No menu item on flexicontent list filter module was created by bytekultur

I have a similar problem to the one mentioned here: flexicontent.org/forum/21-troubleshootin...lists-filtering.html

But instead of the wrong menu item, none is active, so my URL looks like this after filtering:
/component/flexicontent/32-categoryalias.html?cc=e0ee36c1bd7c3dc761a0d594a4b76f5f

Obviously, the filtering module is not displayed any more, as it's restricted to the menu item i would like to display the list and filter. I helped my self with an override of the filter module's tmpl output, but the URL is still a generic component URL instead of my menu item's one... Any suggestions?

***

The override I am using for now, if some one is interested:
/modules/mod_flexifilter/tmpl/default.php

I added this before the form's end tag "</form>"

Code:

<?php
$activeMenuItem = JSite::getMenu()->getActive();
$Itemid = $activeMenuItem->id;
if(empty($Itemid)){
	$Itemid = JFactory::getApplication()->input->get('Itemid');
}
?>
<input type="hidden" name="Itemid" value="<?php echo $Itemid; ?>" >

Hello

that is how URLs are created for categories when no menu item for the category or of its parent categories are a found

do this
1. For your categories create menu items for at least their top-level parent categories
2. Configure the filtering module to be assigned to the menu items you created

Thank you for your reply.
I know and it makes total sense for URL's for which no menu exists.

1. I have a category "news" with 3 subcategories. There also is a menu item "news" linking to the category "news". The items are stored in the subcategories, which have no menu, but I even tried making one and it didn't change anything.

2. See screenshot - that's what I assumed to be the setting, but it has no effect...
