I have created 5 menu items with a menu from Joomla admin panel. Out of 5, 4 menu item should be redirected to the same domain and the 5th one should redirect to another domain url.
How to do that in Joomla admin panel? I am totally new to Joomla. The correct guidance is appreciable.
You can use External Link while Menu creation. So you need to follow below steps.
Go to Menu Manager.
Select New Menu.
Now you will see the Menu Item Type field , Click on Select Button.
Here You need to choose Click on System Link.
Now it will open this options, i.e Menu Heading, Menu Item Alias, Separator, URL.
Choose URL option.
Now you need to give external link in the field Link textbox.
Hope it will solve your problem :)

i am working with Joomla 2.5 and K2, in a template i bought.
1st.
i got a an accordion module that display several items into the main page, when i click on any of its elements it redirects me to: http://uxmalrecordscom.ipower.com/index.php/component/k2/item/452-the-dream-master which is correct. (.../index.php/component/k2/item/...)
2nd.
I set this same module to appear into another page called Discography, and when i click in any of the accordion elements it sends me to: http://uxmalrecordscom.ipower.com/index.php/discography/item/452-the-dream-master this URL is different than the first one and is causing me issues to display the content of the Item. (.../index.php/discography/item/...)
My querstion is how can i change the URL for the second case the "Read more" links to avoid display the content of the item in the same page or main menu seccion? or how to make the 2nd to have this kind of URL (.../index.php/component/k2/item/...) instad of (.../index.php/discography/item/...)
Note: Its the same module used on 2 different pages.
Thanks!
The way to solve this is to create a new Main Menu item called "Digital" then select as menu type = "K2 categories" and select the "Digital" category, this will cause all the K2 items listed under "Digital" displays on a different URL so now the url is (.../index.php/digital/item/...) instad of (.../index.php/discography/item/...) and is working awesome!
Hope this can help someone, this solved the problem to me.
I have a situation where we have a "user menu" on the top of the page.This menu is shown on every page with a module.Now in order to set up breadcrumbs properly I need to have a menu item which is published but not visible to any type of user whether guest or registered..
Is it possible in Joomla to have a menu item published and hidden yet accesible via URL??
You will have to write a different module which had most of the functionality of your custom module. In the new module you can change the code in a way so that you dont show the required menu.
I think you should create a menu, setup user groups, view level. Create a menu item, and try to access via menu alis - link.
Good luck
Yes, Menu's are independent of the modules that display them, it's possible to create a menu and not create a menu module, how, depends on the version of Joomla you are using.
That's why there are so hits when you Google — "Joomla Hidden Menu" There is even an article on Joomla Doc's on "Menus" that discusses hidden menus briefly.
So, the normal approach is to create a new Menu with a name like "Hidden" or "Shortcuts" and have the menu items created in that menu, then don't assign a menu module for it.
I got a page where I link to in the menu bar. On this page there is a custom module. On this page there are items from anothor database where the user can click on. When they click on it they go to another page with more information.
When they are on the second page there is no active button in the menu bar. On the second page I also have a custom module.
How can u force a button in the menu bar to have the .active class or in another way so that it haves the active lay-out button.

I am using joomla 1.7 .
I have added sub menu using joomla.
But when i click sub menu link its redirect to Url "www.xyz.com/2012-07-07/xyz". i want to remove date in this Url.
Plz Help me .
Thanks
You need to create another menu item of type "Menu Item Alias". In the alias field put "xyz". There is parameter on right side "Menu Item", here you need to select the menu item 2012-07-07/xyz.
Do not show the newly created menu. And whenever you will click on 2012-07-07/xyz it will show you the alias xyz of newly created menu.
I have created the articles and menu items that links to that articles. This all works.
But now what I want is, when I click on the menu, it should open up only article (without any template feature, no header , no footer and not even the menu).I am opening the article in a new window. From googling what I found is if I add &tmpl=component to the url it will just load the component, and that will show just the article. But I am not sure how to add this parameter from admin screen to the menu items. The link which is showed in admin screen is not editable!!!. Or should I have to develop a custom menu module to achieve this!!!?
Thanks for help.

Create a new menu item - External Link and then paste the full URL into the box.
