menu item linking directly to a tiddler

[Eric Kofoid]

I have used Ton Gerner's excellent plugins to create a menubar with several drop-down menus linking to tiddlers of interest. 

I would also like a couple of items in the menubar which link directly to specific tiddlers. For instance, I would like an item "About" which, when clicked, will immediately call up the corresponding tiddler without the intervention of a drop-down list.

Also, I would like to embed a small image of a vertical bar in the menu bar to separate drop-down items on the left from specific links on the right. If clicked, it would elicit no response. 

Any help would be greatly appreciated.

Cheers,

Eric

Eric,

It sounds like you answer relates to Ton Gerner's plugins. To get others to assist you I suggest linking to the demo for the plugins you are using and tell us something about how you use them, even better share a link to a wiki.

My own my menus plugin site has a lot of examples of how to code menu items, you may find some ideas there.

Regards

Tony

Hi Eric

I have used Ton Gerner's excellent plugins to create a menubar with several drop-down menus linking to tiddlers of interest. 

Glad to hear you like them.

Assuming you are using my Top menu plugin which contains for the top menu (to be adjusted):

<div class="tgc-topmenu">
{{tagpill1||$:/plugins/tongerner/topmenu/menu-template}}
{{tagpill2||$:/plugins/tongerner/topmenu/menu-template}}
</div>

You can add to the top menu:

• links (e.g. GettingStarted)
• images (e.g. $:/core/images/right-arrow)
• symbols (e.g. &#x2758;)
• ...

in the following manner:

<div class="tgc-topmenu">
{{$:/core/ui/Buttons/home}}
[[GettingStarted]]
{{$:/core/images/right-arrow}}
&#x2758;
{{tagpill1||$:/plugins/tongerner/topmenu/menu-template}}
{{tagpill2||$:/plugins/tongerner/topmenu/menu-template}}
</div>

For sure it needs some CSS tweaking.

Hope that helps,

Cheers,

Ton
