How to link pages outside Main Menu?

Asked by Ralph 5 years ago Last activity 5 years ago

Hello everybody.
I am using a template to work on a website using Joomla.
This template already comes with all the links ready.
In the menu item, Services, I have 20 new sub items that I have to create as new pages (one link for each sub item) with SP Page Builder, therefore the drop-down menu would not be well displayed being so long vertically.
Therefore, I have created a page called Services using SP Page Builder, which I placed in the Main Menu. When you click on the Services item in the Main Menu, it opens the Services page that I created with SP Page Builder and the 20 services are listed there. To access the information of each service, I placed a button for each of them. This button allows you to place the absolute url that will lead to the description of each service on a separate page. I have tried to directly put the address of the new page created with the address http://mydomain.com/service-name but it does not open anything, it appears that the page does not exist.

My question is, how can I put the links of the new pages created with SP Page Builder inside each button?

Regards!

Hi. You should publish each Sp PB page through a special SP PB menu item (this is the only correct way of publication.). If you do not want these items to be displayed in the menu, set them hidden. Then you can take links from these menu items and use in your buttons.

Hi Team, thanks for your response.

Toufiq, I'm going to watch the video and look for the solution, because I want to continue with the main menu I have from the template.

Pavel, how can I publish through a special SP PB menu item? Do I have to create a main menu with SP Page Builder? Because as I said I want to continue with the menu that I already have.

In fact, I made a copy of the service page with SP Page Builder. This service page was created with SP Page Builder and which is ready to use in the template, it is also linked to the main menu and works correctly. With this copy, I am working on the page of one of the company's services, that is, it is a page made with SP Page Builder and even so, having created the link within the button, when I access the page, page not found message appears. As you see, I created the page wiht SP Page Builder.

Images attached.

Thanks guys.
Regards.

Hi Ralph. I am not an employee of Joomshaper so I can not see your private messages.

Common workflow. The menu must be created by the Joomla tools (not by SP PB navigation addon) and is displayed by the template tools .
Create a new menu item > select SP Page Builder Type of the menu item > select page. That's all, you created a menu item having a link. You can use this link in the buttons.
