A couple questions from a new user

New, as just went ascendant today. :)



First, how do I add a custom navigation menu entry.  I went to  Settings, Advanced, sample custom menu.   Added in a menu entry called 'Photo Album'.in the front and back facing sections.   It appears, with the custom icon I selected, but it clicked, its a 404 error cannot find the page.  How do I create the page it points to?   I've searched and all google returns is how to add a page to the wiki, and I've already done that (several dozen times)..  I even tried to create a page in the wiki by the name I was using but that didn't work.



Second, if I cannot do a custom nav to a page, Is there a way to rename Bounties and use it for something useful?  I figured out how to change the name in the menu, but clicking it still comes up titled Bounties.

    Hopefully the forum here doesn't mess up this pasted code. It should look like thois for a custom entry on the frontend:

        <li class='css-help-main-hub active-target'>

          <a href='/wikis/css-help-main-hub'>

            <span class='nav-icon icon op-icon-page'></span><span class='nav-text'>&nbsp;&nbsp;CSS Help Hub</span>

          </a>

        </li>

    Backend should look like:

        <li class='css-help-main-hub active-target'>

          <a href='/wikis/css-help-main-hub'>

            <span class='nav-icon icon op-icon-page'></span><span class='nav-text'>CSS Help Hub</span>

          </a>

        </li>

    If yours already looks like that in the a href lines (except saying photo album instead of my CSS Help Hub), then please post the code or a screenshot here so that I can dig into it further.

    Well, I just tried that.   Same results as last time.  Bear with me, I am not a programmer, but here is what I did.  I changed the reference to 'CSS Help Hub' in these lines in both sections 

       <span class='nav-icon icon op-icon-page'></span><span class='nav-text'>&nbsp;&nbsp;Photo Album</span>

       <span class='nav-icon icon op-icon-page'></span><span class='nav-text'>Photo Album</span>



    That made it appear in the main menu.  But still gives 404 when clicked.   In these lines



       <li class='css-help-main-hub active-target'>

       <a href='/wikis/css-help-main-hub'>



    what do I change the "/wikis/css-help-main-hub" to?   Will that create the missing page that it cannot seem to find?

    The page will need to exist already, but that's easy. On any page, create a page by adding [[Photo Album]], then saving the page and click on the link that shows up for Photo Album. Fill out that new page that it takes you to, or just scroll to the bottom and save it blank. Once that is done you should be able to link to it in the nav menu by changing <a href='/wikis/css-help-main-hub'> to <a href='/wikis/photo-album'>

    From there you build it like any other page.

    Thank you, Abersade!



    Turns out I was not including the '-' (photo-album) in the href commands.   Added that and its working now!    Now, trying to find the list I found of built-in icons I found yesterday but cannot seem to find again today. :)
