Links to Articles broken on hompage's frontpage was created by bimbach
Hi,
Latest News Enhanced is a module on my page which is shown on the front page and another sub-page. However, the links to the articles are broken on the front page but work on the sub-page. I figured out that on the front page, there is another url structure:
front page: www.domain.com/index.php/17-news2/article_name
sub-page: www.domain.com/index.php/company/17-news2/article_name

/company/ is actually the menu item of the sub-page but there is no such on the front page.

hmm, any ideas to resolve this link issue?

Hello,

the articles have no menu item to fall into. Basically, you did not tell Joomla where the articles should show when they are open.
One solution: create a menu item (category blog for instance) where you want the articles to show (that menu item does not have to be visible).
Another one you can try is set the 'ItemId' in the advanced tab of the module instance.

Any article, not part of the menu items you create or select, will not have a correct URL.
Olivier.
