make a k2 item url to sef url was created by George Nasis

hallo there,

i want to achive somthing but don`t know how.
i make a query in which i take the k2 item url but in this format:

www.example.com/categoryA/categoryB/test where it ibelongs



but disabling sef i see that the item`s url is



/index.php?option=com_k2&view=item&id=63:autocad-2014&Itemid=334



so i am wondering maybe i miss something..i see after the item a Itemid is added and it takes =344bu

maybe it is the category?but 334 is surely not the category`s id..



thank you

The Itemid (334) is the menu item's ID.

The itemID is the id of the menu item the item (or category) belongs to.
The xx_menu contains the menu item's ID and the element that it is pointing to.

What are you trying to build ?

Yes you should look up the table to find of there is a menu item assigned to that item's category.

Without this, you will not get the proper modules in your view.

hallo krikor,

it is not about modules but about items. how will i get the right Itemid of the relevant k2 item?

for example in the k2 items table the k2 item id is 270 what i retrieve with the query.
in the menu table the itemid is 480. HOW am i supposed to make the query to retrieve the right item?which points to the right k2 item?

thank you

@George Nasis

In order to get the correct route for an item you need to call the K2 route helper:

<?php
require_once JPATH_SITE.'/components/com_k2/helpers/route.php';
$item->link  = K2HelperRoute::getItemRoute($item->id.':'.$item->alias, $item->catid);
?>

As you can see you also need the item id, the item alias and the item category id.

hallo lefteris,

thank you for your response.

so with this one i imagine that my query will concern only k2 items table and no need for the menu table.

Yes, exactly. The helper will do the job finding the appropriate menu item id.
