Is it possible to create a menu link to a module, I don't want to create a page assign a module to that page and create a link but a direct link to module.
Example I have a video module which loads in advert position I want to create a menu link to video module or a menu link to advert position.
This is how I want it to look.

What you'd have to do is to apply an anchor on the page, such as
<a name="video-module"></a>
Place that in the module and then you can link to
yoursite.com/#video-module - James Spencer / Developer & Support / Hull, UK

Ok, a typical link in HTML form would be
<a href="some-link">Link</a>
However, if you use the following...
<a name="some-name"></a>
... then an anchor is created. You can directly link to this anchor in a page. For example, if this anchor was on the frontpage of your install, you could go to
yoursite.com/#some-name
Therefore, if you place <a name="video-mod"></a> in the custom module code for the Video module, you could create a link to #video-mod and it would move your cursor directly to it.
We use it on our demos and tutorial sites, i.e. tutorials.rockettheme.com/joomla-templat...sation.html#lc-width
To link to an anchor, you must have the # symbol before hand. - James Spencer / Developer & Support / Hull, UK

It doesn't work, just to clarify, I don't have a page don't want o create a content page, just create a menu link to a module / module position.
Example.
I want to create a menu link to mod_custom module which is published in advert position and the module contains video code in it.
I can create a content page with anchor and link to anchor but I don't want a page just a link to module. - VirtueShop

Hi Peter,
Maybe i'm misunderstanding what you're trying to achieve, but in Joomla you can't have a page without a component.
Going by the image you provided, the only way I can see is to create a page and assign module to it. You can then use css to hide the component(com_content) area. - Say no to Internet Explorer 6.

Hi Mark,
I was afraid of that, after trying everything I realized I can't create a menu link to a module, I will need to find another solution as my friends wants only his demo reel on the page and nothing else, tried to create a page suffix that didn't work too, as couldn't make the background full black. - VirtueShop

Well Peter, what you could do is place the module in the mainbody.
For example, you could load a content item with
{mosloadposition content-module} or {loadposition content-module} depending on your Joomla version so it would load the module position content-module.
So, you'd basically have a link directing to a content item which is acting as a module. - James Spencer / Developer & Support / Hull, UK
