Newbie Question - How To Add Links To The Navbar?

[glenbelt]

Does anyone know how to link to an external website on the navigation bar of the forum?

Would this line work?

<a href="http://www.myurl.com/$session[sessionurl_q]">My URL</a>

Also what does the "$session[sessionurl_q]" line of code do?



Thanks for any help offered

Session IDs are used when users have cookies disabled.

If you are linking to another site, then you don't need the session id. That is just used on your own site.

Definitely, it would be potentially dangerous as well.

Ah right okay, thanks guys.

So when linking out to the site I should simply do it in this way?:

<a href="http://www.myurl.com/">My URL</a>

Thanks again for all the help

If you are linking to another site, then just use the url. In other words, if your site is at yoursite.com and you want to link to anothersite.com, then you would do it how you posted above.
