Custom menu-> can't get it to load links in Tiki frame

posts: 60

I made custom menu with links. What I want is that I can set it to open links in Tiki frame /just like I can with Featured links/. How do I do that???

thanks!

actually, i want it not framed, but just as it is here /on this site/ the TikiWiki menu-> the page just becomes part of the whole page.

how do i do that?

Aren't those just wiki pages, so they display in the center column of the page? Are the links in your custom menu pointing to files on your site, or to external files? If they're local files — wiki pages, pages of other Tiki features, etc. — they should load in the center column as part of the Tiki page. If they're external pages, you have the option of having them load in an iframe or a new window, if I recall correctly.

Hi!

I have such option /to say how it loads/ only for featured links but not the menus. I use ver 1.8.4.
Also, for featured links it opens in frame, and it's ugly. It does not open as part of the page. The frame has scrolls and such :-(

How do I avoid all that??

As I said, the normal way for menu links to work, if the pages they are loading are local Tiki pages such as wiki pages, is to display them as part of the Tiki page. The content displays in the center column with the same theme, etc. as the other columns. If the link is to an external URL, not a page at your site, then it can't be displayed as part of the Tiki page unless it is in an iframe, and it'll have scrollbars if it's larger than the available space. Are your menu links pointing to local files (wiki pages, etc.) or external files (at some other domain)?
