    External Link Template

    Hi There,

    I have a template called "Link" that is suppose to give the user an option to create a navaigation heading and point it to an external link. I can get the menu heading to appear but cannot get the link part to work.

    The Link Template looks like this:

    <%@ Master Language="C#" MasterPageFile="/umbraco/masterpages/default.master" AutoEventWireup="true" %>
    <asp:Content ContentPlaceHolderID="ContentPlaceHolderDefault" runat="server">
    <umbraco:Item field="externalLink" runat="server"></umbraco:Item>
    </asp:Content>

    But all this does is output the link to text on the screen instead of being an actual link.

    Can anyone help with this? Would be greatly appreciated! Thanks

    Vince,

    You could build a .Net user control to do a 

    response.redirect('url here')

    to the new url

    Hi Neil,

     

    That doesn't work because all it does is bring me to a link, I need it to do an automatic redirect.. I tried a meta refresh but that didn't work for some reason

    Or you could use xslt - solution posted here http://our.umbraco.org/forum/developers/xslt/5754-Response-Redirect-from-XSLT
