These two issues might have something to do with customization StackIdeas did for us.

ISSUE 1: Ask a Question button
1. Select a post. The URL is correct.
2. From the post page, click the Ask a Question button. The URL is not correct.
The button automatically adds the category of the post in focus to the URL which, of course, creates a 404 error.

ISSUE 2: "index" added to main page
1. Log in
2. Open a post
3. Log out
EasyDiscuss adds "index" (not index.php) to the url. There should be nothing added to the url on logout.

Thanks for your help.
Hey Mark,

Kindly please find my response to your inquiries below:

I have applied some fixes for you on the site in the file /components/com_easydiscuss/router.php from line 235 - 246. Can you give this a try again?


ISSUE 2: "index" added to main page

This has nothing to do with EasyDiscuss actually but instead, your module displaying the logout link is adding the base64 encoded value of "L2luZGV4" which equates to "index". Please take a look at my screen shot here, http://screencast.com/t/scjxmtrYH

You might want to check the module that displays the logout link.

Hi Mark,

May I know have you made some modification with the Ask button previously? May I have your FTP as well?

Please advise.

No. I have not modified the PHP related to the Ask button or anything that would cause "index" to appear.

There is custom CSS, but that would not affect the behavior of the button in this way.

I already included the FTP access credentials, but I will do it again.

Please help. Thank you.
