Titles, menus and links - advice needed please
Posted: 13 Apr 2012, 10:15
Hi all
I have my gallery all set up and working, for the most part, however now I am trying to get the page titling and menu items correctly working but I am having a little difficulty and request some help please.
I have some Categories set up like this
Portfolio
> Portraits
> Buildings
> Animals
I have created a menu item for All categories which follows the same format being
Portfolio
> Portraits
> Buildings
> Animals
This results in providing me with URLs (SEF) like
mysite.com/portfolio
mysite.com/portfolio/portraits
mysite.com/portfolio/buildings
mysite.com/portfolio/animals
The problem however is that I now have two different pages for each album. I.e. one for the menu items as above. but when I view the Portfolio page which shows the three sub categories on that page, the urls used are
mysite.com/portfolio/
mysite.com/portfolio/category/14-portraits
mysite.com/portfolio/category/15-buildings
mysite.com/portfolio/category/14-animals
Which is not what is wanted, can I set these to use the menu item url's?
Also the actual image url's (for a non popup view) has repeated category content, e.g.
mysite.com/portfolio/portraits/14-portraits/detail/144-portrait-0030
How can I get it to not have the category in twice?
The next thing is the page titles, if I go to the menu item url's (shown above) I get the following;
(the menu items are set to show page heading (but left blank to use menu title) - otherwise no heading is shown at all)
Portfolio - Portfolio
Portraits - Portraits
Animals - Animals
Buildings - Buildings
If I select the category Portraits on the Portfolio page I get a heading of Portraits only, no heading of Portfolio is shown.
Basically what I am wanting is that the url's be like I have above for the menu items and not use the category urls and for the titles to be the album name, if a subcategory album then the top level name and then the album name, i.e.
Portfolio - Portraits
Can someone please guide me on this please to enable me to achieve the outcome I am looking for as above, which is urls as;
mysite.com/portfolio
mysite.com/portfolio/portraits
mysite.com/portfolio/buildings
mysite.com/portfolio/animals
and titles as;
Portfolio
Portfolio - Portraits
Portfolio - Buildings
Portfolio - Animals
Thanks for all your help
