Hi there. I use swmenufree - but now I'm missing menuitems in the list that lets me assign things to pages (say I want to asign a module to a certain menuitem).
Se attached image for clarification.
How can I get that list to show the right things. Is it a bug - can you help?

If you have a URL link as a menu item  it will not appear on the list of pages to assign modules to.

Thats an amazing anwer! -and it makes sense not to have the URL links show in the menu item list.
Now, the parent item is an URL link (they link to nothing: "#"), but the children are not. Still the children dont figure in the menu item list. Is that suppose to happen?

Do you know how the menu item list is build? - what parts of the database decides which items in the menu table of the database to be shown?

I'm running into the same difficulty. I have all my "Submit _____" links on the menu as Link-Url but I can't assign modules to these items. I could see if I was choosing to open the link in a new window, but these links are simply staying on the same page. Is there a way around this? It's very frustrating....

Ok, on my local site I just edited the DB and changed the parent menu link and all url-links within my site to "content_section". Then I was able to select these menu links in the module menu item list.

It seems to work fine, but I would like it if someone more knowledgable could tell me if this will affect something else negatively. Or is there a way to edit the code so it doesn't exclude "link-url" menu items from the menu item list?

I did a similar thing in my DB - I just made them "content_typed" and the changed the URL to index.php? - this just reloads the same page, as the php call dosnt have any referer.

Maybe your solution is better - or just the same - cant figure out.
The funny thing was that the parent items were URL's not the submenu items, yet the submenu items never showed up on the list - because the parent items where URLS...

That is interesting that it was only the parent item being a URL. In mine, parent and child menu items are URL but I didn't see the child items until I changed the parent item as you said.

I think our solutions are basically the same. As long as it is a different menu type, then it will show in the list. Just enter the url you want before you change, or manually edit both in the DB when you change the type.

Yea, I never noticed the problem when I had modules in the "All" position, but when I wanted a module to load in all-but-one I couldn't select those last few. Should this be a bug??

A bug? Yes and no. There is no reason to allow url menu items to have modules attached to them really, since you are leaving the site - unless you are not leaving the site...get me?
I have had the problem before when creating menus where the parent item is just for show and does not have any action to it - like so many other dropdown menus.
In the long run I would just allow the items in the menu itmes list, because if you do link out of your site, it dosnt matter what things you assign to your menu item anyways...

Wow, glad I found this thread. I had a few of my parent items as Link URLs and couldn't figure out for the life of me what was going on.

I switched the parent menu items to Section Blogs and used the Section Description for the page content. Works like a charm. Thanks for pointing this out to us. Cheers!

No problem. As for mine, having the pages be for submitting content I am getting an error when clicking cancel. I get a "You are not authorized to view this resource". Can't remember the Cat and Section it's trying to access, but it seems to be because they are not actually the link type they are in the menu. Could be another issue, not sure yet.... but glad it worked for your situation!

This error is almost always related to Access permissions. I don't know what the link is to but be sure to check the Access permission on the Menu Item, Section, Category, Content Item and/or Module.

Well the link to adding the new content is:
/index.php?option=com_content&task=new§ionid=6&Itemid=0&Itemid=66
And when clicking cancel, it tries to take me to:
index.php?option=com_content&task=view&id=0&Itemid=66
which is where I get: "You are not authorized to view this resource"

I'm in the front end as a Super Admin, so I don't see what I would not have authorization for.....

I don't know about others' experiences, but I find that there are a lot of tpd components that don't have the functionality to use the link to component type of menu link. It's the curse of open source, I think, they get the job done but don't necessarily use every option joomla has to over, in this case parameters on menu links. Of course, another option is to hack away.

I understand why if you're leaving the site you don't need to link modules to that link, but there should be another option for links within the site.

mcsmom, I haven't seen that yet, but I had been linking modules to "all" pages so that seems to catch everything. Hackin is one way - I need to make a log of hacks I do though 'cause I know I'm gonna forget and have to do some over with the new release.... But hey - gotta expect to do some work since we're not "paying" for the stuff.

hi,

in the german forum joomlaportal.de is the answer to this issue.

the following thread provides a hack (so you can see Link - Url in assign), with wich you can solve the problem you got without changing anything in the database:

i couldn't see a side effect by now.

perhaps the core team can integrate this hack in the - perhaps the joomla team could take this change and integrate it in the code. by that way they could make another change and let the separator/placeholder also show up in the assign menu für template and modules.

in my eyes there is no reason why this items doesn't show up under the assign function

Yea, I could see how maybe it seems unnecessary if the link is to another page outside of the site. When the link is clicked and another window opens, should the page refresh to show the modules for that link-url menu item? I haven't tried the hack yet but will keep it in mind.

No slash! If you are including a slash that is why you are getting the error message.

I think what is needed is a new kind of menu link which is to an internal page.

For example, right now i am making class homepages and want to link to each teacher's CB profile. I have to do this as a url. I also link to her mamblog (aka "homework journal"), events category and docman category. The only thing that I don't have to do that for is class news because that is just a content category.

Thanks for the tip. I'll try that next time I'm making a url-link item. I don't need any on my current site, but I am working on another CB site and I may come up with the same situation you are doing right now.

I've had a similar problem where some url-link-menuitems showed up, and one not. The solution was to remove the "&Itemid=XX" at the end of the url.

Hi all
I am not sure if I am right. But now I am doing a site in which 3 languages are involved and with 2 different contents and well as modules, with link from one content to other without any menu item (url links)  :(
Since the module contents should be different, I cannot assign the module to all or to any particular menu item :P

So I created a menu, published it in a module postition which is not called in the template. created the content item added them to this menu, and assigned the modules to this menu item one by one as needed. and then simply unpublished the menu item (not the menu)

It worked for me

One thing I have done is create a link to a stratch content page and assign it the modules and or template I want.

THen I use the itemid for that page at the end of my url.
