Double URL for the same category?

December 26, 2011 at 12:30 AM

Hi, I struggled all day long to understand how to fix URLs it but so far no hope, so I am asking for advice.

I am using Joomla 1.7.3 with core SEF and URL rewriting (Apache) enabled.

A portion of my category structure is the following:

Photo Products
  Cameras
  Lenses
Photo Articles
  News

Then I defined a JReviews directory "Photo" and assigned in JReviews all the Joomla categories to appropriate listing types and to "Photo" Directory.

Then I set up this menu structure:

Photo Section (as a JReviews Directory item pointing to "Photo" Directory)
  Photo Products (as a JReviews List Pages item pointing to "Photo Products" category)
      Cameras (as a Jreviews List pages item pointing to "Cameras")
      ...
   Photo Articles (JReviews List pages)
       Photo News (Jreview List pages)

Now, the menu structure works well for all items and for example clicking on "Photo News" menu item I get a

http://localhost/photo-section/photo-articles/photo-news

The problem is that when I click on "Photo Section" menu item and I get the JReviews "Photo" directory page, the links in the page content are most wrong.

For example for news I get this URL:

http://localhost/photo-section/photo/photo-news_c163/

where I see the directory name between two categories and the leaf category has a bad name. Same for all others categories with except of Cameras and Lenses, where they are right! For "Cameras" I get this URL:

http://localhost/photo-section/photo-products/dslr-cameras

but its parent "Photo Product" is again wrong:

http://localhost/photo-section/photo/photo-products_c137/

What is happening ??? ? What shoudl I look at?

I didn't create any hidden menu as in some post is advised since I didn't understand for which category I should create hidden Joomla entries.

Thanks a lot

Giuse
