Hi
I'm trying to use EB to manage all the content across my site. In my case I have a few different areas trying to use EB in different ways. Most of the areas though have a standard page layout, with a latest posts/categories area at the top of a right hand column on the template
The wiki section however I want to show in a slightly different format. Essentially putting an index of the wiki categories at the top of a right hand column (as they are most likely to be more important when someone is in that area)
I've done this by creating two different templates in the backend - one with the standard (default) view, and one with the wiki format. The relevant modules (and therefore the order) are set in the template rather than the ordering function of Joomla.
I've managed to get one page working with the wiki template - the "weather wiki" page (https://sitename.net.nz/wiki-eb), selectable from the main menu. What I'd like to have is every category and item view within the wiki use the same wiki template / layout.
If I look at one of the wiki pages that currently use the non-wiki layout, the URL is not what I'd expect to see.
So in EB there is a category structure of Weather Wiki ==>Definitions, I'd expect to see a URL like http://www.sitename.net.nz/weather-wiki/categories/definitions, but instead I see a url of https://sitename.net.nz/latest-news-blog/news-feeds/watches-and-warnings/categories/definitions.
The extra piece "latest-news-blog/news-feeds/watches-and-warnings" in the URL relates to a category structure elsewhere in the site, and I'm wondering if this is preventing me from applying the right format to the wiki entries. This extra piece in the url would have been the first thing I set up in EB
It possibly has something to do with this
https://stackideas.com/forums/url-routing-issues-with-multiple-blog-pages-categories-posts-not-following-routing
but I've gone through and checked the menu settings and they all look to be set to single article - unless I'm missing something?
Apologies for the long explanation - any thoughts on how to fix this?
Cheers and thanks
Andrew
