Hi (again)!

Here is another strange (at least for me) issue that I could not find anywhere in the forum. First, the spec:

- Joomla 2.5.7
- Artio Jomsef 4.2.9 (paid)
- FaLang 1.1.6
- Breadcrumb -> native from Joomla itself

- URL : www.service2000.ca/en/appliance-repair/w...-and-washing-machine
See breadcrumb:
Home > Appliances > Type of appliance > Washer and washing machine


In some cases, I have to use "hidden" menu which are simply menu I do not link to a module but I use it to have ItemId for some pages. Of course, some of those "hidden" ItemId are simple Aliases of "real" menu items.

Now the problem is that, for the english version of the website only (french is the default language), in the breadcrumb (only), I just can't cast the URL to a SEO link. The rendered URL is www.service2000.ca/index.php?Itemid=165 instead of www.service2000.ca/en/appliances-we-service

The www.service2000.ca/en/appliances-we-service link already exist (for the main item menu not the alias one) but the breadcrumb use the alias one at this place.

I tried to add it as custom URL, to add it as Alias (in the tab Aliases), to put it in the 301. Nothing works.

Any idea???

Hi,
The correct SEF URL should be displayed, unless there's an alias menu item pointing to another alias menu item. For example:

If we have real menu item ID 100 and alias menu item ID 120, then if index.php?Itemid=120 is found, correct SEF URL for menu item ID 100 is displayed.

But if we have yet another alias menu item ID 140 pointing to menu item ID 120, then if index.php?Itemid=140 is found, only the index.php?Itemid=120 is displayed instead. JoomSEF currently doesn't follow aliases more than once. Maybe this is the case?

Try disabling SEF completely in Joomla's Global Configuration and check what URL is displayed in the breadcrumbs.

You were right! It is working now. There was only one places where it was not done correctly. Thank you!

Great. We'll also try to fix it in some future version so JoomSEF could generate correct URLs for nested aliases.
