Have problem with URL generation of K2 category layout for languages other then main one:

1. In English (main) - http://.../articles?start=5 - that is fine and works ok.
2. in Ukrainian - url is like http://.../ua/articles/category?start=5 and it doesnt work and returns 404 error (page not found). By manual removal of "/category" word from URL it also works fine.

Pls advise in which php file URL generation could be corrected in order to remove "/category" from URL.

look's like dead forum...

can anyone help? there must be the way to control url creation parameters.

Do you use sh404SEF component?

No, I don't.

What I've learned is that k2 using standard Joomla pagination located in /libraries/joomla/html/pagination.php.

I found line which creates url:
return "<a title=\"" . $item->text . "\" href=\"" . $item->link . "\" class=\"pagenav\">" . $item->text . "</a>";

so looks like $item is responsible for incorrect url generation, but I have little knowledge in php to understand rules of its creation and why it adds "/category" value to URL when language is not default one (not English), so dont know where changes have to be done to correct it.

Is it possible you have different menu structure for the different language, the /category being generated through a menu item?

Not sure that I understood the question correctly, but for each language there is the separate menu item of the same type (K2 » Categories) and alias, assosiated with each other (native joomla multilingual setup).

So category URL for each language differs only by language flag:

site.com/articles - EN
site.com/ua/articles - UA
site.com/ru/articles - RU.

with no 'category' word used in URL.

Technically menu item link request looks like
EN - index.php?option=com_k2&view=itemlist&layout=category&task=category&id=605
UA - index.php?option=com_k2&view=itemlist&layout=category&task=category&id=607
RU - index.php?option=com_k2&view=itemlist&layout=category&task=category&id=606

Is it possible to provide a link to your site?

Thank you.

Yes, it's here.

Hi. Since you are using a multi-lingual site ensure that:

1. You have correctly set up the multilingual features of Joomla!. Short guide at www.db8.nl/en/downloads/various-downloads/151-joomla-2-5-multilanguage-website

2. You have not modified the default pagination layout of Joomla! . The language variable needs to be at the pagination link.
