Joomla link to category list

Question

Hi all, I have encountered a problem with Joomla.

There is a custom html module with link inside. Link goes to menu item, which is category list. As soon as I understand, I have to copy the following code from the link attribute of the menu item and paste it inside href.

index.php?option=com_content&view=category&id=12

But it doesn't work this way. The 404 Error Page appears.

How to make this link work properly?

Thank you.

Answer 1

Create a menu item linking to the category list, then when you preview it in the frontend, right click the menu item and click "Copy Link Location". Then paste the link within the href="" and remove the http://example.com bit so it starts with index.php?com_content......

The reason why I say this is because the url you are using must be incorrect.

Hope this helps.
