I seem to be having some issues with just basic linking.
I created a new template in my template group and called it blog. In my main nav, I want to link to this new template from the index file (and basically every nav after that)...
I am getting this error though…
INVALID URL
And this is is the url it creates
<a href="http://mydomain.com/index.php/final/index/{url_title_path=final/blog}">http://mydomain.com/index.php/final/index/{url_title_path=final/blog}</a>;Thanks!

Can you post the code that you have creating the links?
#3 / Jun 21, 2007 8:59pm
<div id="mainnav-wrap">
<h2 class="noDisplay">Main Menu</h2>
<ul>
<li class="current"><a href="http://" title="Home Page">home</a></li>
<li><a href="http://" title="">events</a></li>
<li><a href="http://{url_title_path={my_template_group}/blog}" title="">blog</a></li>
<li><a href="http://" title="">press</a></li>
<li><a href="http://" title="">contact</a></li>
</ul>

Is that all of the code? You have no weblog entries tag, and url_title_path is not a global variable, it is specific to the {exp:weblog:entries} tag…. it won’t parse out of context, hence the problem.

This is just my nav bar code. Why would I need a weblog for my nav bar? The file or “page” that I am trying to call in my nav is my blog template.

Because {url_title_path} can only be used inside a weblog:entries-tag. It will create a link to a specific entry using its url_title.
To link to your blog-template you use:
{path={my_template_group}/blog}
