[#14013] - Wrong menu item id is assigned to article links
- Closed
- 4 Mar 2017
- Medium
- Build: Joomla! 3.6.5 Stable [ Noether ]
- # 14013
Steps to reproduce the issue
1- create an Article ("article A") that has NO MENU ITEM assigned
2- create a new Article ("article B") with a link to "article A".
3- create a Menu Item for "article A"
4- go to "article B" and try to create a link to "article A"
See this gif for the bug:
Expected result
- On Step2, Joomla should generate a Link that points to the correct Article (ItemId)? Just like Step 4. This way, when I go to the frontend, I'm redirect to the corresponding Article.
Actual result
- On Step 2, Joomla generates a URL ending with "ItemId=101". If I go to the frontend and click this link, I'm redirected to the homepage.
System information (as much as possible)
- Joomla! 3.6.5
- System - Language Filter is DISABLED.
- I used to have 2 Content Languages. I deleted the original one (english-GB, Id 1) and I'm left with only 1 (portuguese-BR, id: 2).
Additional comments
I would like to know if there's a workaround for this. The same/similar issue has been discussed on the old issues tracker ([#33132] - Wrong menu item id is assigned to article links when language filter enabled.).
OBS: how the hell you make the "BUILD" input MANDATORY and Joomla has no easy way to tell which BUILD it's running?

Btw the build is the version you are running:
What happen if you remove the ItemId=101?
The link does work.
For me it looks like a issue in the JCE link manager than.
I don't think so. I forgot to mention that I did the same tests with TinyMCE. Aditionally, the plugin I want to use for a image gallery (BT Content Slider) is also generating the wrong links. :(
I tried to reproduce this bug on a pristine installation, but I couldn't. So I don't know what caused Joomla to behave like this.
I forgot to mention that I did the same tests with TinyMCE.
Using the article button in TinyMCE, one will never get an itemid.
We will get one when choosing a menu item (new in 3.7.0)
Toggling editor one will get
<p>text article B</p>
<p> </p>
<p><a href="index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=2&catid=8">Article A</a></p>
<p>New after creating menu item to article A<br /><br /><a href="index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=2&catid=8">Article A</a></p>
<p>Link to a article A menu item<br /><a href="index.php?Itemid=108">link to article A</a></p>Then it is just a matter of router.

Here's a gif I recorded this morning, TinyMCE does seem to also add "ItemId=101", just like any other editor/plugin that needs to render links to Articles.
you do not use a 'pure' tinymce instance. as can be seen, you have 2 article buttons in its toolbar.
likely because of a 3rd party extension
I suggest you install https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/archive/staging.zip and test with TinyMCE

as @infograf768 wrote, TinyMCE does not add the Itemid (anymore). This issue is not one of core Joomla, but of the extension that you are using.
That said, this one should be closed.
