Question Link Issue

Hey Guys

One of my issues has already been solved, which is awesome.
Yet, I'm stuck with this one here:

When I'm adding a relative link to a post (not via menu item, just here in a post with the URL bb code), it will add "/kunena" to the link. And I have absolutely no idea why this happens. As an example, this link would be (/forum/k5-1-support/topic/create/kunena) on my forum, for whatever reason.

Here is my configuration.

to me, it looks how it should be. anyway, that didn't solve the issue.
what i did was the following:

If you suspect that your main site menu items are wrongly configure (and the Kunena menu is unchanged) then edit these menu items (example: main, top) and change the Menu Item Type to Menu Item Alias.

Yet, the issue persists. Btw. I've noticed something else. Previously, there were links pointing to "index.php/forum/" instead of "index.php/kunena/". The part that is actually appended to the links is the highlighted part (bold).

Your menu items are ok now. Please empty your caches (Joomla and Browser-cache) and try again.

Yet, the issue persists. Btw. I've noticed something else. Previously, there were links pointing to "index.php/forum/" instead of "index.php/kunena/". The part that is actually appended to the links is the highlighted part (bold).

It shows the word in the address which is entered in the first Kunena menu item "Forum" as alias name (see image).

I am aware of that. That isn't the issue in itself. Let's use the word "[PLACEHOLDER"] as a placeholder for the alias you've assigned in your screenshots above.

When I add a relative link to a forum post, it will append this placeholder to the URL.

Let's take a look at the following example:
We take the relative URL of this post: /forum/k5-1-support/154446-link-issue/reply/204398
We are using the URL BB Code for this.
Now the result when submitted and displayed will be /forum/k5-1-support/154446-link-issue/reply/204398/[PLACEHOLDER] .

And therefore, the link will always be invalid as the resource linked doesn't exist.

rich wrote:

We are using the URL BB Code for this.

1. What happens, if you use the link without bbcode or if you click on a message number? Is the link in principle wrong?

A relative link without bbcode won't translate to a clickable link.
Clicking on a message number works.

rich wrote:

2. Have you menu items in the trash? This can also cause errors.

No, there is only one unpublished item. It is the default help entry of the kunena menu. Nothing has been edited.

rich wrote:

3. A problem is for me, because I can't see your page.

Well, i can give you the URL so you could register as a guest if that helps. I'd prefer sending those details privately if possible.

rich wrote:

I'm not sure but I think I found the issue. Is your Joomla installation on the main server page or installed in a extra folder? If you have the installation in a extra folder, you must enter for a relative link the folder name first. Otherwise the relative link does not work.
Must be /foldername/forum/k5-1-support/154446-link-issue/reply/204398

The installation is in the vhosts root directory and not in a folder.
So essentially it is like here.

So the following link _test_link_ is correct here (/forum/k5-1-support/154446-link-issue) whereas on my site it would be /forum/k5-1-support/154446-link-issue/kunena respectively /forum/k5-1-support/154446-link-issue/forum

let me know if you want access to the forum where the issue exists.
