Hi,

I’d like to know how one can link menu items to individual blocks on the same page.
Tried to add an anchor to the block (#anchor_name) and then reference it from a menu item of the type "External URL" (where the value in the Link field is also #anchor_name), but to no avail.

Moreover, upon specifying an anchor value in the the block, all contents in said block and also in the blocks below it become highlighted in blue (as if linked).
This behaviour looks like a bug to me.

Hi Adrienne,

It’s a good idea, you can raise a request in this topic so the team will discuss further to update

Thank you for the feedback.

From your post, I gather that a pure single page layout is not yet possible.

Regarding your suggestion to post a request here, if the devs read my opening post, they’ll know what I mean. The end game is to offer functionality similar to the JA onePage template, whereby the menu items on the main menu link directly to individual blocks (with a slide-down effect). It’s a pretty standard format nowadays.

Hi,

JA Builder supports the ‘Anchors’ option for each block so that you can add Anchor tags: http://prntscr.com/e9f2uw

Then simply add this tag for your desired item: http://prntscr.com/e9f3g4, it will point to that anchor.

Pls stay tuned and wait for the RC version.

Regards

Did exactly that from the very beginning, but it doesn’t work.
Moreover, when I add an anchor to the target block, the whole text in the block and the blocks below becomes underlined and changes colour (as explained in my opening post).

This is what I did.

1. Added link #about to menu item

2. Added anchor #about to block
   https://www.dropbox.com/s/vyckynbjnt25rbs/Screenshot%202017-02-16%2012.47.18.png?dl=0

3. After publishing, the result looks like this
   https://www.dropbox.com/s/gn5fujjjji11b97/Screenshot%202017-02-16%2012.46.25.png?dl=0

a) Nothing happens when About is clicked

b) All text in the target block and the blocks below becomes underlined and changes colour

According ti the Safari 10 Error Console, the following resource is not found:
media/jub/assets//css/bootstrap-core.min.css.map

Not sure how much this resource could influence the behaviour I’ve described.

Hi,

Try to add anchor name only ‘about’ instead of ‘#about’

If it doesn’t work, send me the URL and Admin login info of your site so I will check for you.

That seems to have solved the issue.
However, either there’s no sliding-down effect or it happens too fast.
Is the effect already implemented? If so, where can I configure its parameters?

Thanks.
