  • Multiple Wrapper links from drop down menus

    • Hi,

      I'm not sure how to ask this but I have a computer configurator provided by one of my suppliers and it works great with the Wrapper but I would like to make multiple links to different Wrapper windows for the different sections (Computer types) from one of the drop down menus. I can't seem to figure out how to do it.

      Thanks
      Brad

    • The most important thing is to get the "deep" links to the various pages that you want wrapped (this includes the full path, and any arguments in the URL). Then you will have to create menu items that are wrapper items, and point them to the respective links.

      If the site that you are wrapping uses cookies, or session variables, or something similar to keep track of where in the site the user is (IE, if you use the site in a non-wrappered way, the URL does not change, or does not change much), then there might not be an easy way to do what you want. I would find pages in the site that link to the pages that you want to go to, and analyze those links, to see if they are usable.

      Depending on how far down the rabbit hole you are willing to go, you can abandon Joomla!'s wrapper, and create your own (the HTML is very simple), and use external JavaScript to "drive" the iFrame (which is all the wrapper is), but that solution is more complicated, and the result will be a little less seamless, because two pages will be loaded in rapid succession (or more).

      Best of luck.
