Bug Joomla Menu path not used

Hi,

when I have a Joomla menu item that shows a Kunena category, that menu item is no more selected when i choose some topic within that category.

Is this wanted behaviour?
In Joomla itself, a menu item linking to a category stays active when loading some content within.

You can test this very easy:
- Install a Joomla with sample data.
- Install Kunena with sample data.
- In the menu "main menu", create a "Show Category" menu item "a" that shows the category "Welcome Mat".
- In the frontend, select the item "a", then "Welcome to Kunena!". "a" is no more active.

This happens because Kunena sets Itemid=0. Having a look at KunenaRoute::_, i see a That function seems to iterate through the menu items but does find nothing and returns 0. When if comment out the above "if", the "a" stays active, even though there is no Itemid. I think this is because the menu link "a" is a subset of the "Welcome to Kunena!" link.

As it turns out, it was the last function in the KunenaRoute class.
It only accepts items as parents whose query parts (option, view, Itemid, ...) are _all_ the same as the link to generate.

The topic links in the category have all view=topic. But my menu link has view=category, of course.

I changed the into in line 560 of libraries/kunena/route/route.php. Bad hack, but works for me .

best custom writed hack i seen for kunena

I changed the

Code:

if ($value != $uri->getVar($var)) {

into

Code:

if ($value != $uri->getVar($var) && $var !== 'view') {

in line 560 of libraries/kunena/route/route.php. Bad hack, but works for me .

In Kunena 3.0.4 this part has changed so you can't aplly anymore this hack
