New and old categories Joomla navigation

Hello

>So, question is, how do i get the flexi category view without having to change the selected menu item to link to that of the flexi component.

why this is "URGENT" ?

this is not a bug, data corruption or security related,
it is our intended behaviour to allow Joomla category view instead of re-directing to FLEXIcontent category view
- so it is not "urgent"
- we could add "re-routing" the same way as we do for item view (but it will be OFF by default settings),
if we are convinced it will be useful for a good percentage of web-sites, can you argue on the usefulness of this ?

ok, an obvious reason to do this is to better support installing on existing web-sites that already have many menu items,
and ... you don't want to edit all of them to change them to FLEXIcontent category view type because they are too many !

if the menu items are not too many you can just edit them

sorry about the urgent part but its the one thing im trying to sort out before making site live

i just thought that such already existed but i do understand but i really do like and prefer the flexicontent category view since it has the auto read more feature whereas the original joomla cat view shows the articles in full.
I was seeking for an easy was for anyone using the site to be able to post articles or the other administrators

for me isn't not a good solution because :
- we lost all override option
- we lost optimisation
=> user can take a little time to change link type it realy better to use All feature of FLEXIcontent

Hi, but since my site is new, can i not still use flexicontent category view?
My only problem is that, when i do so, it seems to break the site and gives me the same issue mentioned above.
It adds the category id number into the url making the selected content display at the bottom of on the home page, if i use a different developer's module

sorry i don't understand your problem ...
if you want to use flexicontent with all option you need ot use it correctly
about your module error ... make a better description
but we have th universal flexicontent module ... you can display all item with scope and powerfull filtering system try it

Hello

if you want to use flexicontent with all option you need ot use it correctly

ok this is a feature request to redirect the Joomla category view to FLEXIcontent item view, which makes sense because existing sites will work without updating their menu items

I have added this new enhancement issue:
github.com/FLEXIcontent/flexicontent-cck/issues/563

but the bottom line is that you can not use it now as it is not implemented
- your only option for now is to edit your category menu items,
and dont change title or alias but only click to change the type of menu item, and select type "FLEXIcontent category" and then select the same category ... and save
