Adding Menu Item in flyout-menu.xml in Saratoga
« on: May 07, 2020, 10:01:02 PM »
Hello,

I am looking for some guidance to add a menu item to the flyout menu file that comes with the Saratoga templates.

I have no problem with adding a menu item for a link to another php page on my site like:

<item caption="UV Forecast" link="wxuvforecast.php"/>

however I would like to link to my CWOP page:  http://www.findu.com/cgi-bin/wxpage.cgi?call=dw5272&last=120&radar=***

I have tried using: <item caption="CWOP" link="http://www.findu.com/cgi-bin/wxpage.cgi?call=dw5272&last=120&radar=***"/>

But then I get an error:  error on line 73 at column 99: EntityRef: expecting ';' 

Any ideas?

Thanks,

Tim

You need to replace all the ‘&’ with ‘&amp;amp;’ in the URL so the XML parser will be happy (and your page can continue to validate).
