Automatic redirect from the article view to flexi item view

Hello!

I wonder does FC allow an automatic redirect from the article view to the FC item view? Searched on forum and did not find an answer.

Thank you!

Hello

by default:
Joomla article view is redirected to FLEXIcontent item view in order to display FLEXIcontent extra fields and use FLEXIcontent templating system,

thus
1. you do not need to update your menu items
2. please note that this is done by using Joomla Router, so please do not think that this is done via browser redirection which costly and time consuming e.g. +0.5second to 1 seconds, but instead when Joomla Routing decides which component to render, the com_flexicontent component is rendered instead of com_content, thus you do not pay cost of real "redirection" (=page reloading)


The Joomla category view is not redirected to FLEXIcontent category view, because usually it may not need to display extra fields, plus some people may want to keep existing category views

to use FLEXIcontent category view please create a FLEXIcontent category/multi-category menu item or an FLEXIcontent directory view menu item

the FLEXIcontent category view utilizes FLEXIcontent category parameters (advanced ALPHA-index, peer-categories, FACETED filters, etc)

Regards

Thank you for your answer!

Well that means that something is wrong on my website. I want to move to FC and I am testing it. So when I want to reach an article using the old link I have a redirect to index.php intead of FC item view. I am on Joomla 2.5.19, "System - FLEXIcontent" plugin is published, FC version is "2.1.2 r1806 beta".

Please note that articles are not connected with the menu items. But I have converted com_content categories menu items to FC Categories.

I hope that with your help I will resolve it. If you need an access to my website I will provide it to you.

Hello

1. are you using some 3rd party SEF plugin ?
- since you have a test site , please also test with SEF disabled to see if this is related to SEF

2. backup your .htaccess and test with the Joomla's default .htaccess file

1. I am using Joomla's default SEF. Without SEF enabled direct link open com_content not FC.
2. Did it, but same result.

Hello

FLEXIcontent system plugin can be configured to excludes chosen user-groups from redirection, can you check if this is enabled ?


after doing the above if you have this site online then you may give me admin access to by sending me a PM

also it is better to use: (not related to this issue)
v2.1.3 r1857 BETA, it is stable except for some new filtering abilities in universal module
