Title: MenuLink to page within own site
Post by: trippnicki on January 07, 2008, 10:48:06 AM: Hi,

Thanks for helping an idiot.

I have been trying to find a way to make a "Menu Link" page to a page within my own site. (for use in a side menu that doesn't follow the normal tree structure).

Menu Link works great for external pages, but I can't get it to work consistently within my own site, without repeating the top banner etc....

Many thanks for help before I pull all my hair out.

use for external pages the full URL: "http://www.example.com"
and for internal pages only the pagename: "/example" without "http://www" and without page Extension "com" or "php". If you have subdirectories call it like "/subdirectory/example".

Thats all

"/subdirectory/examplepage.php" works fine but repeats the top banner in the body.

"/subdirectory/examplepage" gives Not Found error in the body.

Thnaks for any thoughts...

1.) You really mean the page type "menu link" wit wich you work?
2.) Did you change your page extension in advanced settings of WB?

b. Page Extention setting in advanced settings is: php

a. The situation: I have a template that has a sidebar menu showing all child pages. On page "A" I want in that sidebar menu to show a link for a child page from different parent "B" (not its own). So, I have added a page under Parent "A" which is a MenuLink type which goes to the child page under Parent "B". I think my thinking is OK, in fact on viewing the link is on the right place on parent A page, just it does not go there...

Sorry if that is not clear... I am a newbie of course...

tested right now again the menu-link modul and it exaktly works as i describe above. If you use links to internal pages you only need the page name withaout extension.

But menu link modul is already buggy. I hope we can fix this. One bug is if you create a page and then make a menu link to this page and then delete the menulink the page is also deleted.

Maybe a stupid question, but is it possible to reinstall only the Menu Link module?

Post by: ruebenwurzel on January 09, 2008, 04:49:05 AM: Hello,

got to WB package modules dir. Zip the menulink modul. !Only the files within the module, not the whole directory;. Install the zipped menulink via WB Backend.

Post by: maxxis on July 18, 2008, 10:20:42 AM: Is it possible to use menu link to trigger javascript events?

I want to use javascript:showDiv() to show a div containing flash media but I can't seem to create the trigger with the menu system in WB.

Any help?

Try creating a hidden page with an HTML section (the HTML code section module, not the WYSIWYG), and refer to that with the menu link.
