When you set a link on the field in the list you can choose target menu

Thanks Klas,

This was easy enough and I found where to assign the menu to the link!

It does however not seem to have solved the problem... the same modules are still displayed even though a menu is assigned. 

Would you have any ideas what the problem could be?

Thanks in advance.

If newly set menu target is used then appropriate modules should be shown as modules depend on the menu. If you turn off SEF to see nonsef URL's you should be able to see which Itemid is used for the link.

It does not direct to the correct itemid for some reason. 

I have assigned a menu item (410) but it still sends the user to the deafult menu item (101).

Did you try this:

If you turn off SEF to see nonsef URL's you should be able to see which Itemid is used for the link.

This is what i did... assigned itemid 410 (which is my publication list menu item) but it still sends the user to the default menu itemid, which is 101.

Which itemid is in the link created in the list? If it is not the one set in list->fields->link try cleaning any caches you might have.

If this does not help I would need access to your site to help you further. You can email it to klas.berlic at octopoos.com

Thanks Klas,

Clearing the cache doesnt seem to have solved the problem. Sending you an email.
