Xavier,
You are correct. Setting up a new menu item and pointing it to the category listing, works. Something, however, changed between Joomla 1.5 and 2.5. Here is what I had:
1. An image map of the USA, and each state had a hyperlink to the category:
Map here:
www.windowfanz.com/index.php/collegiate-54
An example of that hyperlink for Georgia (GA) was:
<area mc_name="US_GA" title="Georgia" file="target" target="_parent" url="
www.windowfanz.com/index.php?option=com_...e=georgia&Itemid=222
"></area>
2. Currently under this scenario, I have created a menu item called "test" and linked it to that category. Now indeed, the category does open, but the only way I can get to that page is:
www.windowfanz.com/index.php/test
3. How can I hide this menu item, or preferrably get a direct hyperlink to the category like before. Is it because I have SEF turned on and that's why the full path is hidden?
Thanks for your help!
