    SOLVED Link on 2nd RokSprocket not working

    Posted 4 years 10 months ago
    • I have a website where I have two RokSprocket modules - Strips - setup which are displaying fine. The issue is that the links on the first modules works fine. The links on the 2nd module simply reloads the page.

      Here is the page: https://www.headlandalabama.org/

      Anyone encountered this issue and resolved it? Any feedback will be greatly appreciated!

    • The links in the second strip are "orphaned" or "menuless" link which means that joomla will then use the "default" menu item to open the article (i.e. "home" page). But also, your "home" outline does not have a "page content" particle anywhere on the layout - therefore there is nowhere for the article to be rendered - hence why it looks lik you are just getting the home page again.

      1. add the "page content" particle to the "home" outline layout.

      2. This is normal Joomla behaviour for "orphaned" or "menuless" articles. To get around this use the hidden-menu technique.

      Create a MENU called "hidden" (no need to create a module to place it anywhere). In the hidden menu, create a MENU ITEM for each of the orphaned articles (single article type) and make sure these menu items are published. Now the hidden menu won't appear on any of your pages, but, the articles will now open in their own page. You can also use the same technique and create a hidden category blog menu item to pick up multiple articles too, thus saving having to create a hidden menu item for every article.

    • Mark,

      Thanks for the 'reminder'! I had this issue 2-3 years ago and simply forgot. Guess my age is catching up to me. I turn 70 in 3 weeks. :)
