[opencms-dev] External Links

[patric dosch]

I do not understand your problem, not really :)
The first is the redirect, you need no cms:link here, right?
The title of the external page you'll be able to save in a string element and then display it?

Thanks for the reply.

I did change it to that, but the problem remains the exact same thing.
