Joomla : how to get the url of a specific Menu itemID?

Question

Friends a newbie question.........I need help in getting the URL of a specific Menu itemID. The situation is like this:

I am running Joomla and asking for a user to

Answer 1

However, we get the Itemid from anywhere (user input, from our own developed module using the "menu item" field type in the xml file as described in the Joomla Docs - Standard form field types)

// get the menuItemId from wherever...
// as described above or as in other posts here and do whatever with that!
$menuItemId = 'fromWherever'; // as an example "107";

// build the link to the menuItemId is just easy and simple
$url = JRoute::_('index.php?Itemid=' . $menuItemId);

i think if we need only a link to a specific menu id, this is the best solution, because we have absolutely less requests and a clean code

this works also in Joomla 3.0, 3.1
