Redirect Links!

Post by hoodedwarbler12 on June 26th 2010, 5:40 pm
If you want to make a redirect link on your forum, (a page on your forum that leads not to the forum but to another site) follow these instructions.

1. Create an new portal in Modules - Portal and Widgets - Portal Management - Portals Pages Lists
2. When the portal has been created, go to Structure - Create a Widget
3. Name your Widget.
4. In the Widget Source box, type :

Code:
<meta http-equiv="REFRESH" content="0;url=http://www.the-domain-you-want-to-redirect-to.com">


5. Save your widget and add it to the portal.
6. Back in Portal Management, click Potal Preview and copy the url past your forum domain (e.g. /portal.forum?pid=1&sid=0d9bfa6aed293a5ae5dcb8faf73ea4f1).
7. Go to Display - Homepage - Headers & Navigation - Nav links - Add a customized menu
8. Name your redirect page.
9. In the Redirection url box, paste the url you copied earlier.
10. Save it, and you have made a redirect page!
