I need to have a home page category tile link to a menu item alias, but keep the tile’s category picture and animation (sliding up on hover).

See this illustration

Hi,

I’m afraid you are not able to do this because the Collaborate article links to detailed article page and it will not link to online-community menu item

Would it be possible to change the link in the code?

I would also like the ability to redirect a 1×1 tile to a menu item but keep the animation. Is this not possible even in .htaccess file?

Thanks in advance.

In this case, you can try to use this custom below

Open templates/ja_fixel/html/com_content/featured/default_item_images.php file

find and change

<?php if ($link): ?>
<a class="article-link" href="<?php echo $link; ?>" title="<?php echo $this->escape($this->item->title); ?>">
<?php endif; ?>

to


<?php if ($link): ?>
<?php if ($this->item->id==112) : ?>
<a class="article-link" href="your_link" title="<?php echo $this->escape($this->item->title); ?>">
<?php else :?>
<a class="article-link" href="<?php echo $link; ?>" title="<?php echo $this->escape($this->item->title); ?>">
<?php endif; ?>
<?php endif; ?>


Hope it helps

Found a fix – it’s sub-optimal in that it goes to the article page for a second or two, but then the plug-in below auto directs to the menu item. I put a picture and “our site is now re-directing you to our online community” on the article page so the user knows what’s going on. Paid 5 Euro for the pro version to get rid of the ads.

Here’s the link to the plug-in: simple re-direct Joomla article plug-in

Thanks for your help Ninja Lead – tried the code change you suggested and it didn’t work. I tried disabling the simple re-direct plug-in that I installed and also clearing my cache and it still didn’t work.

I really appreciate your kind attention to my request. Not sure why it isn’t working – code seems pretty straight forward.

In case you look around on the site, I’ve re-enabled the simple re-direct plug-in so that now that the site is live users will get to where we want them to go.

Thanks so much,
Jim Capraro

It looks great, I saw the code auto forwarded on your site.
