Hello Jeka,

you can archive that with a restriction plugin "Field"

In the item view, you set 3 fields on which you set the link differently :

• Field 1 : Link based on the menu item news/world/
• Field 2 : Link based on the menu item news/asia/
• Field 3 : Link based on the menu item news/europe/

Then you add a restriction "Field" on each fields : 

• Field 1 : displayed only if the category is "world"
• Field 2 : displayed only if the category is "asia"
• Field 3 : displayed only if the category is "europe"

Be sure to have the field category in your item view.

Best regards.

Hi and thanks. But i not use item view. 

Did you mean list view ?

Jeka.

Hi Lionel,

I'm trying my best to get this working, but it just keeps on selecting the link in the highest field in item view.

Hi Jeka,

item view or list view are the same thing.

You can use what I describe in the list of seb_table, like in the item view of any other list template.

regards.

Lionel

Hi Lionel.

Big thanks for your answer. 

But as i can see it is not very flexible way to do what i need. For now i have 3 language * 3 categories.. so there are already 9 menu items. 

In the future i will have much more categories and for all of them i have to create separate fields to get right links.

And because i use custom list template i will have to use "if / else" for all of these fields in the code.

Am i right? 

Maybe there is some other way to do it more "flexible"?

Jeka

Hello

This is why we developped the dynamic menu link plugin :)

Thanks, I added the link in the plugin download page

Nice

Ohh thank!

Hi Cyril,

the plugin throws some errors for me. I can't understand, why an important feature like this is not core.

Notice: Undefined property: stdClass::$bool4 in C:\xampp\htdocs\xxy\plugins\cck_field_link\content_menu_dynamic\tmpl\edit.php on line 82

Sorry, these are just notices :)

Cyril

Ok - well, if notice, error, message, note, mark, report, signal -> i don't really care about the nomenclature, i try to get the plugin to work. :p

Those notices pop up in the backend, while there are also around 10 notices per search result in the frontend.

Set your error reporting level in Joomla to a lower level until Cyril fixes the plugin

I did, but i still can't get the plugin to work - maybe i do something wrong. It was for testing purposes anyway, but i still think this is a feature that should be in SEBLOD core - because without, you can't do a functional site search within multiple content types.

Hi

We uploaded a newer version of the plugin here

we use it regularily on many sites.

We added many new things in this version such as the possibility to write custom code but you can still sue the visual interface. to avoid the storage issues you can store the rules in a json format either.

the multilanguage has also been improved and you can use regexp for better performances.

Cyril

Thank you Cyril! It works! I still get the notices (maybe because of the storage?), but with error reporting on 'none' it's working fine.

Still my humble opinion: this should be core (may the SEBLOD team consider).
