Directing mod_mostread to display flexicontent categories was created by neubjr

I'm using the mod_mostread core joomla module to display the most active articles on my site. I edited this module to also include a link to the category of the articles.

The original link to the article automatically redirects to the com_flexicontent address; however, when I added the link to the category it is still using the com_content address. How do I change this to link automatically to the com_flexicontent category view?

I edited the function in the mod_mostread helper.php to read the following:

Code:

foreach ( $rows as $row )
		{
			$lists[$i]->link = JRoute::_(ContentHelperRoute::getArticleRoute($row->slug, $row->catslug, $row->sectionid));
			$lists[$i]->text = htmlspecialchars( $row->title );
			$lists[$i]->catlink = JRoute::_(ContentHelperRoute::getCategoryRoute($row->catslug, $row->sectionid)); 	//edited for trying to get Popular to display the category link
			$lists[$i]->hits = $row->hits;
			$lists[$i]->catid = $catid;
			$i++;
		}

so that it passes through the category link and displays it in the default.php with this:

Code:

<?php foreach ($list as $item) : ?>
	<li class="mostread<?php echo $params->get('moduleclass_sfx'); ?>">
		<a href="<?php echo $item->link; ?>" class="mostread<?php echo $params->get('moduleclass_sfx'); ?>"<?php if($params->get('showhits')) echo ' title="'.$item->hits.' '.$params->get('hitstext').'"'; ?>>
			<?php echo $item->text; ?>
		(  <a href="<?php echo $item->catlink;  ?>" class="mostread<?php echo $params->get('moduleclass_sfx'); ?>">
			category <?php echo $item->catid; ?>  )
	</li>
<?php endforeach; ?>

I basically just copied the code the way the mod_mostread file was already doing it, assuming it would be automatically redirected to flexicontent like the article address is.

What am I doing wrong so that its not kicking in the Flexicontent category view?

I'm very new to the php/sql thing, but trying to learn, so thanks for any ideas.

Hi

All the mod using com_content are not really working with Felxicontent, but Emmanuel is working on a Felxicontent module that will solve all these problems

This module should be realeased soon, so I decided to wait for the release instead trying to fix it
