Hi Sébastien,

The menu code expects to find a Struts action as a link - which is always relative to the current webapp. I've attached a modified menu.jsp file which checks to see if an 'action' starts with 'http' and generates an external link.

Alternatives are to provide a custom Help action which does a redirect, or, if you front Tomcat with Apache, use a RewriteRule.

Hi,

How do you can change the location of the link in the left-side menu ? We
would like to have it link to our internal wiki hosted on an other server.



I tried putting the wiki URL in the menu-items.xml, but it simply appends
it to Grouper's application URL (e.g.
http://my-server/grouperhttp://intrawiki.com/GrouperHelp/Home)

I tried adding a JSP redirect to the Wiki in help.jsp, but it does
nothing.



Any ideas ?

Thanks
