Designate Alternate Links for Buttons

This section allows you to redirect your main menu buttons to another page or website rather than the page the system designates. When you Add A New Page (under the Edit Pages section), the system directs that page link to that specific page. For example, when you add a new page called Blog, when someone clicks on the Blog link in your main menu, they go to your blog page (which you edit by clicking on the Edit Pages icon, finding the page in the list, and then clicking on Edit for that page). But you may want that person to be directed to your blog on WordPress or Blogger (or whatever program you're using for your blog). You can also use this feature to link your main menu buttons to your shopping cart categories. This section allows you to direct your menu menu buttons to whatever page you want.

First, you need to need to highlight and copy the url for the page where you want people to end up when they click on your main menu button. Then, go back to your Management Console, click on the Page Properties icon at the top, click on the Designate Alternate Links for Buttons section, find the bracelets page in the list, click in the box next to the page name and pages in the url. Submit your changes.

• Example: Link to Shopping Cart Category: You added a new page called Bracelets and you want people to see the bracelets you added to your shopping cart when they click on that Bracelets page.

  First, you need to make sure that you have a category called bracelets in your shopping cart. If you have not done this yet, click on the Shopping Cart icon at the top, click on the Add Category link, add the name of your category and submit.

  Second, go to your website by clicking on the Website Home icon at the top and click on whatever page that currently shows your entire shopping cart.

  Third, click on the Bracelets category in the category listing.

  Fourth, go up to the address bar, highlight and copy the entire url.

Fifth, go back to your Management Console, click on the Page Properties icon at the top, click on the Designate Alternate Links for Buttons section, find the bracelets page in the list, click in the box next to the page name and pages in the url. Submit your changes.

Now, go to your website (by clicking on the Website Home icon at the top), and click on the Main Menu button that you linked (in the above example, you would click on Bracelets). Do you end up in the correct place? If not, repeat the above steps making sure that you initially copied the correct url.

The process above will be the similar for any page you want to link - whether it is on your website or some other website. All you need is the url for the page where you want people to end up when they click on the button from the Main Menu.
