External links on your Site's Navigation Widget

Adding extra options to a site menu

A useful hack for menus

UPDATED - FrogCode widg

A popular request on the Ideas Portal is to be able to add external links to a site's menu and to be able to link directly to a sub page of a site.  While we're waiting on such a development, this tutorial should allow you to replicate the end-user functionality.

To make things easier, we have created a FrogCode widget that handles most of the code for you.

You can still use the HTML code but either can change Frog's menus to:

  • Open another page on the same site
  • Open an external website in a new tab
  • Open a Frog Site
