Joomla! 2.5 alias for external url menu

By default, Joomla! 2.5 doesn't have alias for external url menu (hope it will be fixed next time). So it will insert datetime to the url for sub menus of this menu type.
Howerver, you can create an alias for this menu type as the following work around:
1. Change to another type of menu ==> fill alias name ==> save
2. Change back to external url type ==> save
Ola, done.

  1. Your method to add the correct menu alias for external menu.
    I'm sorry but I did not understand. You'll want to explain more clearly? I click on the "menu alias" to "External Links" I still have the error.
    Regards!

    Firstly, you select a menu item type, for example Menu Item Alias,type correct alias name which you want, then save & close.
    After that, open again, then select menu item type to External URL ==> save.
    Hope it's clear for you.

  3. Unfortunately not. Sorry.
    Can I ask for an example of creating a menu "Alias ​​Menu Item" for the menu type "External URL" on some example? I do not know what alias I write in the options menu "Menu Item Alias​​"?
