link to external url behaviour (why not going directly external?)since i had some problems with a "link to external url" menu (in a multilanguage, multidomain, reaurled site.. the links were not going "out" but always loaded the home page)
i was wandering: WHY shouldn't a "link to external URL" page have the extenal URL as direct link (instead of passing to it's typo3 ID page and then do the jump? i could make it easily insert a custom PHP script in the HMENU generation.. but shouldn't it be a core option? ciao stefano _______________________________________________ TYPO3-dev mailing list TYPO3-dev@... http://lists.netfielders.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/typo3-dev |

It's simple in TS.

Search this list--your question has been answered > several times. really so simple in TS? i said that i could make it via a custom PHP script that i add to the NO MenuItems: NO.allStdWrap.postUserFunc = user_functions->user_modifyToExternalUrl where user_modifyToExternalUrl is: <?php class user_functions { function user_modifyToExternalUrl($content, $conf){ // if link type is "external url" replace link to redirecting page with external url if($this->cObj->data['doktype'] == 3){ $content = preg_replace('/(<a[^>]*href=")[^"]*("[^>]*>)/','$1http://'.$this->cObj->data['url'].'$2', $content); } return $content; } } ?> what i ask is: why do these external links pass via the internal pages, and not show straight the external URL in the menus? what is the advantage to have them working like they do now? thanks! stefano _______________________________________________ TYPO3-dev mailing list TYPO3-dev@... http://lists.netfielders.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/typo3-dev |

The only advantage I can see is that you will have the page hit logged in your web server statistics. If you don't need this, you would be fine with a directed external URL in your menus and inline links.

Yes: http://support.typo3.org/snippets/c/105/ And unlike your user function, with TS you don't have to build the link wrong and then fix it--you can just do it right in the first place. -- Christopher Torgalson http://www.typo3apprentice.com/ _______________________________________________ TYPO3-dev mailing list TYPO3-dev@... http://lists.netfielders.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/typo3-dev |

Because of the statistics. TYPO3 can gather number of visits to each page (see config.stat) and show them in BE. This way you will know how many people click on the external links. It is helpful for "exit" pages. -- Dmitry Dulepov TYPO3 core team Mr. Harris: People say that you were the last person to speak with Jordon... Is that true? Cameron: I don't know. Are you asking me if people say I was the last person to talk to Jordon? Or are you asking me if I was the last person to talk to her? Mr. Harris: I guess I'm asking if you were. Cameron: I don't know. _______________________________________________ TYPO3-dev mailing list TYPO3-dev@... http://lists.netfielders.de/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/typo3-dev |

TYPO3 can gather number of visits to each page (see config.stat) and show them in BE. This way you will know how many people click on the external links. It is helpful for "exit" pages. Also permit to have the External Page visible in your Sitemap as if it was a local one.
