Debug with no Itemid

16 years 11 months ago #1437 by kai920
Having trouble with a menu item.

I read the FAQ about ItemID, and turned on debug and checked jos_menu table in phpMyadmin to make sure there were no junk menu items.

When I first turned on debug, I noticed the ItemID was not the one desired, so I deleted and trashed several menu items.

I now am at the point where the debug statement shows no ItemID, and I'm not sure how to proceed.

end of debug wrote: [option] => com_content
    [task] => blogcategory
    [id] => 16
    [Itemid] =>
)
/index.php?option=com_content&task=blogcategory&id=16&Itemid=


What should I try next?

Make sure the Category Blog 16 is added to your menu and published.

How do I know which one is Blog 16?  Is that the same as the "Category ID"?

Yes. Just add the category with ID=16 as blog to the menu.

Hi, thanks for the hint. It turned out I had two categories (under different sections) with the same name.

Section A > category-name
Section B > category-name

So the SEF program generated the same URL for these two categories... I changed the category names so that they are unique and it appears to have solved this problem for now. :)
