Topic: Additional menu items

I wanted to add a new item to my menu, using this:
X = <a href="URL">LINK</a>

Now what happened is that I put an url, but when you click, it sends you to:
forum_url/URL  which is not a valid link.

What's wrong in that?

Re: Additional menu items

What are you putting in for the URL? "additional_thing" or "http://www.whatever.com/additional_item"

Re: Additional menu items

Er.. The forum is located in www.mysite.com/forum
So I want an item in the top to get back to www.mysite.com :S
So what I get is:  www.mysite.com/forum/www.mysite.com

Re: Additional menu items

X, URL and LINK are your variables, you gotta replace them with whatever you want.
If X = 0 your custom link will be shown before "Index", just like PunBB.org in this forum.
URL as guardian34 said is the url that you're linking and LINK is the link name you want to show.

e.g. 0 = <a href="http://punbb.org">PunBB.org</a> this would be what Rickard used in this forum.

Thanks for explaining smile, but I perfectly understood that, and what I got was as I just said, the result above!
The equivalent of: http://punbb.org/forums/http://punbb.org

No offence to your intelligence was intended smile

The probably Rickard used 0 = <a href="../">PunBB.org</a> which means that you can only use relative paths (not absolute), and this also means that you can't use www.mysite.com as additional menu item.

EDIT: Since it worked, ignore what I've just wrote here.

Oh no! That's the kind of explanations I usually need, precise and getting pretty deep into details. But this time - I am proud! - I figured out on MY OWN..
(Ahem..I mean, the punbb explanation was clear big_smile)
