Menu item as link

Is there a way to make a menu item that is a direct link?

For example, if I create a menu item "Search", can I have that be a link directly to lmgtfy.com?

If not, I'd like to make that a request. Please.

[SOLVED] Clean theme - dropdown menu for subpages

I have worked out a pretty good dropdown menu system. If there weren't mobile devices, it would have been easy :)

I will post a link to a site that's using it, just as soon as I get permission from them. If they nix using their site, I'll make a demo site.

REQUEST: SimpleBlog description and keywords

Part 1: For posts, it would be beneficial to have a keywords field. The "automatic" method is only useful if you make your first text a keyword-heavy mess. Eventually, it would be really cool to pass the blog post to an AI and let it create the description and keywords automagically! Meanw...

SUGGESTIONS: several small (I hope) things

I've been using WCMS for over a month now. Like everything, it has pros and cons; however, for now it's doing the job I need it to do. There are some niggles I've noticed, so I thought I'd make them into suggestions. ### BACKUPS ALERT When creating a site and making frequent backups, it would be use...

[SOLVED] Re: Overload private functions in $Wcms?

Never mind. Instead, I copied menu() and renderPageNavMenuItem() into functions.php. There, I made a few tweaks of $this to $Wcms. In theme.php I call menu() instead of $Wcms->menu(). It's working, so now I can proceed with the theme. There might be some gotcha with plugins or something, but not tha...

Re: [edited] Contact form w/spam protection?

Cool! I'm glad I could give a little back.

When you do implement it, you should probably use the POST method since GET is deprecated and liable to be dropped at any time.

I don't keep a website for myself, but it's Scott Smith aka grimblefritz.

Thanks!

Overload private functions in $Wcms?

I'm working on a new theme. I need a mostly new renderPageNavMenuItem(), which is defined as a private function in the Wcms class. I don't do much PHP OOP stuff. Understand it barely enough to be dangerous. Can I overload renderPageNaveMenuItem() and if so, how? If not, then I can take a shot at mod...

Re: H1 heading tag

I simply don't use the H1 tag. There are just too many gotchas with it. Your ranking can take a hit if H1 is: omitted hidden by any of several methods, all considered black hat placed in <footer> which often makes sense, but is considered bad form exactly equal to <title> too dissimilar from <title>...

Re: [SOLVED] Contact form w/spam protection?

I have this working. I'll try to describe the solution so it's useful for everyone. First, of course, go to hcaptcha.com and register. This will get you the "sitekey" and "secret" you'll need. Next, you'll make a couple of edits to your theme.php. I use the Clean theme. If you ar...
