External Links through tab in 4.2 Nav Manager

[TankerHC]

I am sure somewhere this has been addressed, however I am unable to find the answer.

I am trying to link an external site, my Word Press Blog, through a Tab in VB 4.2

Can someone explain how I would go about doing that. When I attempt it a get the "Not linked" error.

Thanks in advance.

What are you entering in the settings in the Navigation Manager.

Title: AFO Blog

Target URL: www.blog.americanfirearmowners.com

Display order: 70 (Default)

Show permissions name:(Blank)

Append "tabid" to URL: No

Tab Scripts: (Blank)

Did you make sure active is set to yes

[TankerHC]

Yes, active is set to yes. It does activate, the tab shows up but when you click on the tab it doesnt go to the blog, it goes to no known page.

The link does go to the blog, the tab doesnt link to it.

It is now working. I added the http:// and it began working.

Was about to say about the http. Glad you got it working

Ok thats fine so far, but how can that tab or link stay selected?

What sense would it make for the tab to stay selected if the link is to an external site?

Hi
External links can open page in new windows, so when you go between your board and the new open external window it should show selected, anyway it was your last action on the board.. for me it is a cosmetic stuff

That is not possible. There's no way your site can know what happens or does not happen in another tab.
