CMS Made Simple Forums

I have been asked to ensure a menu item does not bring up a page BUT diverts to another website, in another window of course.
I am sure that there must be a simple explanation for this but any help would be appreciated.

Try the Redirecting Link content type on a page.

Thank you Jo. works perfectly!

However, the target opens in the same window and the visitor would have to use the 'back' button to get back to the original site.

No problem of course if the visitor is savvy; some might find it awkward.

I wonder if there is any way of forcing a new screen.

Content > Pages > select your page > Options > set target to _blank

Thank you.

Yes, I tried that but it did not work. I cleared the program cache and did a Cntrl-F5 to clear the browser memory, but still it did not work.

As an addition: make sure the {menu} tag does NOT have 'loadprops=0'

If you tried the target _blank and it isn't working you need to make sure the menu template has this in it...

{if $node->target}target="{$node->target}" {/if}
