Wherever Opus offers a link (button, card, image, place, event, list of links), the An article link type joins Menu item and Address. No more hidden menu items to create or addresses to copy.
Choosing the article
- In the link type, choose An article.
- The Article field opens the Joomla selection window: search, filters by category, language and status, as in a menu item.
- Click the article: its title shows in the field. The buttons next to it let you change it, open it for editing or clear it.
What Opus does
| Situation | Result |
|---|---|
| Address | The link follows the address Joomla gives the article, with its category and menu. If the article changes category or alias, the link follows. |
| Article unpublished, expired or not yet online | The link is not output. The rest of the element shows normally. |
| Restricted article | The link is only output for visitors allowed to see it. |
| Link text left empty | A button shows "Read more". In a list of links, the article title shows. |
Good to know
- "Open in a new tab" stays available, as for the other link types.
- On a multilingual site, choose the article in the module language: Opus does not swap it for its translation.
- In a map or calendar fed by articles, the link to each article is set automatically: its title leads to it.
Up to date for Opus 1.5.4.
