Link to page in content section
28 May 2007 21:42
Anonymous I'm trying to make a link to another page (which I already created in the content section) on a page from the main menu. When I create a link in the editor, I have to give an url. How can I find the right url to link to this page?

What page from the main menu?

Almost all the menu items are links to components and 0ne section.

Do you you want to create a content page and then add a new Menu Item with a link to that page AND then have a link in that page to another page...

If Yes...Then:

When you select a menu item that has been created from a content item the URL displayed in the address bar will take the following form:

"http://www.yourwebsitehome.net/drake/index.php?option=con tent&pcontent=1&task=view&id=2&Itemid=63"

This is the URL of the Menu Item and its related content item...copy it.

Go to the backend and open that content item in the editor and select insert URL, past the URL of the menu item as the above example shows, then change the "view&id=2" number to the id number for the page you wish to link to then save the page.

It may require a little trial and error to get the ID number correct, however, if the menu items content id number is say 2 and the new content item you want to link to is the next content item created logic say the id number will be 3..

So I would paste the original URL "http://www.yourwebsitehome.net/drake/index.php?option=conte nt&pcontent=1&task=view&id=2&Itemid=63" in and then change the "view&id=2" to "view&id=3" save the page and test.

Here is a working example, select the "TestContent" menu item, then the link "Test" in the content page.

Hope this is clear enough.

Warning
A word of advice and warning, remember Drake CMS is still at the Beta stage, we are getting close to a release however, publishing a working site with Beta releases is fraught with danger.
End Warning
