    How do I find href for a new article?

    Posted 17 years 4 weeks ago
    • G'Day,

      I have written a new article. Now I want to reference it from a user module with the class=readon.
      Can anyone tell me how to find the appropriate parameters in the {<a href="index.php?option=com_content&view=article&id=4&Itemid=5" class="readon">Learn more...</a>}
      Highlighted RED info, and even if I need all the parameters ???

      Thanks in advance'
      Mike

    • Are you asking for just the url of the article?

      Take a look at www.savagefighter.com , look at the Adam Marquis Szychowski article. Is that what you are trying to do?

    • Yes, that's it.....I am trying to get the appropriate "item" "id" article" information to make up the URL to the new article on my website etc. Appreciate your help.
      Thanks

    • I'm sure some of there are Joomla gurus out there that would be able to suggest a less caveman like method, but here it goes:

      1. Write the article
      2. Create a menu item to that article that only an administrator can see
      3. Log in as administrator
      4. Click on that menu item
      5. Copy the url in the address bar of your browser
      6. In the module that you create, hyperlink to that url

      Hope this helps

      (J 1.0.x) I believe that if you login the admin backend and choose Content/ All Content Items, in the Content Items Manager screen you will see a row for ID.

      I hope that this helps.
