Include Joomla ItemID into links (hack included)

The links from catalog view does not have a Joomla ItemID (menu item) included in the link, making it impossible to set custom modules for the JooDb databases.

The solution is to make the following hack:
The file joodb.php in folder /components/com_joodb/helpers:
Existing line 32:Change to:
Remember to back up your original files first!

Sorry Lars,

thank you for your suggestion. But at least joomla 2.5 automatically attaches an Itemid to the query.

Look at db-example.html .
There is no module at the right side. The Itemid is 138. As you see there is always the /db-example in the urls.

The $menu->getActive() command in the joodb route.php file gets the current menu. So no Itemid is needed.
[code type=php-brief]
if (empty($query)) {
$menuItem = $menu->getActive();
$menuItemGiven = false;
} else {
$menuItem = $menu->getItem($query);
$menuItemGiven = true;
}
[/code]

Can you tell me a concrete example where it does not work?

Hi,
Sorry for not mentioning it, I use Joomla 1.5.26.
My hack is running on my site now so I have the itemid's I need.

I discovered the problem when I started my second Joodb and wanted to have different modules shown on the two databases.

Note: I am not a programmer so my hack might be "crude", but it seem to work.

Even with joomla 1.5 I am not able to recapitulate the problem. But I will insert an Itemid parameter in the next version.

Btw:
Don't take JRequest::getVar('Itemid'); use JRequest::getInt();

2:) As soon as Joomla version 3.5 is out you should think about updating your site, because we will stop support for 1.5 Joomla.
