Viewing navigation widget

navigation widget



User: Susan S. 7 years ago
I'm probably missing something obvious. As Everweb gets "mature" it gets new features each time and unless you use them you don't even know about them. I just found out about the "redirect to child's page" option - cool!

I'm using the menu widget because I needed the drop down menu option. However, I have 2 menu items that I want to be links. I don't even want them to have a "page" in Everweb. Or if to be listed in the widgets menu they must have a page, I don't want the user to visit that page, I want them to be automatically redirected to an outside URL.

How do I do that??

(in case I'm not clear. Client is an artist that sells prints on Fine Art America. I have a menu item that says Buy Prints. I don't want visitors to have to click that in the menu, then go to a page and have to click Buy Prints link on that page, too much clicking. I just want them to click the menu item and go to Fine Art America)

Hi, Susan!

It's possible to do, I'll tell you how.

First of all, you'll need to keep that page in the navigation menu. Then select it and go to Inspector > Page Settings, scroll down till you see Header/Footer code section. Expand it and in Head code place this code:

<!DOCTYPE html>
<html>
<head>
<!-- HTML meta URL redirect - generated by www.rapidtables.com -->
<meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0; url=https://anyurlyouwanttoredirectto.com/">
</head>
<body>
</body>

All you need to do is to substitute https://anyurlyouwanttoredirectto.com/ with the real URL you need. After that, each time you go to that page, you will get redirected to the specified URL right away!

Well I jury rigged it while waiting for your answer and I'm curious which is the best way: your option or my jury rig.

Does your way work with every browser?

Here is what I did.

I used 2 menus, because the pages I need linked are the last two menu items.

So I made the menu on the left a nav. widget with the drop downs I needed. And the menu on the right is just 2 links. Obviously I matched the font and colors and then made it a master so it's on every page.

Works well but not sure if one or the other has any advantages.

Susan
