    RokBox for external URL menu item

    Posted 10 years 10 months ago
    • I wan't to link an external URL with a menu item and have that page pop up in a RokBox. I've researched this on the interwebs for an hour now and i've only found bad news. Is it still not possible?

    • After I edit the link in the database my added quotes are being interpreted as html quotes on the web page like this:

      <a href="http://myurl/here&quot; data-rokbox data-rokbox-caption=&quot;My Caption" target="_blank" >My Link</a>

      That link isn't the format that sould be used. Are you using the one in the guide?

    • I thought I was using the right format.
      I have an External URL Menu Item. Let's suppose the URL I want to pop up is www.rockettheme.com/ .
      So, in the link dialog box I should have:
      www.rockettheme.com " data-rokbox data-rokbox-caption="Whatever Caption I Want

      Is that Correct? I assume I can change the caption to whatever I want.
      Then after saving, Joomlsa strips the quotes so then I have this left in the link dialog box:
      www.rockettheme.com data-rokbox data-rokbox-caption=Whatever Caption I Want

      Then, I search my database for my menu item and find it in myprefix_menu. Then I edit the link there to read:
      www.rockettheme.com " data-rokbox data-rokbox-caption="Whatever Caption I Want

      Save. Right?
      The guide has some broken image links so maybe i'm reading it out of context.

      Image links are working for me. Try again as maybe you were viewing it while I was still working on it.
