Dynamic content - index page - type "/...." goes wrong

Asked by Seppe 2 months ago Last activity 2 months ago

Good evening
I am building a website for a sportsteam.
For every year, there is a set of players in different divisions.

So in the dynamic content, I made 1 database and named it (for example) "team A 2026-2027)
When the setup of this database was ok, I duplicated it, because the setup is the same.
So I have team A, team B and team C for 2026-2027

When I make the indexpage for Team A... it all goes well. in the "type"-column I get '/a-team-2627'
But when I want to do it for the B and C team, I get in the "type"-column I get '/a-team-2627 (2)' and '/a-team-2627 (3)'
Although it should be: '/b-team-2627' & '/c-team-2627'

I guess the only way I can make this right, is to delete all duplicates, and start over from scratch to make databases. But what's the purpose then of duplicating it?

Hello There,

We apologize for the inconvenience.

The duplication process follows the same behavior as Joomla itself. For example, when you copy an article in Joomla, the copied item retains the original name and alias, with a suffix added to make it unique.

Similarly, when duplicating a dynamic content collection, the Name and Alias are copied from the original collection. To resolve the issue, simply update the Name and Alias of the duplicated collection after creating it. This will allow you to use the correct aliases, such as:

Team A → /a-team-2627
Team B → /b-team-2627
Team C → /c-team-2627

I have also attached a screen recording in the hidden content area for a better understanding of the process.

We hope this clarifies the behavior and helps you set up the remaining teams more easily.

Best regards

In the mean time, I thought it would be more ease if I just add a column in the database, and put there the letter for the team (A - B or C)

For team A, I made the indexpage with all information needed.
Using the filter options, it was easy to only get the data for team A.

However, this is not possible anymore for team B or C.
Since I made an indexpage for team A, both other teams get an error.
It's not possible either to duplicate team A, en change the filter to B or C.

So in the end, it's not possible to put all players in 1 database, and then let the dynamic content filter the players for each page

seems like creating an indexpage is not needed if behind that comes an detail page.
I created a normal page, and added the dynamic content, and it seems to work.
