Adv Link Plugin for JCE not working correctly

Hi, I am on Joomla 3.2 and latest FC beta version. In addition I am using JCE and the Adv Link Plugin for FC. Normally it worked in a way that if a link to a item was created and the item's category had a category view link the link to the item used the category view menu link. This behaviour stopped. Now the item link just shows the item without any modules assigned.

Hello

so wrong menu item is selected ?

can you check that
the content type of the article has a valid default menu item that is not a FLEXIcontent menu item ?

if so select a proper default menu item per content type and let it be tried AFTER other options

or disable the default menu item per content type (disable is possible since r1826 and it is also the default behavior to avoid confusion)

I do not know if I understand correctly, but I have no content menu items (article or category views) that link to com_content. Only com_flexicontent

Hello

i think the problem is with FLEXIcontent menu item selection and not with the JCE plugin

please update to r1837 and retest:
docs.google.com/uc?export=downl ... VNJTHQ5V00

it fixes issue with default menu item per content,

e.g. a random FC or non-FC menu item in content type (as content type's default menu item),
will prevent the category menu item from being selected

I have installed r1837 and it is still not working.

Ok will test this locally and this in your site, please first answer this:

Which menu item is selected, when you create the link?

-- normally (before) the MENU ITEM with item's category was selected, right?

now which menu item is selected ?,

-- the reason that modules do not appear is because of wrong menu item being selected, right ?

Example:

I want to link to (category view):
www.muenstermann.com/de/uebersic ... osten.html

JCE puts in the following link (category view with menu item alias "neuigkeiten", category id is 199):
index.php?option=com_flexicontent&view=item&cid=199:neuigkeiten&id=1190:45-filterkoepfe-fuer-den-nahen-osten&Itemid=543

Clicking on the link in leads to:
www.muenstermann.com/de/site-con ... osten.html

There is actually no menu item selected!

Hello

i see that the default menu item 453 (/site-content/) is selected, right?

- but you want the menu item that points to category 199 to be selected, correct ?




is this menu item (that points to category 199) really selectable ?
remember discussion about
-a- access level
-b- and language
of menu item and of its parents
-c- or have associations (this menu item and its parents for language DE)




-- in short it looks like this:
the FLEXIcontent SEF url creation is called properly but the desirable menu item is not selected for some reason,




-- can i test this with the access that you sent me about language switching ?

just please send me instructions:
1. how to find the menu item in backend:
it is inside MENU "menu-name"
menu item is called "menu-item" and has ID (menu item id) nnn
2. In frontend the menu item can be found by clicking "this" and then "this"
3. How to create the link in the item form , click "there" then find category "CAT_a" then item "ITEM_a"

Regards

Yes, and this has been working before. I Have made no changes in access level.

ggppdk wrote: is this menu item (that points to category 199) really selectable ?

Yes it is.

I am going to send you a PM with all details some time today.

Hi,
I investigated a little bit further. Adding a link with the advanced link plugin for JCE creates a link like this: which is not working (item is loosing its modules in category view). Deleting the last bit makes to link work correctly again if an category view is existent. Rooney
