Hi Ulysses,

Seems like the login credential given is not working: http://take.ms/snzok and it is possible you to provide us with your FTP access so we can further checking on this?

You can add the information needed by edit your first post in the Details section or you can just include your site's access once at http://stackideas.com/dashboard/site rather than needing to keep adding them in your replies

You should be good to enter, Fadhli

Hi Ulysses,

Thanks, the credential working now. Seems like you current URL Format For Post View was using simple http://take.ms/FxyKb

http://yoursite.com/menu/title

And according to your menu structure http://take.ms/Gb7yY and the discussion post url format will be example for a post from category arsenal

https://yoursite.com/engage/arsenal/test-1-2-3

May I know how to go to the link that you've given above? for http://www.website.com/forum/recent/blogpost is it the discussion post view?

I am looking to achieve no more than three tiers for all forums.

Here is one current example:

https://mcity.pro/engage/announcements/test-again-url-structure

Another example without specifying a category within menu;

https://mcity.pro/engage/recent/testing-diet

What I am shooting for:

https://mcity.pro/engage/test-again-url-structure

https://mcity.pro/engage/testing-diet

Also, if you go to engage and click on the top bar to ask a question.
You will see that the ask a question directs you to;

https://mcity.pro/engage/recent/ask

Hi Ulysses,

I see, perhaps you can use the 'Use Menu ItemId ' using the engage's menu item id for the routing behavior http://take.ms/p3HmL
so its always refer to menu item id.

Fantastic.... Thanks

I appreciate you also looking into the"recent" issue.
Now I see that "ask question" leads directly to;

https://mcity.pro/engage/ask

Which means you were able to also fix this issue.
The only thing is whatever was done it now changed the top bar where it shows as "recent".
Used to go to:

https://mcity.pro/engage/recent

Instead, it leads to;

https://mcity.pro/engage/index

Which seems to be exactly the same....
Is this because I have the incorrect menu item selected?

Currently, the menu item is selected as "front page layout".

One last thing regarding the forum toolbar under the naming convention "engage".
users was disabled and not showing at one point.
I noticed that it is showing on the frontend, but disabled on the backend.

Is there another trigger that also places it on the tool bar that needs to be disabled?

Hey Ulysses,

Unfortunately the current Easydiscuss SEO routing setting is not possible to achieve what is your current requirement.

Let me explain how this 3 routing work :

Use Current Active Menu ItemId ( default )
- Imagine when you created "EasyDiscuss - frontpage layout" menu item from backend, so this menu item will appear on your site menu bar. When the user click on this menu item, all the existing EasyDiscuss link will use this menu item alias.

Use Menu ItemId Determined By EasyDiscuss
- This is what i always recommended user to configure to use this, because system will find as long as you created those menu item like "Easydiscuss - frontend layout", "EasyDiscuss - single category layout", "Easydiscuss - favorite layout", it will follow back what you set that menu alias from backend, but some time it can't fit all other user needs like you case.

Use Menu ItemId
- This allow user to put their what menu item id they want all the existing Easydiscuss URL to use this menu item.
- in other word, when you created those "Easydiscuss - frontend layout", "EasyDiscuss - single category layout", "Easydiscuss - favorite layout" from backend, the frontend URL will not follow these what you created that menu alias, because it only follow what you set that unique menu item id which is 533.

Regarding with your current requirement, I will recommended to use back what my colleague suggested to you, but need to hardcoded some URL from the PHP file in order to meet your current requirement.

You can download my attached file and replace into your current template override path JoomlaFolder/templates/YourCurrentTemplate/html/com_easydiscuss/toolbar/default.php

One last thing regarding the forum toolbar under the naming convention "engage".
users was disabled and not showing at one point.
I noticed that it is showing on the frontend, but disabled on the backend.

Is there another trigger that also places it on the tool bar that needs to be disabled?

My colleague already help you disabled this from backend > Easydiscuss > setting > integration > Easysocial > Use EasySocial Members since you have installed Easysocial on your site, so the system will refer on this setting as well, you can check my attached screenshot here -> http://take.ms/LVlFj

Hope this will help.

Thank you all for working hard to help with the two tickets I had open.
As well as thoroughly explaining the article routing section.

Much Appreciated!
