I have 2 modules on my home page. One lists most popular, one lists most recent k2 items from  2 different categories, video and blog.  The links to the blog entires go to /blog/item/<itemtitle>, so the side bar modules are being displayed correctly.  But for some reason the video entries are linking to /component/k2/item/<itemtitle>, and on that page the modules that are supposed to on the right do not show up at all.  The content area takes up the entire width of the site.

 

What is further confusing about this situation is that i have duplicates of those modules running on certain interior pages, with the same settings, that link to the items correctly.

 

what am i doing wrong?

Do you have a menu item that links to the video category? Did you try to publish the module there?

I do not have a menu item that links to the video category.  The main category is Education, and there are 3 sub categories. blog, video, article.  There are only menu items for Blog, and for Education. I already have that same module in the some of the interior pages, and it works fine.  The only reason i have 2 of the same module is because i need that same module to display below the content on index page, and in the side bar on select interior pages.

Try creating a menu item for the video category in a hidden menu and assign the module there.

That worked.

 

I had no idea SEF(search engine friendly) URLs in Joomla were so touchy.

 

Thank you
