Do you mean the {cms_selflink}?

Under Extensions -> Tags -> cms_selflink are all parameters shown that this tag takes....

hello,

i don't think so.

if i create an 'internal page link', there is the input field 'Additional Parameters:'.

is it possible, to use this value in my template? and how?
cms_selflink seems to be not, what i m looking for…

of course, thank u for answering!

okay, i have not found a solution yet, but i'm trying to explain my problem.

i've got a multilingual site and i want to use just one photo gallery, which is linked in every menu

beacuse i always want to use the same photo gallery for every language, i linked them in the menus internal and f.e. after clicking 'photos' the album and the english menu are supposed to be displayed.

so, i tried to use the additional parameter to assign the 'start_element' in the template to react in the menu-tag on the start_element, but this won't work, i guess ;)

{if $start_element }
{menu start_element=$start_element show_root_siblings='1'}
{else}
{menu start_level='2'}
{/if}

Still not quite sure what you are trying to do, but if you have 2 lang. and want the english album page to show on other lang. side you can use the Content Type: internal link to make a menu item for the other lang....

What other parameters do you want to add for why?...

Hello,

i decided to upload a screen of my content layout-

Image

1. german language
2. english
5. photo album

i link internal to the photo album on 5. with 1.7 'Foto-Galerie' in the german menu and with 2.7  'Photos' in the english menu.

now i want to send a parameter with the link to point out which menulanguage is selected and is supposed to be displayed.

maybe there is a different and easier way.

thanks.
