I'm trying to set up a menu with a top level item as /bikes which is a page builder page, and the native joomla category blog page as /news/bikes. I have a top level item news and a top level item bikes but when I try to add a sub menu item with news as the parent and bikes as the alias, it doesn't work because menu item aliases can't be the same as any other item, so it just throws an error and I've had to use bikes-news as the sub item alias.
Does any body know of a way to have a nested route/sub menu item with the same alias as a top level menu item/route?
My current menu structure is
news (/news)
- bikes-news (/news/bikes-news)
bikes (/bikes)
but what I want is
news (/news)
- bikes (/news/bikes)
bikes (/bikes)
Thanks
This issue on github helped a lot https://github.com/joomla/joomla-cms/issues/14034
It turns out you can't have any route alias the same as any top level menu item route alias
I worked around this by having /bikes for the main page and for the native joomla blog /bikes/latest
