    Linking a node to an external URL

    Hi,

    I was wondering if anyone can help. We are building a site and want to link a note to an external URL and preferably give the users of the CMS the ability to do this for any further pages.

    Is there a add on that can be used for this? What is the best option here.

    Thanks for your responses in advance

    GW

    Casey Neehouse made an external redirect package for umbraco: http://www.neehouse.com/umbraco_cms/packages/redirect.aspx which takes a string of the url you want to redirect to (I think its the same one I'm using). Give it its own document type which has a string property something like umbracoExternalRedirect and uses a template with just this macro in it, and it should work fine

    <%@ Master Language="C#" MasterPageFile="/umbraco/masterpages/default.master" AutoEventWireup="true" %>
    <asp:Content ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPlaceHolderDefault" runat="server">
    <umbraco:Macro URL="[#umbracoExternalRedirect]" Alias="Redirect" runat="server"></umbraco:Macro>
    </asp:Content>

    Lovely package!

    Sorted my problem not being able to generate external links with my dynamic menu.
