Error: 500 - View not found [name, type, prefix]: 13foundation1, html, contentView
Joomla 2.5. Got this error when clicking on a link to an article that wasn't part of the menu system. The menu navigation was working fine and all pages could be accessed. Turning off SEF URLs stopped the error, but we would like to use this feature so that's not an acceptable solution.
The link is created using JCE to link to a content item.
Tried re-installing Joomfish. No effect. Saw this problem on two sites that both have Joomfish.
May be related to .htaccess file. (I think I ruled this out)
May be related to the fix found here: http://forum.joomla.org/viewtopic.php?p=1958954
Resolution (sort-of)
I narrowed the problem down to the URL that was being created by the JCE editor (although JCE was apparently not to blame). The URL looked something like this:
index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=23:foundation-membership&catid=9:foundation&Itemid=274
I found that if I removed the &itemid=275 from the end, then the SEF URL worked.
The problem appeared to have been caused by having a menu entry in another menu which pointed to a Category blog of articles that included the articles that I was unable to link to. By removing this menu entry, the new links that I created worked. What is stranger is that when I added the menu entry for the category blog of articles, there was no problem.
I suspect the issue may be someone related to the database of category IDs and article IDs but I don't really know.
I opened this thread in the JCE forums http://www.joomlacontenteditor.net/support/forum/url-not-properly-formed-when-linking-to-content-article
which ultimately lead to the resolution of this issue. I post this link in case there is any further follow-up.
