Smart Search doesnt work on homepage

I've got the smart search module running on rockwall. When you use the search module on the home page it returns no results and simply refreshes the home page. But if you use it anywhere else its fine.

For me the search returns some result, please look >> http://d.pr/i/XybG but in fact when I choose article I'm not redirect properly. Please try to test the same on default Joomla! template Beez this gives us sure where is the problem. You can also try to disable SEF URL's for test time and make sure that articles are created in categories related with some menu items.

I've uninstalled the beez template unfortunately. Its part of our housekeeping.

Why would it work on all other pages. Do your templates have a strange homepage profile of sorts?

I turned of SEF urls and it still went to the homepage with no luck either.http://197.242.147.213/~bedfordc/index.php?q=steers&option=com_finder&view=search&f=1&Itemid=640

Please make sure that articles founded by Smart Search are related with some menu item (or their categories). Due to fact that there is no mainbody on homepage Joomla! needs some connection to other menu item to show properly an article.

Hi woogyngun. I have the same problem on my site - did you manage to find a solution to this? The smart search module running on the homepage merely causes the homepage to refresh

The solution is to create menu item which will be related with smart search view - then Joomla can build proper path to this view.

pplease explain this solution. what do you mean to create menu item?

Hello,

You have to create a menu item which will be connected with the smart search component - you can do it in the menu manager in the Joomla back-end.

ohhh i solved it . thank you.
actually after created menu item, should assign this menu item inside module smart search ))

For anybody:
1- Create a menu item for smart search. (it can be hidden menu anywhere. must be published)
2- Go module smart search > open "advanced" tab. find the line "Set ItemID" and assign the smart search menu item. So it will work on homepage too )
