John,

If you create a new menu Item and when you select the Menu Item Type, you can select the Gadgets Catalogue(select the manufacturer),  or individual Gadget and show the entries.

I hope this helps

Rob

John,

The formatting using the Menu Item Type I mentioned above is not brilliant though - there seem to be some bugs in this release.

I found that I get the best use by creating a Menu Item as a Single Article, Create an Article and specifying the gadget id  in it by

1) Installing the Plugin "Plugin Include Component" - http://extensions.joomla.org/extensions/core-enhancements/coding-a-scripts-integration/embed-a-include/8741)

2) If you code the following in the article, where the id number is the id of the individual gadget that you have created in anygadgets component.

{component url='index.php?option=com_anygadgets&view=gadgets&id=2&template=atomic'}

You can add this code multiple times in the same article to show many different gadgets.

The code in the single quote comes from the Link field in the Menu Item - Template=atomic makes it work on my webpage, and I woild expect it to on yours.

 

I hope this helps

Rob.

biggrin
