A bug report or Feature request for mod_mhfavorites

Hi,

First of all I'd like to thank for this great component and module. It works rerally well. But there is a problem I guess. If this is not a problem please take it as a feature request.

In the module there is a php code, which calls content id and Item id. Here it is:

Code:

foreach( $rows as $row ) {

	$query = "SELECT title FROM #__content WHERE id='$row->content_id'";

	$database->setQuery( $query );

	$title = $database->loadResult();

	echo '<a href="'.sefRelToAbs( 'index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id='.$row->content_id.'&Itemid='.$Itemid ).'">'.$title.'</a>';

But the problem is that. When you click on an article in this module, it always shows same Itemid after all. There are 17 different category in my website that means I have 17 Itemid. What i'd like to do is if I click on an article( I assume that I have added some articles to my favorite) it should show the Itemid that the category has, not the one that I am coming from.

Here is an example:

mywebsite.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=1857&Ite mid=32

Let's say this article is already in my favorite list. When I click on it from mod_mhfavorites module and look at the others articles in my favorite list it always shows other favorite articles like that:

mywebsite.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=411&Item id=32

mywebsite.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=546&Item id=32

mywebsite.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=753&Item id=32

But these articles are in different cateogry and they should let me show the real Itemid. Something like this:

mywebsite.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=411&Item id=85

mywebsite.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=546&Item id=36

mywebsite.com/index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=753&Item id=43

There is no problem when I want see them. But If I have another modules which works based on Itemid, then they stop working properly.

I need some modification to do that. I wish I explained clearly.

Again Thanks very much for this great component and module.

The module was written long before there was a method to get the "canonical" itemid through Joomla (technically it was written long before there was a Joomla), so it uses the Itemid of the current page. I haven't really done any development on it in around 2 years, but if I do make any updates this will be one of the changes.

If you can do that It'd be really great. Because I know there are a lot of people use this component and module. And if you have other modules in the content page that ruins them. I am also willing to pay for this component and module. Please develope it, because it is the only component in terms of its function.

Here is the usage in our web portal.

Look at the top of the page on the rgiht side.

Thanks very much
