Incorrect linking

Hi

Have found that functions that gives me direct links to products generate links that display incorrectly. When opening page from link I get the same page loading within the page again and again and again, never ending. As far as I have been able to investigate by reading in the forum and trying myself it has to do with the menus somehow.

/index.php/komponenter/datorchassin/fulltower/produkt/184-cooler-master-haf-x <--- Correct link
/index.php/component/hikashop/produkt/184-cooler-master-haf-x?Itemid=120 <--- Incorrect link generated by search in shop

Solution to my problem or thoughts about it??

Hmmm
Only the ID number in the textbox?
Nothing more?

I added the ID number of the main category, 170, and some of the results in the searches work but far from all of them.

BTW, same problem happens for stuf that I click "Like" on for Facebook. The link in Facebook is all wrong and in that plugin I can't find an ID number that I can add anywhere.

Either I don't understand exactly what you are saying or I'm having some issue that is because of something else. Could you please tell me more exactly where to go for that categories listing menu item?

When I do searches the first match always function but all of the rest not so I'm not sure it's the ID that is the real problem.

I tried and clicked Like on a product and Facebook showed it but the link was wrong in the same way as the search links are.
The link to the product from Facebook looks like this:
www.puterfreak.se/index.php/komponenter/...n_id=288381481237582

The page adress is like this:
www.puterfreak.se/index.php/komponenter/...dmi-5ms-2x3d-glasses

BIG difference!

Hi,

You have to find the id of the categories listing module like on this screenshot:

Concerning the Facebook links, they seems to be good, the link is the same but with the facebook parameters added to the link.

Thank you but I've tried the one with ID 102 which is the same module as you have there, still no luck.

Huh?
The facebook links are good you say?
Have you tried them? For me they display completely wrong.


Hmmm
One thing though, could the linking problem be because I have made all menus from scratch through the joomla interface and not letting the shop generate the links for me?
Hope you understand how I mean.


If i make an example of what happens when I search.
I search for example Geforce, the first result is a Geforce GTX 690 and the link is:
www.puterfreak.se/index.php/hikashop-men...-geforce-gtx-690-4gb
All correct.

Second result is a GTX 680 but the link is:
www.puterfreak.se/index.php/component/hi...cu-ii-fan?Itemid=138
The result is a page that continually loads itself over and over inside itself and the background is white. Removing the ?Itemid=138 from the adress showes the page as it should be seen.

Sorry for all the trouble.

The facebook thing that I'm using is the one with xfbml, box count and it's supposed to show faces.
No faces are shown and when I click it it displays a box where I can write something about the product. It then posts on facebook as it should but the link gets all wrong.
If I use the iframe option I can click like and it counts it but nothing happens in my feed on facebook that shows me doing it so it's kind of useless then.

Sigh
I really don't get it and I'm thinking that it's because of something that I have done since I have PROBABLY not done as you, the developers, had intended.

My categories listing that I was refering to after the screenshot from Xavier looks like this.


Apart from those categories in the Menu Module Listing I have like 58 more to choose from, don't really know which one to pick if the ID 102 isn't valid. Have tried to pick one category and then search for an item in that given category but the result is the same, first search works but the rest gets the added ?itemid=XXX.
What's really funny though is that some items in other categories work fine. The thing that's different with those is that they are on the second level in the category tree while the ones not working are on the third or deeper.

If someone could have a look and see what could be wrong I would be very relieved.

Thank you all for being so patient as you are.

I changed the ID to 102, again, but no, it does not work as it should.

I have found something more about it though.
I have two main categories, components and accessories.

Components contain the sub categories:

IF I do a search for an item from one of these categories the result will be the same as before, first result ok but rest not. EXCEPT for the 7'th category, Monitorer. Searches within that category works fine all of them.

Accessories contain the sub categories:


All searches I have made for products in these categories work fine.

Thank you so much!!!
If I could I would hug you all, it works now.
FANTASTIC!!!

Was so happy over the solving of the search function yesterday that I totally forgot about the problem with the facebook linking. It's the same issue if someone presses the Like button for the product.

The issue is only when I use the tabbed interface and not the default. It seems to be something with one or more javascript that keeps on refetching the page over and over again.

Look at this page, it's really clear that there is a problem.
www.puterfreak.se/index.php/komponenter/...n_id=288381481237582

You probably have a conflict with a third component.
Can you try to disable them one by one in order to see if one of them it making the problem ?

I only have AcyMailing and Hikashop installed except for Joomla of course.
I have also added a custom iframe for Facebook on the left but that's it.

Ok, maybe me that's been unclear. It's maybe not the link in itself that's the problem but how the page is displayed when following it.

Turned off SEF and now the page loads correctly when following a facebook page, with SEF set to Yes in Joomla configuration it doesn't with the tabbed interface, without tabs it displays correct.
