Direct link in menu

Jari · Post by **Jari** » Fri 14. May 2004, 19:08

Hi.

I have a phpBB support forum on my site and now i wonder if it's possible to have a direct link in the left menu to my forum?

I don't want to have my visitors click a link in the menu so a article opens so they find a link to my support forum, I want them to get in to the forum just by clicking the link in the menu.

And I guess my first question will answer my second one

but is it possible to have a "Home" link in the left menu if I don't want to have the breadcrumb ?

I know I can have the same index-page as an copy in the articles but can it be solved in another way ?

Create a structure level called "Forum" for example. Then, when you are creating article under it there is an option "redirect to" where you enter address for your forum.

Well you could also install the newest CVS version and use the content part "ext. content"

- New content part "External Content" with the same functionality as the
{PHP...} replacement tag. It can do the following:
- include file from "content/pages" and all subdirs there
- include custom file or URL
While processing it checks for the <body> HTML tag - if <body></body> is
found everything between <body>...</body> will be returned.

I am not sure if this works - phpBB is a very complex system. I honestly don't believe this is going to work. The redirect tip seems the best solution to me...

Ok, I haven't seen any cvs version, where can I download it ?

I also run my own firm and I'm going to integrate my webdesign to this great CMS

I'm going to take away the links to layout and templates in the admin so my clients don't screw up my design.

I hope there will not be any problems when I delete thoes link in admin, I was thinking of if there is some code that test the admin part if thoes links is missing in the files it will give errors ?

Then I will skip it

I think it is easy enough to do what pa said.
