Dynamically generate external link as menu item?

Hello,

I have a database that has urls to external web sites. Can I dynamically generate a menu (or sub menu) where the links created are to the external site? When I simply select the table column to "Add to link," Menu Writer appends it to the site url, generating a link like this: www.ExternalSite.com.

Are all of the links for that part of the dynamic menu external? If so you can just remove the root url reference in the menu.php page. In this file you can find the dynamic links and just remove the root url reference.

Look for this:

<?php do { ?>

        <li><a href="<?php echo($assumedRoot); ?><?php echo $row_menuwriter_links["url"]; ?>"><?php echo $row_menuwriter_links["url"]; ?></a></li>

<?php } while ($row_menuwriter_links = mysql_fetch_assoc($menuwriter_links)); ?>

Change it to be like this:

<?php do { ?>

        <li><a href="<?php echo $row_menuwriter_links["url"]; ?>"><?php echo $row_menuwriter_links["url"]; ?></a></li>

<?php } while ($row_menuwriter_links = mysql_fetch_assoc($menuwriter_links)); ?>

Ah, that should work. Thank you!
