I would like to add a couple of menu links that open a new page to display in. How would you do that with Menu Control? Thanks.

Oh I may have just seen the answer. I haven't installed the new upgrade. Maybe new window is an option there. I'll do that first. thanks.

it is an option, but only for all links.

maybe an update could change this, and have a seperate one for each link?

Yup it can be done if enough people would like that as an option

I just installed the upgrade for 1.2 to 1.3 and then deleted the code as specified in the Navbar template and replaced it with $menucontrol. But when I did this the second menu disappeared. I plugged the code back in that I had deleted and deleted $menucontrol and the menu line is back. Why doesn't $menucontrol work? Thanks.

Did you recieve any errors during the upgrade? Also - have you made sure when you upgraded you turned the menu on in the main options display?

ncangler · #**199** 02-13-2006, 07:45 PM

No errors on the upgrade. It seemed to go smoothly. And when I went into Version 1.3 Final in the AdminCP it was already turned on.

ncangler · #**200** 02-13-2006, 07:48 PM

Hi Marky. I would definitely like this as an option. I only have a couple of pages that I'd like to open in a new window but don't know how I could do that code wise in 1.3. Thanks.

Just to make sure...when you say "turned the menu on in the main options display?", you mean as in the attached image correct?
