How to add a parameter to an article ULR? - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support

hi all,

i've been searching in forum , in web , haven't found way i'm trying to. hope right forum question.

the problem goes this:

• i'm adapting template bought. (it supposed wordpress. wasn't , find joomla better suited solve kind of problem.)
• the template uses flash menu.
• to indicate tab selected in menu, can pass parameter button=x this: /flash/menu_v8.swf?button=1 or /flash/menu_v8.swf?button=2 etc.
• so used this: /flash/menu_v8.swf?button=<?php echo $_get['num'];?> , when manually place link such index.php?&num=4 work. loads flash menu 4th tab selected. no problem there.

the problem how add "&num=x" url.

if link article article, link textbox in menu item form (sorry i'm translating here) not writable. can select, , copy, etc., can't manually add &num=x url.

now, if try set ulr external link, can edit it, happens, resulting url in live site changes to: /component/content/?num=4

how should tackle this? i'm planning, btw, have each tab section.

i'm using joomla 1.5.14

i hope enough information.

thanks in advance pointers here,
