  • Linking Mosaic Items to custom URLs

    Posted 8 years 2 months ago
    • Good afternoon and thanks for your quick support,

      I have a variant from a similar topic --> [SOLVED] - Linking Mosaic Images to Custom Link

      I need to link title-text-readMore [sprocket-mosaic-item] to a customized Outline I created which includes the "page-content"

      I manually customized the link on the RokSrpocket module-manager and set it as
      /article-contenido/14-preverisk-spa/44-cambios-en-la-norma-mexicana

      Yes, it works and here is the result www.preverisk.com/index.php/es/article-c...en-la-norma-mexicana

      But please, could someone tell me how the automatize this process without adding manually the URL , some kind of tokens or whatever

      Thanks a lot colleagues!

    • If you are using Joomla articles as the dataprovider then there is no need to enter a manual link it would automatically link to the article link. But... If that article is "orphaned" or "menuless" then it would open the article in the home page (default menu item) and you wouldget the outline associated with that. It is menu items that have outlines assigned to them, therefore you need to have a menu item in order to be able to assign an outline.

      To get around this use the hidden-menu technique.

      Create a MENU called "hidden" (no need to create a module to place it anywhere). In the hidden menu, create a MENU ITEM for each of the orphaned articles (single article type) and make sure these menu items are published. Now the hidden menu won't appear on any of your pages, but, the articles will now open in their own page. You can also use the same technique and create a hidden category blog menu item to pick up multiple articles too, thus saving having to create a hidden menu item for every article.

      Regards, Mark.

      does it means every time I create new content I have to create a menu-item?

    • Not if you follow the instructions That I gave you and use a "category blog" menu item ot pick up all the articles in a category in one.
