    adding external links to a menu?

    I need to add some external links in the main menu but the umbraco installation I am working with seems only to allow pages that exist in this Umbraco installation. is this always like this or is there a config setting to allow external linking in menu?

    Hi Johan

    It's true that you need to have a node present in the tree.

    However here you can place a url picker (exists in the uComponents package) and here you can enter an external URL and the in your rendering of the navigation make a check to see if the property has a value and then render that value instead of the actual url of the page.

    Hope this makes sense.

    Hi Johan,

    As Jan suggested, you may use uComponents package. However another way round would be to add a textString property to you docType, so if ever an external link is added in the field then it uses this Url instead of NiceUrl.
