again for your help.
