[Solved]Path issue with menu and footer menu links

[jasnick]

Using 1.10 - (issue not specific to this version, had the problem before I upgraded)

I can get more specific if needed, but a quick question:

Nav Menu link:
<td style="padding-right:0px" title ="Planning">
<a href="http://sitename.com.au/index.php?page=planning" onmouseover='xpe("vhr2qo");' onmouseout='xpe("vhr2qn");'><img id="xpi_vhr2q" src="navmenu-files/btvhr2q_0.png" name="vbvhr2q" width="113" height="67" border="0" alt="Planning" /></a></td>

This is the only way I can get the menu item to work.

Usually all that is needed is: <td style="padding-right:0px" title ="Planning">
<a href="http://sitename.com.au/planning" onmouseover='xpe("vhr2qo");' onmouseout='xpe("vhr2qn");'><img id="xpi_vhr2q" src="navmenu-files/btvhr2q_0.png" name="vbvhr2q" width="113" height="67" border="0" alt="Planning" /></a></td>

Why do I need to add index.php?page= to the link?

I only discovered this because I checked the footer links to see why they were working and the menu links were not. This is specific to this particular site as I have used the same menu before with no problems and just the plain path. Same applies to the footer links - usually just the plain path will do.

Thanks

I'm thinking something is not right with my config file. The above something to do with mod-rewrite? No option for this in my config file.

The index.php?page= is the default URL string, yes you need to enable pretty URLs, there is a PDF in the [root]/doc folder that tells how to do it...

[jasnick]

Yes Dr.CSS - I belatedly realised it is all due to that shonky config file and pretty urls not being enabled. Will fix it today.

Thankd for reply.
