I'm having problems creating an internal redirect using MenuItems.
I've created a menu item called 'sale'. I've found the menu item in the database and the alias is 'sale'. I've set the url to /mycomponent?id=3 and published the menu item, but /sale causes a 404 instead of loading /mycomponent?id=3.
I noticed that there is no alias for external urls, and that there was some debate over if it was needed for internal urls:
http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/joomla/tracker/?action=TrackerItemEdit&tracker_item_id=29264
I don't want to use the Redirect component for this. We have three environments, and that would involve setting up a redirect in each environment. If I can get the menu item working then it can be transferred between environments.
Is there a way to setup an internal url using menu items? If so how is that accessed by alias?
Menu Item Alias
as the menu item type.
