Pathway Problem

Hi,

the further i dig into it, the more i'm getting fascinated by this component.

i can not solve this one without help and i hope there is a solution for it:
- i use ChronoConnectivity to display a custom list of articles
- what has to be done to get the correct pathway displayed when an article is clicked? right now the article shows up correctly, but the pathway keeps showing "Home" only...but i want to get it to show "Home - > ChronoConnectivityAlias -> Article".

Can this be done?
Thankful for any help,

Gekko

Hi Gekko,

I think this may be solved in a future release when Max adds a Router class to the component. If you search here on 'router' you'll find another thread where there's been a discussion on ItemIDs - I think these two are related.

isn't there any possibility to trick out the route.php?

in my case, i just want to show articles. so any task will always be "task=view".
everything is working fine, but i'm totally stuck into this pathway prob and don't see any possibility to get it solved.

isn't there any bypass possibility to this by simply tricking out the route-system in any way?
i just need a correct path from "home -> ChronoConnectivityAlias - > ArticleChosen", by now it's just displaying "home-> ChronoConnectivityAlias" when selecting the ChronoConnectivityComponent (custom article listing) and for every further browsing depth (selected article opens up in fulltext, but pathway stays the same).

Am i doing something wrong? Or isn't there really no possibility for this to work right now?

:(

Hi Gekko,

I think I saw some function which will play with the pathway in the Joomla API, check it at docs.joomla.org

Let me know!

ok...here is the black side of the medal:

My Chrono-Code lists a number of articles depending on dynamic authors. In an other posting by me, i looked for the possibility to hand over this dynamic id to a menu item to let ChronoConnectivity know, which author should be used. the first solution was to add a menu item of the "URL" type which allows to insert a "&DesiredDynamicValue=x" to the com_ChronoConnectivity link to make the hand over of this dynamic value possible.

Now it turns out, that this can't be the real deal. in order to get right pathways, the JoomlaAPI uses

$breadcrumbs = & $mainframe->getPathWay();

And although the use of the URL type linking produces an specific Itemid when clicked, the

& $mainframe->getPathWay();

doesn't: it just produces a plain link to the pure

index.php?option=com_chronoconnectivity&connectionname=SomeWhat&DesiredDynamicValue=x

which does NOT include the urgently required Itemid to make all the module settings work when clicking on it.

😢

Hi Gekko,

I think when creating a link of type URL there is an option to assign a unique itemid or something like this ?
