Option to add ItemId to Latest News + module
- Posted by smallbiz (1) Offline
We use Latest News + on the home page of our site. There are many modules that appear on the home page that do not appear on article pages (and other modules that only appear on article pages).
Latest News + uses the ItemID of the page that the module is displayed on -- which means when people click on a news item, they see it with the home page modules displayed, instead of how an article page should look.
What we'd really like to have is the ability to define an ItemId override when creating a Latest News+ module -- so that we can control which ItemID is used to display the modules on the news article.
Can you add this feature?

Hi, I'm not really sure what you want to try to achieve but I think this is related to known joomla menu item Id issue. Have you tried to create hidden menu items for each of your joomla article category?
From your menu manage (Menus > Menu Manager) create a new menu. Name it Hidden Menu (or anything you want it).
Then create 'Category Bog' menu items under this newly created Hidden menu for all of your article categories.
