Dear,

I've been using EasyBlog with pleasure however i'm currently having an issie:
When you are recieving an email, of a blog notification(when you are subscribed), the link in the email is:

http://simaginev2.netserver10.net/component/easyblog/entry/testweer?Itemid=189

However, i did set up EasyBlog trough the menu as you can see here :http://www.simaginev2.netserver10.net/nl/nieuws/entry/testweer

Do you have an idea why this is happening? It should redirect trough the normal way.

Thank you!

Regards,
Jeroen

ps: Could you respond to jeroen@vector.nl?
Hello Jeroen,

Hm, this is odd because when I access http://www.simaginev2.netserver10.net/nieuws/entry/testweer it displays a 404, category not found error message. Anyway I tried accessing your site's back end and noticed that you have configured EasyBlog to use "Use Current Active Menu Itemid ". Were you accessing the correct menu when creating the blog post?

Hi Mark,

Thank you for your reply!
Ye i was a little busy with .htaccess till i found the solution.

Well, i'm not sure, i've set up "Nieuws(news)" as EasyBlog frontpage, so i would assume it would use that menu item?

Regards,
Jeroen

Hello Jeroen,

Hm, is all blog posts supposed to use the same menu item? If that is the case, just set the SEO options so that it uses the respective menu id

Hi Mark,

Thank you! That indeed resolved the issue:).
One question though, what if i'm going to use it for multi language. can i point, let's say.. German, to another menu item then? Or will the Joomla default menu association take care of that?

Regards,
Jeroen

Hello Jeroen,

Then it's going to be a little tricky because it is going to depend which menu item are you on when you create the new blog post.

Hi Mark,

I'm back;)
Ok yes it seems to be tricky but can it be done trough EasyBlog?

Because with the multilanguage, it will be a lot of rewrites then in the end(5 active languages but building up the blog 1 by 1).

Looking forward to hear from you!

Regards,
Jeroen

Hello,

It is possible but this also means that you need to duplicate every single menu that you have including the dashboard as well. In other words, if you want the receiving end to receive Spanish, you need to access the dashboard with a Spanish language.

Hi Mark,

Only the link should be like /es/news or /de/news.
English in the mail is fine.

Hello,

Hm, if I recall correctly, Joomla should automatically determine what your menu structure is when it's being passed to JRoute to compute the URL. Since EasyBlog will try to determine what language the blog post is posted in, it will find the counterpart menu accordingly.
