create a hyperlink to form instead of a BF Menu? 2 years, 3 months ago #9677

Hi,


I'd like to create a link to a form.

At the moment I have a menu linking to the form and works great, is there a way to create a hyperlink from an article to the form?

Thanks for your time!

Hi,

there are several ways. What I often do to have nice looking urls is to create a hidden menu and create the BF links there.
Then I copy the resulting link from it (like YOURDOMAIN/contact-form.html).

However, the non-seo way to create direct links is this:

YOURDOMAIN/index.php?option=com_facilefo...mp;Itemid=YOURITEMID

The itemid is important to keep your module positions intact.

Regards,
Markus

Ahh... that sounds similar to what I did.


1.- I created a Top Menu that links to the application form
2.- I have an article that explains what the form is about and has a START APPLICATION FORM text, which has a hyperlink from what the menu gave me.
3.- I replace the Top Menu link with the article form explanation.

Does this sound about right?

Thanks Muffin Man!!

A quick question,

How do you create a hidden menu?

Is this just by unpublishing it?

or

By giving another access level? (public, registered, special)



Thanks!
