Hi, Does anyone know if it's possible to set up a DDR menu and have it reference pages in a different portal from the page that the menu is on?

Thanks

Tom

Tom,

add a page (that would add also a menu entry). In the Page Settings, move to the tab "Advanced Settings", and at the bottom of the page, in the panel "Other Settings", change "Link Url" from "None" to "URL (a Link to an External Resource)". Enter the location, check "Open Link in New Browser Window" if you want, and you're done.

Happy DNNing!
Michael

PS: The "Open Link in New Browser Window" never worked for me, at least not in some older versions of DNN - I don't know if this has been corrected yet, but a workaround is using this little JavaScript as the URL and leave the checkbox unchecked:

  window.open('http://www.someotherportal.com/SomeContent/ThatsInteresting');location.reload(true);

Yes, this little error was fixed earlier in the year.  

If you are using the ULTokens template, the replacement is here: https://github.com/MarkXA/ddrmenutemplates/blob/master/ULTokens/ULTokens.txt

The "fix" is the inclusion of this:  [?TARGET]target="[=TARGET]"[/?]

twice in the template. 

All of the templates have been fixed.  Look for the note "Resolves #3" and look for references to "target" in the template code to verify.

Thanks for your replies. I didn't form my question correctly.
What I meant to ask was: when using DDR menu inside a skin file, can I reference TaIDs from different portal? I have many portals under one DNN instance. I've place d a DDR menu in my skin file:


However, if I place a TabID into the NodeSelector that refers to a Tab which is in a different portal (has a different PortalID) that the page which is using this skin, the Menu doesn't show anything. Is there a way to reference/ or specify a different portal in this case?

Thank you again

Also, thanks for the information about the "Open in New Browser" fix. In what version of DNN did that first get fixed?

Thanks again

I tried to include my DDR menu server tag, but it didnt get into my message. Here are the contents of the tag:

dnn:MENU MenuStyle="sccDeptNav" runat="server" NodeSelector="3452,0,2" IncludeHidden="false"
