I've just discovered a problem when adding a Contact link to e.g. a persons name or some text in an article.
Previously I could select the appropriate text to link to a person in the Contact form, selected within a specific category of contacts (e.g. Committee, or Other Volunteers).
This used to work fine but it's just been pointed out to me that it doesn't work any more - but since when, I don't know. Was it a recent update?
Creating a hyperlink from 'Contacts', 'Name' the hyperlink inserted (e.g. to contact me Colin R) gives: /index.php?option=com_contact&view=contact&id=10&Itemid=101
This does not work.
The working link (to contact me), should be: /component/contact/contact/10-other-contacts/1-colin-wk07.html?Itemid=101
This works.
It is also generated correctly when the user is presented with the entire group to select a name from, as here:
www.solihullramblers.org.uk/component/co...-other-contacts.html
Selecting me (Colin R) goes to:
www.solihullramblers.org.uk/component/co...wk07.html?Itemid=101
which works correctly **.
Demo of faulty link:
At the bottom of the "About Us" page I have inserted a link to contact webmaster (Colin R) and which incorrectly directs to the wrong person, even in the wrong category!
** My workaround is to use this method to select the required contact, then copy and paste the correctly generated link into the Article text.
Has anyone come across or solved this anomaly please?
Colin
