I am pretty sure this has been answered before but I am having a hard time getting search results from the forums. :-)


I have a menu link that is a link to a URL. The link is to one of the pages on my site.

I want to be able to display specific modules on this page. That menu link is not listed in the Menu Items links on my module page. The section on the right hand side of the page in the module edit page.

Does this make sense?

Why is this not listed?

Thanks!

Did you found a solution to that? I have the same problem.

Thanks

Any solution? I have the same issues. How do I add new pages that I create to the module list.
Pages / Items
Menu Item Link(s):

Found the solution.
when you are in the admin tool and on the page you want to appear in the list. Select link to menu on the far right. There you will see Select a menu.

that's how you add it. Pretty easy if you know what to look for.
: )

what if it isn't a content item but is a section of a component where you have to copy the link from the frontend so there isn't that add to menu option? Does anybody know?

Does anyone have a Solution for this??

I have a workaround solution for this, here goes:

Follow these steps in your joomla site Admin panel:
1. Go to the module manager, open the desired module and give a unique name in the position field. If you want to use it also at other common position such as left or right, then first create a copy of this module and then for the new copy, create a unique position name. Example: custom1.
2. Create a new article preferably uncategorized. Give it the name of your module.
3. In the body area of the article type {loadposition custom1} and save your article.
3. Create a Menu link to this article in the desired menu. You should select 'Article layout.'

Thats all, your module will now load from the menu link directly.

This has an added advantage of giving you SEO prominance based on the meta info you give for this article.

Hope this helps!
