Hey there,

I am really sorry for the delay of this reply as it is a weekend for us here.

Currently we do not have a block to allow user to choose menu item link on composer, the only way is as you mentioned in earlier
copy the link on frontend then paste into blog content, perhaps you can share with us how JCE editor add the internal menu item link into the blog content? We will see if we consider to implement this in the future version.

In an older version of Joomla I used an extension called Linkr http://joomlacode.org/gf/project/linkr2/ which was vastly superior to JCE's linking.

Then JCE improved their linking, perhaps incorporating some of the functionality of Linkr. I've attached a screenshot from JCE - after you have highlighted the text and clicked the 'link' icon, you can choose to link to a contact, content, or a menu item. Or, of course, a regular URL to a different site. This feels a lot cleaner than having to navigate back/forth between the backend/frontend

Dave.

Hello David,

Thanks for the input on this, greatly appreciated. When we developed EasyBlog, our idea is to allow your users to just compose without worrying about linking to a menu item and what not.

I am not too sure if your clients are just used to the way Linkr / JCE works but wouldn't it be much easier to just copy / paste the link into the editor instead of trying to find for the menu item. I have seen sites with hundreds if not thousands of menus and it would be pretty insane to put the authors through all of that.

Another example which someone requested earlier as well was the ability to link to a view from any extension. This is where it becomes really puzzling for me because authors, are not like site administrators, they have absolutely no idea about extensions or views.
