Hello

you have this:

1. these associated menu items
somepath/menu-alias1.html
somepath/menu-alias2.html

2. that are pointing to a FLEXIcontent category views

3. You do not have this URL (this may not switch to menu item)
somepath/menu-alias1/category/44-some-cat-alias.html

but instead you have URLs like in -1-, and they do not switch to each other ?

I have index.php/en that is EN default and is a Category Blog menu item. It is associated to index/fr. The problem is that the language switcher won't switch to associated menu item. If you click on the logo it brings you back to the home where the language switcher should bring you.

If I disable all menu items associated to the same category, it works. All menu items and categories are translated and associated.

Thanks again.

I did some tests and it's not a FLEXIcontent bug but a Joomla one. I've setup a fresh install without FLEXIcontent and the problem occurs.

Try switching languages from the home, it brings you to News or Nouvelles: flexi.vox-dev.com

I'll report this to Joomla.

I reported this to Joomla and they seem to say that it's just how Joomla works. I guess I'll have to check for a workaround.

Hello

so you have 2 menu items for NEWS category
- HOME English
- also an EN menu item A (that is associated with menu item -B-)

so you have 2 menu items for NOUVELLES category
- HOME French
- also a FR menu item B (that is associated with menu item -A-)



and language switcher does this

if you are
- home EN -switches to- FR Menu Item B

or if you at
- home FR -switches to- EN Menu Item A



but you expected / wanted:
home EN => home FR
home FR => home EN

right ?

Exactly.

But as like I said, this is not a FLEXIcontent issue. The problem occurs on a fresh Joomla install (like on the demo flexi-vox-dev.com). But if you can help, please go ahead!

Thanks.
