profile SEF url and Itemid

profile SEF url and Itemid was created by ndee
Hi,

if I disable SEF in Joomla 1.5 and generate a link to a users profile a custom Itemid works:
$profilelink = JRoute::_('index.php?option=com_comprofiler&task=userProfile&user='.$user->user_id.'&Itemid='.$itemid);

the generated url looks like this:

example.com/index.php?option=com_comprofiler&task=userProfile&user=122&Itemid=5

(my custom itemid works and the right menu item is set to active)

the SEF version of above example should look like this:

example.com/my-menu-item/username.html


but it looks like this:

example.com/component/comprofiler/userprofile/username.html


so, the itemid is got lost somewhere.

Can you give me a hint where to look to fix this? or overwrite CB standard behaviour?

Thanks.

greets

Joomla SEF links often don't contain the Itemid. For example mouseover my avatar image to the left of any of my posts and no Itemid is appended. This is all done internally by Joomla out of view. Custom Itemid is not valid, if it doesn't match an existing database entry (an actual Menu link) then Joomla strips it. External menu links will also have Itemid stripped by SEF. All of which not controlled by CB.

Hi Kyle,

that's not the case. Actually in above example Itemid=5 is the menu entry "my-menu-item". The menu entry exists.

It seems that CB strips out the Itemid when viewing a users profile. I tried to use cbsef instead of Joomlas JRoute, same effect.

Afaik, the component itself is responsible for parsing the route. As mentioned above the link is a CB one: "index.php?option=com_comprofiler&task=userprofile&user=122&Itemid=5"
Again, the Itemid works and is not stripped out with SEF disabled and the Itemid has a related published menu entry.

If SEF is enabled for a URL then the Itemid will not be visible (best to test using a module that would display only on that Itemid). See many URLs on Joomlapolis it self, including your own avatar. This does not however mean it is removed. If the Itemid in question (5) is for a menu link that is External then Joomla will remove the Itemid (just how Joomla works). If trying to build a profile link you should be using CB API. See below example.
$_CB_framework->userProfileUrl( USER_ID )

This assumes you've included CB API (see tutorials within signature). Additionally you can get CBs Itemid with the below.
getCBprofileItemid()
