Allow Navigation Links To Support External Urls

[Blesta Addons]

as the title say , allow navigation links to support the external url .

 

that was possible in the previous version, now something has broken the feature .

I second this. I use an external support system and would like to make all support links link to it and not to blesta itself.

+1, so all the nav system would be upgraded so it goes to {base_url}linksnow

Doesn't your Admin Tools plugin allow modification of the nav? If the URL can't be external, couldn't the plugin perform a redirect?

 

The Portal plugin is intended to become a more feature rich CMS in time, and nav links to external resources would almost certainly be part of that.

the admin tools plugins allow modification , and it work as it should be , the probleme come from the navigation link that add the base_uri for every link .

so if we put http://www.blesta.com in link , in the client dashboard it become

http://your_blesta_domain.com/blesta_path/clien/thttp://www.blesta.com

If the plugin were modified to take that path, have it touch the plugin, and the plugin perform a redirect, that would work wouldn't it?

 

So instead, the link might look like http://your_blesta_domain.com/blesta_path/client/plugin/yourplugin?url=http://www.blesta.com

 

And, the URL is passed in as say a get parameter, and the plugin validates that it's a legitimate nav link and performs a redirect.

i have though about this idea when i have discovered that problem . but it need a regex when saving url in database to see if the link is internal or external .

 

if the navigation model will not updated soon i will add that function in the next release . but it will take some time until the next release .
