Simple link to PRODUCT DETAILS page???

[Snarkelton]

How do I create a hyperlink to a product details page? That darn "itemid" thing ensures that a copy+paste of the url will eventually crash the link (awesome).

Specifically, I'm in the long description area of one product, and want to insert a hyperlink to another product. (or from a Joomla article)

 Snarkelton,

Should not be that hard - you really need to install the JCE (Joomla! Content Editor) for Joomla (free) and then in configuartion make sure it is your joomla site editor.

* site>>system configuration>>site >.default editor.

* then in VM it will be your editor too

When you get to a product you then add the hyperlink ( you will see the editor button) - in the long product description page =
* and also set it to open in a new window.

If you do not see a menu bar in your product description area you need to set this in Joomla Configuration

Thanks John2400! However, I already use JCE, and there is no option in the hyperlink popup to tie in VM items directly.
You have to have a Joomla menu item assigned to the product in order to link to it----herein lies the problem with the "itemid"

....not a huge deal, I can code the url to show some generic itemid but then the (linked) product is tied to a Joomla menu item. ( --awkward)
