Creating an External Page Link

Create a re-usable URL shortcut to an external page from your site using a Page Link.

Implementation:

  1. Click to access the Content Delivery tab.
  2. Click Page Links to access the Page Links panel within Site Map Inspector.
  3. Click the New Page Link button.
  4. In the New Page Link dialog type a unique name for the page link into the Link Reference Name field. This name will be used to refer to the link elsewhere on the site.
  5. Select the External Web Address radio button to confirm the link is to an external resource.
  6. Type a valid full URL into the <Site>/ field.
  7. (Optional) Click to manually validate an external URL. This will attempt to open the specified URL in your default browser.

You can render a string containing the target URL of a page link by using a special Element tag called LINK in your markup.

  1. Click Save.
