[SOLVED] Modules and Templates in CB Profile

Hi,

My joomla version is 2.5.3 and CB 1.8 CBsubs 1.3 RC

1 - I created a menu link to external url going to a userlist!

2 - I selected the modules that i want to show in this link (works ok)

3 - I selected the joomla template style to load with this link (works ok)

the issue:

When click the users of the list, it show the user profile, but not show the modules and doesn't load the template style...

How can i fix that

userlist (load joomla modules and template style asigned)
user profile (doesn't load joomla modules and template style asigned)

Thanks

Have you manually added the Itemid to the userlist external link? Also ensure it begins with index.php and not live site. If using SEF there's no workaround as Joomla SEF strips Itemid from external links. If you need a link to a specific userlist, but need it to behave as an internal link you'll need to create an internal userlist as normally then edit the URL directly in _menus database table to append the listid.

Hi,

No, i inserted as external link without Itemid

(list external link added) index.php?option=com_comprofiler&task=usersList&listid=14
(list link on the website) index.php?option=com_comprofiler&task=usersList&listid=14&Itemid=260
(link to the user profile) index.php?option=com_comprofiler&task=userprofile&user=67

so when click any user it strip the itemid, but for the userlists is still there

Also ensure it begins with index.php and not live site.

Is index.php

No SEF

I dont know if i need that because for the userlist it already have itemid, it just strip for the user profile

Thanks

it just strip for the user profile

You need to have an Internal public and published menu link to CBs profile. This link is mandatory. Without it then links to CB won't have an Itemid.

I tried that and worked, now doesn't strip the user profile itemid, i don't know why, now is apply for 50 menu itens...

how i do that, is a link for each menu profile?

Thanks

You don't create a menu link for every users profile. Within Joomla create a new menu link to CBs profile and ensure it's public as well as published, that's it. The module it's on doesn't have to be published though. So a common tactic is to create a new menutype of "Hidden" then add your link to it so it's never seen on frontend, but its Itemid is still used.
