1. How do I enable substitution for a tag ('&mobile_number_param=[cb_mobile]' for example) in the URL of a menu?
Can it work for a Joomla menu, or does it have to be a CB menu? And if it does, how do I add a New CB menu that is just a URL (like a Joomla System Link URL)?
In the frontend, I just get '[cb_mobile]' appearing in the URL of the menu, even though '[]' are not valid characters for a URL.
2. More generally, I feel I should be able to find out the answer to questions like this without continually asking on this forum. But How? Where? How am I meant to find out: i)
which extension does the job I'm trying to do? Then, ii) once I have installed it, how to
target the extension to specific items?
The 'Getting Started' documentation goes as far as install and enable. The tutorials focus on the options. But, for me, there's a gap between the two (targeting). There's also a gap at the start between each problem and the name of the extension that addresses it. I find the descriptions of each extension tend to describe the application problem that they were first written for, not the full extent of what they can do now.
Here's what I've tried in this case:
- I've searched for and read all the tutorials that mention substitutions. But none say how to enable or target them.
- I've discovered via Internet searches, and searches of these forums, that (I think) I need to install the CB Content Bot plugin to enable substitutions.
- Then I've (finally) found the plugin (in order to enable it): Joomla > Manage > Plugins > Search 'Content' > Content - Community Builder > Enable
- (Note that the actual name of the "CB Content Bot" plugin has not got the word 'Bot' or 'CB' in it, which makes it hard to search for, and hard to notice, even if you're looking straight at it).
- I've read the inline help for configuring this plugin, but none of the configurations seem relevant.
