Menu Links [SOLVED]

[BeckTek]

I have a URL-link menu item called "Our Partners", It links to a web link category because that is the only way that it will show the thumbnails and display only that category.

The problem I am having is that I have a second menu that should show up below the content area, but with the menu module, I dont know how to link to the URL that the "Our Partners" menu is linked to.

Hopefully that makes some sense, you can see the website at www.becktekonline.com. And on the first page you can see the menu at the bottom and on the Our Partners tab you can see that there is no menu.  It only does this when trying to map the menumodule to weblink categories.

Anyone have a solution?

Hello Becktek,

Just copy the Our partner link from the first menu to the second one. To do so, you must select the link, click on the Copy button and, choose the second menu and click on Copy.

Hope that helps,

Patricia

The problem is that I have multiple links in my mainmenu link that each point to a different weblink category.  I can solve the problem by linking directly to the weblink category such as

index.php?option=com_weblinks&catid=23

But then I am not able to utilize the thumbnail images.  In order to have thumbnail images for that particular category, I have to append an itemid like this

index.php?option=com_weblinks&catid=23&Itemid=41

But doing so removes the bottom menu.

I figured out my problem.  I had created a Component weblink menu in order to get the thumbnails to work, and then created each different url link menu item to each of the categories that I wanted listed seperately. 

After getting all the links setup, instead of unpublishing the original component weblink menu item, i had deleted it.

So the fix was to recreate the component weblink menu then just unpublish it, now I can link the other menu correctly.
