CiviCRM Community Forums (archive)

I've tried to create a front-end menu link for users to create a personal campaign page. I have used the Joomla menu item creator tool as normal.

The link it has suggested is:

index.php?option=com_civicrm&view=Contributions&layout=pcp

and I have set an alias as normal

On the front end though this fails with a CiviCRM error message that "We can't load the requested web page due to an incomplete link. This can be caused by using your browser's Back button or by using an incomplete or invalid link." 

if I put the link in direct (i.e. direct type the index.php?option=com_civicrm&view=Contributions&layout=pcp rather than going through the menu link created) I get my website template but no page content. (Firebug shows no page content either).

It fails for a superuser so, its unrelated to permissions.

Any suggestions as to (a) what the link should be and (b) why the system didn't get it right?

The proposed page is linked to a campaign (which is active) and a contribution page (also active and working) which has "Enable Personal Campaign Pages (for this contribution page)?" ticked.

Lobo, thanks.

and

http://www.example.org/index.php?option=com_civicrm&task=civicrm/contribute/transact&reset=1&id=13

get me to the main payment page (for me to pay money)  - not to a page where I can try to create my own PCP. '13' is the contribution page number - I assume that's right.

Thank you - that works fine. Let me know if you want me to file an issue for this - from your email it looks as if this may be as much a Joomla bug as anything.

Ed - Brian S. was ready to jump on this a create a patch, so we filed the issue:
http://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-8629

If you can follow that, grab the patch and test - that would be excellent.
