Article linking was created by Mark Kinsey
Hi all
Just wondering if you could help me, I have a query regarding linking 1 article to two items.

My website is www.pixelsdirectdesign.co.uk the issue I have is that when I click on Services, CMS on my main menu I get a nice clean URL, however on this page I've created quick click through links to my services on the right hand side. The issue I have is that if you click on the CMS link on the right hand side it loads a different URL despite both linking to this article, also the breadcrumbs at the top of the page reads differently.

Could someone please advise on what I'm doing wrong as I would like both of these links to show up as the same, any help is much appreciated.

Just to mention I'm using Joomla 2.5 as I was having other difficulties using Joomla 3, plus I need to get use to Joomla 3.

Thanks

Hello Mark,

Do these category menu item link to one category or multiple categories?

Each article is saved in a separate category but the same category as the main menu - services link. I believed this to be the best method due to the styling at the time would gladly change if it's wrong, the menu on the right hand side is created using the module K2 tools and selecting the relevant categories.

I'm currently writing all my content and the meta info but I'll also install sef404 as I'm reading up on SEO, will this make a difference to my duplicate URLs.

Sh404sef might solve a miscofiguration in your menus.
But the best method would be this (for all K2 installations).

Map each category into menu items
Each menu item should contain only one K2 category unless needed.
You can create category modules also with mod_menu and by using menu aliases.
