EasyBlog Latest Posts Module generating independent URL

Hi there,
I have things set up so as the URLs of posts take the 'simple' form. This is working fine when accessing posts via a menu item, however when you access posts via the Latest Posts module, it takes a different form - using /easyblog/[article-name] instead of [menu]/[article-name]

This is causing duplication of the URLs, and I have less control over the /easyblog/ pages as they appear to be linked to the home page, which is very different to the rest of the site in terms of visible modules, etc.

It would appear that the cause of the problem is that the module is using the home page (and its corresponding menu item) as it's root, rather than the relevant menu item.

So the original non-SEF URL via the module is:

index.php?option=com_easyblog&Itemid=101&id=1&lang=en&layout=listings&view=categories

Where Itemid 101 is the home page.
While via the menu item the non-SEF URL to the same page is:

index.php?option=com_easyblog&Itemid=117&id=2&lang=en&view=entry

Where Itemid 117 is the menu item 'News'.
How can I amend the module's code so as it starts generating URLs using the same rules as the menu item - so Itemid 117 rather than 101?

Thanks in advance for your help.
Chris
