I’m working localhost/EE2. I have created a template for my contact form, when I view it within EE the URL is http://localhost/index.php/muckaround/contact_form .  I want to include a menu link from my homepage to this contact form. I’m struggling to get the correct URL, I’ve tried “/contact_form” but twith no luck.  My question is how do I link to this contact page?

There are various way, but

<a href="/index.php/muckaround/contact_form"> ...

should work. Moving to the CodeShare Corner.

Hi,
Thank you for reply.  I’ve decided to use the path variable to the templatefam/template ie _That works just fine for me and seems a neat way to do it.  However when I try to code my ‘home’link in the same way as <a href=”{path='index'}”>Home it does not work.  Could you please advise how I code my home link using the path template variable?

I’d recommend either:

<a href="http://{homepage}">Home</a>

or

<a href="http://{site_url}">Home</a>

The difference being the former will return a link including index.php and the latter will not. I prefer the latter.

Thank you that worked a treat. Just out of interest would you advise not to use the path tag for menu links?

No I absolutely would use them. 😊

Thanks for the help and advice
