Hi,

First off, thank you for the useful module.

I've tried it but can't seem to get it to work the way I want it--I'm not sure if I'm missing something or if it's not supported by the module. I read the README.txt file but it doesn't seem to cover my situation.

The following is my situation:

Primary Menu

- Audience1
--Products Geared Towards Audience1

- Audience2
--Products Geared Towards Audience2

"Products Geared Towards Audience1" and "Products Geared Towards Audience2" are views pages linking to nodes of type product. The two views contain some product overlap (i.e., a product may be geared towards Audience1 and Audience 2). For example, let's assume "productA" appears in both views.

I would like to achieve the following when on the "ProductA" page, under the following views/sections:

--Products Geared Towards Audience1

Desired URL: http://www.mysite.com/audience1/products/productA
Desired Breadcrumb: Audience1 > Products

--Products Geared Towards Audience2
Desired URL: http://www.mysite.com/audience2/products/productA
Desired Breadcrumb: Audience 2 > Products

Is this possible with this module? Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated. Thanks in advance.

I think this is unsupported, this module is completely "Menu driven". It is useful only if you have some node and you need to display this one node in a different places of your menu structure.

e.g. In your case you could use nodesymlinks for "About us" page, which will appear under both Audience 1 and 2 menu links. But you can't use NodeSymlinks for Products listed by view, because in that case Products do not have links in the menu structure.

Audience1
--Products Geared Towards Audience1
--About Us (Original node)

- Audience2
--Products Geared Towards Audience2
-- About Us (NodeSymlink)

Hi wojtha,

Thank you for the info. I tried a "workaround" attempt, adding "Product A" as children menu items of "Products Geared Towards Audience1" and "Products Geared Towards Audience2" and it works, if "Product A" is checked off as "Enabled" (i.e., visible).

However, I don't want "Product A" to appear in the menu so disabled that menu item. I have the Menu Breadcrumb module installed as well and it should display the correct breadcrumb, even though it is not visible.

E.g. If I'm under "Products Geared Towards Audience2", the view links to Product A via http://www.mysite.com/audience1/products/productA.

Is it possible to make the view use http://www.mysite.com/audience2/products/productA instead? Can this module "play nicely with views" in any way?

Thanks in advance for any help you can provide.

Changing to "active" for the time-being.

No it can't play nicely with the views, sorry. This module needs to have own system URL (= menu item) for each "symlink" or clone, thats it.

Maybe you could try Custom Breadcrumbs, Hansel Breadcrumbs or something similar.

Thanks wojtha--much appreciated.

I did try custom breadcrumbs as well...Guess I'm back to the drawing board...
