Joomla 1.7 Tutorial – In your Joomla Articles, you can also link to other articles in your Joomla website. You can use the previous method of using the “Insert/Edit Links” icon but there is an easier way to create internal links to articles on your website. The insert link to ‘Article’ icon is available below your Edit article text box. ![]()
See below how to Create an Internal link to an Article on your website:

Joomla 1.7 - Insert internal link in article
- Login to your Joomla 1.7 Administrator backend
- Click on Content, Article Manager
- Edit your article.
- Highlight the text you want to link, in my example , I highlighted the words “Australian Parks”
- Click on the ‘Article‘ button below the ‘Article Text’ text box

- Click on the article from the list of Articles available on your website
- Click on ‘Save & Close’

Joomla 1.7 - Select Article you want to link to
Refresh your Joomla 1.7 website and view your article. The link “Australian Parks” will link to that article you saved on your website.
Thanks,

Hi Elaine
In Joomla 1.7, when linking to another article in website, is it possible to use a jpg or png image rather than highlighted text as the link trigger?
Thanks
Chris
Hi Elaine, I have same problem as Chris…I have an article with images down left had side. Each image points to a different artcile. How do I create that link. I don’t seem to get item menu ID and article correct. Each article is linked to a hidden menu hidden1-mi, hidden2-mi etc…
Thank YOU
Lisa
