Dynamic Article Detail Page Not Used By Collection Articles (SPPB 6.6.0) - Question | JoomShaper

Dynamic Article Detail Page Not Used By Collection Articles (SPPB 6.6.0)

SP Page Builder 1 week ago

SP Page Builder Pro 6.6.0

I am trying to use the new Dynamic Article system.

Setup:

Created a Dynamic Article Detail Page Created a Dynamic Article Index Page Collection source = Articles Read More button: Link → Page → Dynamic Article Detail Page

Expected behaviour: The Read More button should open the Dynamic Article Detail Page.

Actual behaviour: The button opens the Joomla article URL:

/component/content/article/article-alias?catid=9&Itemid=101

instead of the Dynamic Detail Page.

As a result, Joomla article layout is rendered instead of the SP Page Builder Dynamic Detail layout.

Test site: https://digitalworks.no/goh

SP Page Builder version: 6.6.0

Can you please verify if the Dynamic Article Index Page is correctly connected to the Dynamic Article Detail Page, or if there is an additional configuration step required?

Hi Espen,

Thanks for reaching out.

I’ve enabled the SEF settings on my end (Plugins → SEF), and everything now appears to be working correctly. The Dynamic Article Detail Page is loading as expected.

It looks like the issue was related to URL routing/SEF handling, which was causing Joomla to fall back to the default article view earlier.

Please check again on your side and confirm if everything is now working properly.

Thanks.

Hi,

Thank you for enabling SEF routing.

The URL now looks correct:

https://digitalworks.no/goh/index.php/hva-skjer-artikler/grensemarked-pa-morokulien

However, the Dynamic Article Detail Page still does not appear to be used.

The body class is:

com_content view-article layout-blog

Then it seems like Joomla Article View is still rendering the page rather than the SP Page Builder Dynamic Article Detail Page.

The visual result also confirms this:

Joomla article layout is displayed Header/logo/colors differ from the Dynamic Page design My Dynamic Article Detail Page layout is not rendered

Could you please verify whether the Dynamic Article Index Page is actually connected to the Dynamic Article Detail Page?

At the moment only the URL routing seems to have changed, while the page renderer remains Joomla com_content.

Thank you.

Hi Espen,

Thank you for the detailed explanation.

I checked the setup again, and I can confirm that the Dynamic Article Index Page is correctly linked to the Dynamic Article Detail Page. The URL is now being generated through the Dynamic Article routing as expected.

Regarding the body class (com_content view-article layout-blog), this can still appear in certain cases because the content source is a Joomla article. The presence of these classes alone does not necessarily indicate that the Joomla article layout is being rendered.

Thank you.

Hi,

Thank you. I understand that the Dynamic Article routing may now be working correctly.

The remaining issue is the template/header styling on the Dynamic Article Detail pages.

On normal SP Page Builder pages, the header/menu is styled with the white GOH header.

On the Dynamic Article Detail page, the header/menu still uses the original green Nectar header styling/logo area.

Could you please check why the Dynamic Article Detail route is loading a different Helix/Nectar header style than the other SP Page Builder pages?

Expected: Dynamic Article Detail pages should use the same header/template style as the rest of the GOH site.

Actual: The article detail URL uses the green Nectar header/menu style.

Example: https://digitalworks.no/goh/index.php/hva-skjer-artikler/grensemarked-pa-morokulien

Could this be related to template style assignment, menu item context, Itemid, or Helix header preset for the Dynamic Article route?

This issue was caused by hardcoded CSS in Nectar. I’ve added the following CSS to your custom code:

.com-content.view-article #sp-logo img, .com-easystore.view-checkout #sp-logo img {
    filter: unset !important;
}
.com-content.view-article #sp-header.header-nectar .container, .com-easystore.view-checkout #sp-header.header-nectar .container {
    background-color: white;
}
.com-content.view-article #sp-header .sp-megamenu-parent>li>a, .com-easystore.view-checkout #sp-header .sp-megamenu-parent>li>a {
    color: #000000;
}
.com-content.view-article #sp-header .sp-megamenu-parent>li>a:hover, .com-easystore.view-checkout #sp-header .sp-megamenu-parent>li>a:hover {
color: #8e2746;
}
.com-content.view-article #sp-header .sp-module .easystore-cart-icon, .com-easystore.view-checkout #sp-header .sp-module .easystore-cart-icon {
    color: #8e2746;
}
.com-content.view-article .burger-icon>span, .com-easystore.view-checkout .burger-icon>span {
    background-color: #000000;
}

Please check now.

Thanks.

Hi,

I tested this further.

I opened the SP Page Builder Dynamic Article Detail Page and set all elements/sections to hidden.

However, the frontend article page still displays all article content, image, title, category, author and date.

This confirms that the Dynamic Article Detail Page layout is not being rendered on the frontend.

So even if the URL/routing looks correct, the actual page output is still coming from the Joomla/Nectar article layout, not my SP Page Builder Dynamic Detail Page.

Could you please check why changes made to the Dynamic Article Detail Page do not affect the frontend article URL?
