Header menu direct to external url

[linan2332]

Hi,
I am looking for a way to be able to direct user to external url when he click on one of the menu item on the header. I have found "https://github.com/pitaj/nodebb-plugin-header-extend" but it seems like the plugin has being outdated for a while. Does anyone has good solution to this problem?

@linan2332 you don't need a plugin for that. You can add menu items in ACP -> General -> Navigation

Just drag and drop "Custom Route" from available menu items on the right and set route to the external url.

Appreciate the response..I should have look into it more carefully... my bad

Is it possible open a new window instead of redirecting within the page?

@linan2332 Yes, there should be a toggle for that just before the "Delete" and Enable/Disable" buttons for the navigation item.
