On my Pligg 9.8.0 install, the URLs are set to /story/10 (ids not words) however, on those pages, the breadcrumb menu link for the current story is set to /Cats/Laser_Declawing_Cats_-_Yea_or_Neigh/ (category and words) which doesn't exist.

Example Page

How do I either fix that in the admin area or via templates so they match?

Thanks
Thomas

It looks as though you have Friendly URLS set to true but didn't add the generated code in the category management to your .htaccess

I had them on, then turned them off as I got 404 errors for all the URLs. Even after turning on the .htaccess. Not sure where the issue is, but I turned them off so they worked. Every other generated URL on the site is un-friendly (per say) except for the breadcrumb menu. That's why I'm confused.

I kind of had the same problem when I activated urlMethod 2. Most links didn't work, even admin links I had to go back in history and restore it to urlmetohd 1.

You mentioned generated code. Which code is that and where do I find it?

Appreciate if you can help.

I do have URL method set to 2.

As an example, you can go here and then to the breadcrumb where it says "Water Skiing Squirrel"

Like I stated above "add the generated code in the category management to your .htaccess "

I'm not sure how much clearer I can be.

The first place I'd look is category management!

I understand what you're saying, however it's not quite what I'm looking for. Your help is appreciated though.

Yes, if URL method 2 then adding a few lines to the .htaccess is necessary and when I add them, the URLs in question work again. But that's not what I'm looking for.

Since I have Friendly URL's for stories false, my URLs should be /story/[story id] not /story/[story title]

That's the way it is everywhere on the site except in the breadcrumb menu. I want to get the breadcrumb menu link to go to /story/[story id] just like the links from the homepage 'read more' link.

Does that make sense?

I understand now that you explained it in greater detail. Remember we're not mind readers. Help us help you.

open story.php and find

// setup breadcrumbs and page title
    $main_smarty->assign('posttitle', " - " . $link->title);
    $navwhere['text1'] = $globals['category_name'];
    $navwhere['link1'] = getmyurl('maincategory', makeCategoryFriendly($globals['category_url']));
    $navwhere['text2'] = $link->title;
    $navwhere['link2'] = getmyurl('storycattitle', makeCategoryFriendly($globals['category_url']), urlencode($link->title_url));
    $main_smarty->assign('navbar_where', $navwhere);

Change it to

// setup breadcrumbs and page title
    $main_smarty->assign('posttitle', " - " . $link->title);
    $navwhere['text1'] = $globals['category_name'];
    $navwhere['link1'] = getmyurl('maincategory', makeCategoryFriendly($globals['category_url']));
    $navwhere['text2'] = $link->id);
    $navwhere['link2'] = getmyurl('storycattitle', makeCategoryFriendly($globals['category_url']), urlencode($link->title_url));
    $main_smarty->assign('navbar_where', $navwhere);

I can't guarantee it will work, but that's what I would do.

Unfortunately that didn't work, but it gets me in the right area so I can mess around. The code above changed the link name, not the actual link.
