I think you may want to look into using the {mosloadposition} mambot. If I
understand you correctly you want to display a menu in a content item. One
way to do this would be to create another menu and COPY each of your wrapper
menu items to the new menu. Then set the menus module to display in an
unused module position (lets say user7). The go into the content item where
you want to add the list of wrapper items and add a {mosloadposition user7}
there.

 

When the content item is displayed (and you have enabled the mosloadposition
mambot) you should see the menu. Since it is a regular Joomla menu the menu
items should have any Itemids that may be necessary to keep things working.

 

I hope this helps.

 

Thank you,

Anthony,

 

Thanks for your help with the wrapper concept, it worked great, now I am
using it on multiple websites.

 

Now here is a question for you...

 

Since the wrapper is a menu item, I am running into a problem if my user
wants to list on the main body (content item) the list of the menu items
that are wrappers, then click on the links and display it properly.

 

I tried it by:

1. Add the item as a wrapper/ menu item

2. Go to that item and copy the link

3. Go to content and put that link in the content

 

The problem is that when you click on the link the 'wrapper' does not appear
in my joomla page it appears with just the content and nothing else.  Is
there a way to do this?

 

For example I have a library website, and they have many 'external' online
links, I am creating menu item wrappers for these links.  But I think if the
user clicks on 'online resources' in the middle of the page should appear a
list of those wrappers, the user can click on them and go to the right
places.

here is the site that I am working on:

http://www.springfieldpubliclibrary.com/joomla

 

They have a page on their current site, which is 'ugly', but I want to
simulate it in joomla:

http://www.springfieldpubliclibrary.com/database.htm 

 

Thank you for your time!!!

 

thanks,

Laura
