As you seem pretty good at coding... have you any idea on how to adapt this related news module so that it works with FLEXIcontent's TAGs only?

Are you planning on releasing the Latest News module in the next couple of days? It has been a very long wait for this one and I am excited to see how it will integrate with Flexicontent!

It doesn't look like I will be releasing this because flexicontent's router is really bad and I just can't figure out how to make it work properly.

Without modifying your router.php file to this:

Code:

 $view = $query['view'];
                if(empty($query['Itemid'])) {
                        //$segments[] = $query['view'];
                }

it will not work, so I can't release my mod until this big has been addressed.

Someone can try to get more attention to it:
joomlacode.org/gf/project/flexic ... m_id=19609

The other problem is that for some reason it won't just use the active menu id, even though it calls it.. it seems to set it to some variable, but doesn't replace it where it might be needed. However, that would be the wrong behavior anyway because it adds the current menu id in front of the current item, which would be wrong.

FLEXIcontent is Free but involves a very big effort on our part.

The module above has a little more granular control I did not put in yet (e.g. published state, etc.) so give it a try.

I looked through his code to see if there is a solution for the Itemid nonsense (Joomla's worst feature)

Code:

$Itemid = $mainframe->getItemid( $row->id, 0, 0, $bs, $bc, $gbs );

Since I have always avoided Itemdid I am not sure how to utilize this, but it might help solve my problem to assign a proper id, but I highly doubt it because of the multiple possible sef problem.

micker, and other members of the flexicontent team:

please stop putting so much php and code into the template file where it does not belong, this makes it much harder for developers to modify it to their own template using template overrides because they need to deal with all the code, you should really just be echoing.

Actually designing with MVC would actually be nice too.
