Adding Links to a External Joomla Menu

November 14, 2009

Step 1:

From your control panel click on the “menu Manager” icon
Menu Manager

Find the menu you wish to edit, which is called “External Links” in the example, then just right of this under the “menu items” column click on the small icon as shown in the image below.

External Links

Once clicked it will display a list of all your current links, to create a new link click on the “new” icon at the top right of the page.

Once the page has loaded from the menu type click on the “external link” option.

Now you can fill in all the details for your new link. Under the link always add the “http://” to the start of the link and for the “On Click, Open in:” select “new window with browser Navigation” so that it opens in a new window and doesn’t take them away from your site. Once completed click on save. (See image below)
