Joomla Templates

Hi all and a Happy New Year

I have just installed Joomulus and it seems to be working correctly.
I can link to Menu Items ok.
I wish to link to individual articles though and cannot work out what should go into the url tags.

At the moment, I am trying this out on my localhost before adding it to the live site.

If I go to article Manager in Admin and right-click and copy link location like this:
localhost/joomla/administrator/ index.php...k=edit&cid[]=159

However this does not work. What do I need to remove from teh link to make it work.
Many thanks
Barry

I hope everyone is well? has anyone had a chance please to look at my little problem?
Thank you
Barry

Hi Barry,
Sorry for the delayed response.
Local host links will not work as they are for your computer only - however you can go to your live site and find the URL to the article - then add it to your localhost Joomulus - your localhost site will link to the live site. Hope this helps.

Hi Big BEar
Hope you are keeping well?
Thanks for your response and appreciate all your help.
As I have a number of articles listed under a Menu, is there an easy way to find the individual URL of an article?

If you have a live site I would usually just browse the front end and copy and paste the URL's that are shown at the top of the web browser.

It's near impossible to work out what the URL will be from the backend.

Is it possible for you to do it this way?

Hi
Appreciate you comments, maybe I will have to re think some of the way some of the articles are being displayed.
By just browsing the front end, yes you can get a URL but of course if there is more than one article, then they all would be displayed.
Many thanks for your time, I will have a re-think before I decide to go live with Jumulus.

Barry

Barry are you talking about blog style pages where you see multiple articles from the front end?
If so there are a few ways around this - you can edit an article and place a 'read more' into the content - then when you look at the multi artcle layout you can click the 'read more' and this will take you to the URL just for the specific article.
If you are publishing a search module you can search for an article and this will also give you a link to a specific article.
You could publish a sitemap, such as Xmap extensions.joomla.org/extensions/3066/details install this then in your menu add a link to the Xmap componet - when you browse the front end and click this link you will see a list of all article URLs.

Hope this helps.

Hi again
Yes, you are right, most articles are in a blog layout. So with a read more I see where you are coming from.

I have installed xmap already, but because we have the Centering set to center (after all your previous help), this does not look very good as a site map.
I will look at setting up Joomulus on teh live site later today to see what I can do.
Again, amny thanks for your time
Regards
Barry
