Custom Links issue

Hi,

There is an issue with using custom links in the MegaMenu. For example, I have a custom menu item with the custom link brand. When I click on it from the home page, it goes to http://www.domain.com/brand. However, if I access it from another portion of the website, it’ll append to the end of the current page (http://www.domain.com/page/brand), and getting me to the 404 page. Is there something that i’m doing wrong?

I am using the latest JMegaMenu and I am on Magento 1.8.1.

Thanks.

Hi John,

With ‘custom link’ type, you could try to include the base_url of your site into the link: base_url/brand

I just added for you and it seems to work now, please have a look.

Hi
I have just had the same problem on my site -- some of my menu links were working fine from home page and cms pages but broke when I tried to access them from a shop category or product page because the link was appended to the shop category.
My solution -- put a “/” in front of your page name in the Megamenu Link field.  If your menu is linking to a page called “page1” then just putting “page1” in the link box will work only if you are on a CMS type page.  Fill the link field with “/page1” and it works every time for me.  
Hope that helps?
Martin

Hi Ziven
Thanks for your reply.  I had already tried adding links the way you suggest and just couldn’t get it to work!!
My solution of adding a “/” in front of your_link seems to work for me, so I just fill /your_link in the Link field and all is well.
The only problem I have now is that the titles in the menu don’t change colour to reflect the selection.  It is fine if you click a menu item linked to a category, but for a menu item with custom link it doesn’t work which looks a bit rubbish.  Any suggestions on how to fix that?
Regards
Martin
