[#32273] - [4.0] Admin mod_menu no active menu if URL has additional params
- Closed
- 9 Mar 2026
- Medium
- Build: staging
- # 32273
Steps to reproduce the issue
Navigate to /administrator/index.php?option=com_content&view=articles. Notice Content > Articles is open.
Next, add some dummy parameters: /administrator/index.php?option=com_content&view=articles&test=1.
Or even: /administrator/index.php?option=com_content&view=articles#test
Expected result
Content > Articles shows open.
Actual result
Menu is completely closed and no menu item shows active.
System information (as much as possible)
Additional comments
This seems to be caused by media/mod_menu/js/admin-menu.js:
if (currentUrl === link.href) {
Perhaps changing this to:
if (currentUrl.indexOf(link.href) === 0) {
would work better

this is what i get
Because you have a typo in your url.
&view=articles=articles
has to be
&view=articles
Because you have a typo in your url.
@ReLater You're right, haven't seen that.
Now tried /administrator/index.php?option=com_content&view=articles&test=1 and the view is shown as (same for /administrator/index.php?option=com_content&view=articles#test):
but @OctavianC got Menu is completely closed and no menu item shows active.
It depends if the component is already open. Go to another component and then paste in the urls and you will see that the correct component is not displayed in the sidebar menu
thanks @brianteeman for your comment, now i understand what's the issue. Sorry, i haven't understand before.
@sandramay0905 Thats fine. I only knew because I had something similar in my own component

@richard67 This is NOT fixed by that PR please re-open
Hmm, why does that PR claim to solve it?
@richard67 I have no idea because there is nothing in the PR description that refers to the issue here
@richard67 I have no idea because there is nothing in the PR description that refers to the issue here
@brianteeman The very first line of that PR‘s description is:
Pull Request resolves #32273
yes but there is nothing in the description of what the pr does that matches anything here afaict
@brianteeman it adds the „active“ property here: https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/pull/47271/changes#diff-27c98aa110e4d0bce12440e8d505d0ed75e87ac2e3660d6909fa68efd3c379baR551
So I assumed it fixes the issue here because it is about the missing active menu, and the PR also improves detection of the active menu by the URL, or not?
its a bigger issue. if you look at the video i posted in that pr you will see.
I just worked out exactly the cause of that issue and its in the component view and not the menu. I will document it fully tomorrow
Sorry, wrong link in my previous comment. Fixed it.
@richard67 sorry you can close this. not because it is fixed in #47271 but because it has been fixed by something else much earlier as I cannot replicate the bug with Joomla 5.4.4

@brianteeman Maybe it was #47268 ?

Closing as it could not be reproduced anymore. @OctavianC Feel free to reopen if that was wrong.
