Lisa – we definitely don’t want broken links on our docs – if you see them and have a moment it would be great if you could report them to [email protected]! Apologies for the frustration.

Yes I got mine to work — but the idea you would create a page who’s sole function is to redirect a link for something as simple as the link on a slider is surely the most bizarre chewing gum duct tape sort of solution I’ve ever heard of. BTW ran into several promising “help” links that are dead your support docs. This whole redirect thing blows my mind — I just wrote a custom nav on my template, when it appears I should have done this through redirects. And don’t get me started on the “cache” issue when you use partial templates and the content doesn’t seem to update unless you go hit that cache button or cut and re-paste the code — at any rate by the end of this i may get the hang of it — but ya got a lot of band-aids applied to things…

Lisa – I got it to work in my test nation – http://testnation-taylorpineiro.nationbuilder.com/ if you click on the ‘should go to FB’ it goes to Facebook.

Does your redirect page work? Remember you have to put in the entire URL (http://www.facebook.com not just facebook.com) when creating the redirect page (which is a specific page type in your nation that will create a slug that you can link your slider to)

Let us know if you have any additional questions!

Trying to do the same thing and it appears this no longer will work – very odd that this can’t be an external link. The example page given not longer does this I’ve googled the crap out of this and get nothing…..
