"Duplicate content" URLs in News Show Pro GK5

Hi all,

Here's the issue. I have a blog on my site, and here's an example URL coming from the main menu:
/blog/item/71-example-blog-post
On the homepage i have a News Show Pro GK5 module, which pulls all articles from the blog category, and here's the same article, but with a different URL:
/component/k2/item/71-example-blog-post
Basically, we end up having 2 different URLs for the same article, which is not cool at all.

I remember "fixing" this myself, in the GK4 version of the component, but i decided that you should also know about this and that it should be fixed "properly"
In the meantime, could you please let me know what's the best method to fix this?
Module override, .htaccess?

Thanks in advance

Hi

NSP is using JRoute which is a joomla function to create links. Please show me Your site I need to check You menu structure.

Hi, you can see it in my screenshot. Very simple one...

The K2 module: Showing the latest items from one category (K2 category blog).
The resulting URLs: /blog/item/71-example-blog-post - the regular k2 links
On the other side, the NSP generates: /component/k2/item/71-example-blog-post.

I know if i create a submenu for each blog post, the resulting URLs might be the same all over the place, and will have no ID in the URL(/blog/example-blog-post), but i cannot do this for, let's say, a thousand blog posts...
There has to be a better solution
