I have a menu item calling a category, with BLOG LAYOUT:


I have a Section with a text description, where i have put a link "manually" to the category:


(observe that "&" is saved as "&" because for the JCE Extension Team the "&" is the correct way to display the & character in an XHTML document.)

Well, for Artio Joomsef the second url causes problems! The sef url will be duplicated, and will not show as "blog" layout.

sorry, i have modified the urls directly in the database, and the problem is still there. So, the problem is not caused by the "&" caracter.

I am going to continue investigating the problem.

bye

Hello,

& is a correct way how to store URLs in HTML source.
JoomSEF fully accepts this format, so I guess the problem is really somewhere else.
The URL above looks fine, so maybe you can paste also the other that seems to get duplicated. A screenshot from URL editor may help.
Also, remember to clear cache after doing changes to URLs, that is an often cause of problems.

yes, the problem is not caused by the "&" caracter.

i have opened a new thread to "re-write" the problem giving more information:

thanks
