To add an external page, the user can select the content type of a particular tab as a ‘Link’. The desired link can then be added in the "Add/External link" text box. To save the changes, the user, based on the privileges can choose to "Save & Preview, Save & Send for Review or Save & Publish”. The height and width of the page can also be set by clicking on the "Advanced Option" link and specifying the height and width in the respective text boxes.
Another method to add an external link is by clicking on the '
' (Insert External Link)
icon in the html editor. A pop up window appears with text boxes that
allow a user to enter the link, specify the external page width and height. Clicking
on the ‘Accept’ button adds the link to the html editor and the link is
shown as a short code in the text editor. To publish the link, the user
needs to click on the ‘Save & publish’ button. To edit the link the
user can double click the code on the text editor.
The main advantage of using this mode for adding external link is, it allows a user to add text content before or after the external link on the same page, which is not possible through the other option. It also allows a user to add any number of external links in the same page.
