[#5509] How to set up the correct association in the CB Workflow module

Hi kyle - I switched off the SEF - no positive Impact...but the URL's look 'strange' for the menu links where the association does not work....Pls look at the following Scenarios...

Scenario 1: Access Uddeim inbox via 'normal' joomla menu (without use of cb) -> association works:

EN:
web180.login-94.hoststar.ch/joomla/pre_production/index.php ?
option=com_uddeim&view=select&id=1&Itemid=496&lang=en
DE:
web180.login-94.hoststar.ch/joomla/pre_production/index.php ?
option=com_uddeim&view=select&id=1&Itemid=487&lang=de


Scenario 2: Access Uddeim inbox via cb menu ('private message'-link generated by cb workflow module) -> association does NOT work:

DE:
web180.login-94.hoststar.ch/joomla/pre_production/index.php ?
option=com_uddeim&task=inbox&lang=de
EN:
web180.login-94.hoststar.ch/joomla/pre_production/index.php ?
option=com_uddeim&task=inbox&lang=en


Scenario 3: Access 'Moderate user report' form via cb menu ('Profile Report'-link generated by cb workflow module) -> association works:

EN:
web180.login-94.hoststar.ch/joomla/pre_production/index.php ?
option=com_comprofiler&view=moderatereports&Itemid=701&lang=en
DE:
web180.login-94.hoststar.ch/joomla/pre_production/index.php ?
option=com_comprofiler&view=moderatereports&Itemid=650&lang=de

I think this is a bit weird: in the URL of Scenario 1 there are some itemid' ...but in Scenario 2 (via cb) there are no itemid's...is this the Problem ?

Within Components > uddeIM PMS > System set "Overwrite Itemid" to "yes" and "Use Itemid" to "487" then see if you've any further issues. Looks like the URL structure changed and we'll need to update in CB. Have created a bug ticket to look into this further.

HI Kyle, so I implemented your advise and made the changes in the system settings of the
uddeim component and the improvement was very nice. I made some comprehensive tests as follows:

scenario 1
1) log into website (user = moderator) in EN mode
2) click on 'Private Message' in the workflow module -> the uddeim inbox appears in EN
3) change language to DE -> the uddeim inbox appears in DE
4) change language to EN -> the uddeim inbox appears in EN

..so scenario 1) works 100%

scenario 2)
1) execuute the 4 steps of scenario 1 /* the website is now in EN and the inbox appears in EN */
2) click on the 'Mailbox' menu /* the 'Mailbox' menu also gives you access to the uddeim inbox but not via workflow mod */
-> the uddeim inbox is still visible in EN
3) click on the 'Private Message' in the workflow module -> the uddeim inbox is still visible in EN
4) change language to DE --> the default page of the website appears (in DE) instead of the uddeim inbox (in DE)

..so scenario 2) does not work 100%

Because scenario 1) is the most used I can live with this 'feature' of scenario 2 ....may be you can also solve scenario 2
if you have a closer look when solving the ticket for scenario 1

last question:
why did you tell me to enter 487 and not 496? .....I also checked with 496 ...but then it didn't work...
for me the two id's look exchangeable...but it seems they are not

regards

The issue seams to be how we're constructing the UddeIM URLs. I'm guessing at some point the structure changed. This causes them to not match a Joomla menu item properly and result in missing or wrong Itemid. That parameter in UddeIM forces an Itemid.
