Question Problem with URL aliases

It is not a big problem, however I just think it doesnt work right: I would prefer no redirection at all when you go to /forum (it just should display the contents of the menu item your forum homepage refers to), but if there has to be a redirection ir really should redirect to the URL your Forum-Homepage refers to. In my case this would be forum/index and not /forum/category/list.

The problem also occurs in the breadcrumb pathway, as you can see above/below this thread: Forum Kunena 2.0 K 2.0 Support Problem with URL aliases. When you click on Forum it is the same behaivor. This did not happen with Kunena 1.7.

Hi. The answers are in the source code.

When you choose menu item type -> homepage, the Kunena menu forum link goes to view=home ( no matter what other default menu item is selected ).

Example:

Kunena Forum ยป Home Page (Alias: forum)
Code:
index.php?option=com_kunena&view=home&defaultmenu=502

In the Kunena home controller, there's a hardcoded redirect to :
Code:
index.php?option=com_kunena&view=category&layout=list
Code:
// Find default menu item $default = $this->_getDefaultMenuItem($menu, $home); if (!$default || $default->id == $home->id) { // There is no default menu item, use category view instead $default = clone $menu->getItem ( KunenaRoute::getItemID("index.php?option=com_kunena&view=category&layout=list") ); if (KunenaRoute::getHome($default)->id != $home->id) $default = clone $home; $default->query['view'] = 'category'; $default->query['layout'] = 'list'; unset($default->query['defaultmenu']); }


This is why you'll get a 303 redirect to /forum/category/list if you try to access any url with view=home ( eg: /forum/ ) ..

The home view is empty and not used anymore in Kunena 2.0.1 :
Code:
\components\com_kunena\views\home\view.html.php
Code:
class KunenaViewHome extends KunenaView { function displayDefault($tpl = null) { echo " "; } }

In home default.php:
Code:
\components\com_kunena\views\home\tmpl\default.php

// This file is for Joomla! 1.5 compatibility



Maybe there's a fix planned in future versions to replace the default home view altogether and remove the forced redirect, or a workaround of some kind. Don't select the home page I guess if you don't want the redirect.. ?

And then, if in the Kunena menu I set the default menu item type for 'forum' to category list instead of home page, I get an error displaying the Kunena menu while loading a section or topic..
Code:
Notice: Trying to get property of non-object in \administrator\components\com_kunena\libraries\controller.php on line 109

I've been testing this for a while now today ( Joomla 2.5.6 / Kunena 2.0.1 ).

If the Kunena menu is set to forum, see my example images below, no redirect occurs when clicking on the /forum (root) link in the forum pagination menu.

With Joomla SEF / Kunena SEF urls enabled and default kunena menu item set to forum :

Pagination link = /forum.html
Code:
[Itemid] => 501 [option] => com_kunena [view] => category [defaultmenu] => [layout] => list

Kunena menu details:

Warning: Spoiler!



Index link (kunena menu at the top of the forum) = /forum/index.html
Code:
[Itemid] => 502 [option] => com_kunena [view] => category [layout] => list [catid] => 0

If the Kunena menu is set to another default menu item such as index, then the redirect kicks in.

That's all I know so far.. :silly:
