Navigation pane issue in EP

I faced an issue with a new web control (put on Employee Services) which was showing Navigation pane when viewed through Employee Services module but when user goes to some other page and come back the navigation pane was not visible.

The problem looked weird that why would a page do it when the "Module" property on the PageDef was set to Home\EmployeeService!

But in both the cases the URL opening was different. Below are both URLs:
Working:
http://server/sites/DynamicsAx/EmployeeServices/Enterprise%20Portal/Ale_HcmOpenJobs.aspx?WMI=Ale_HcmOpenJobs&WebModuleName=Home%5cEmployeeServices%5cOrganization&WCMP=GCO&WDPK=initial

Non-Working:
http://server/sites/DynamicsAx/EmployeeServices/Enterprise%20Portal/Ale_HcmOpenJobs.aspx?WMI=Ale_HcmOpenJobs&WCMP=GCO&WDPK=initial

So I found a solution which I must say can be a workaround with no other impact.

Just go and set the "ShowParentModule" property to "No" on the node of the WebMenu where the control is added and it will work.

Cross-Company-External record context

I faced a situation where I had to convert a listpage to cross company in EP. So I changed the query and redeployed. Pretty easy stuff. But then on clicking the record it opens a web control for approval and same thing happens with a button in the toolbar above. So in the case of cross company the web control was getting displayed blank as it wasn't getting the record context.

So I was able to handle the toolbar button by changing it's property "External Record Context" but couldn't handle the record link (HyperLinkButton). I tried getting the record context using IAxaptaAdapter but it didn't seem to work. :(
