Greetings,

I have a K2 Content module on the home page of my site set to display the single most recent item in a particular category by one author. All works well except for the fact that the title and readmore links do not open the actual item - they refresh the home page.

I believe that this occurs due to a menu item issue however dynamic links seem to work fine with K2 Tools modules and there is in fact a menu item for the category of this particular module's K2 content, so I'm not sure what to fix.

The link generated is mydomain.com/item/123-itemtitle which just reloads the home page. The actual item is at mydomain.com/menucategoryalias/item/123-itemtitle

Is there a workaround for this and would this be where it'd be implemented in my sub-template:
<a class="moduleItemTitle" href="<?php echo $item->link; ?>"><?php echo $item->title; ?></a>
and
<a class="moduleItemReadMore uk-button uk-button-color uk-align-right" href="<?php echo $item->link; ?>">

I made a totally clueless stab at changing it to echo $this->item->link and that was no help. Don't laugh. ;)

Thanks much.

The code is correct $item->link should be used in mod_k2_content's template files.

Can you send me a link to the site?

Thanks.

Edit: Arggghhh... I just tested again and it's different behavior but not entirely broken any more. Not sure what I did, I was trying everything. Last night the readmore link most definitely did NOT work however as of now it directs to the category latest items view (I think) rather than the full item URL. It's livable this way, I guess, but what I'm really after is for the readmore and title links to go to the fulltext item itself, so they don't have to do the readmore link yet again.

Hello,

It's not working again. Something is quite odd with the item link generation, where the category/sub-category are not being prepended to the /item/ID-alias consistently, for both the user, image and readmore links.

Thanks.

Can you point me to the module in question?
Can you also try using a different template?
