For example, I want the right-most menu category to link to a page on a different website.
Seems like it should be simple enough, but I can’t find where to do it.
Thanks for any pointers!

Hi Liam

Could you show us the code you’re using to generate the ‘right-most menu’ please?

It’s just the standard menu bar using categories.
Take a look at the website here:

I’d like ‘institutional products” to go to another website is someone clicks it.
Thanks.

What if you just hand-coded the last list item in your menu?

...

{/exp:channel:entries}

  <li>
    <a href="http://external-url.com" title="institutional products" target="_blank" rel="noopener">_    institutional products<span class="nav-description"></span></a>
  </li>
</div><!-- end col-full -->

Brilliant, Matt!
This is another thing I love about EE: the army of smart and helpful folks out there!
I really appreciate your help.

Yeah I love the community too, the trick is to try and teach what you know. I’ve learned even faster by trying to solve other peoples questions here 😉

I tend to build main menu’s more by hand (hard code) and any drop downs or sub menus by using looping Entries or Categories tags.

PS - I also noticed a little comment tag peeking out at me when looking at your site. I’m using a mac and FF v6. See screen shot attached.

Not meaning to butt in but was going to mention that too. It’s because of this line here :

<!--                     </div><!-- /#topad --> -->

Should be :

<!--                     </div>--> <!-- /#topad -->

Also as a note when commenting lines out it’s sometimes quicker to use the built in ExpressionEngine comments so you would do this sort of thing instead :

{!--                     </div><!-- /#topad --> --}

That should then comment out the whole line.

Ah, yes. Well, I’m still at the open-heart surgery stage of the website, so there are plenty of visual elements to fix yet. But I am encouraged that you only found one small nit! 😉

Good point about the menus. I’m thinking I might manually code the nav bar now, since it won’t change often and I do like that extra control.

Thanks again.

Nice catch Mark. Are you going to be in Manchester tomorrow?

(anytime Liam, keep the questions coming as you go…)

Unfortunately not, no :-(

I really wanted to go but have a family commitment that I have to make so won’t be able to make it. Hope it all goes well for everyone there though.

Best wishes,

Mark

Thanks mate, catch you next time Prof
