How to use widgets of menuitems

General Miscellaneous
1

Hello!

I’m a newbie of YII.

I want to utilize a foreign link on my site, how to make it work.

The link is like the YII home page, the link is Development

The code of HTML is shown below:

<li class="development"><a class="main" href="github.com/yiisoft/yii/commits/master">Development</a>

Please help me found out the reasons, thanks.

&lt;?php


NavBar::begin([


    'brandLabel' =&gt; 'YII',


    'brandUrl' =&gt; Yii::&#036;app-&gt;homeUrl,


    'options' =&gt; [


        'class' =&gt; 'navbar-inverse navbar-fixed-top',


    ],


]);


&#036;menuItems = [


    ['label' =&gt; 'Home', 'url' =&gt; ['/site/index']],


    ['label' =&gt; 'About', 'url' =&gt; ['/site/about']],


    ['label' =&gt; 'Contact', 'url' =&gt; ['/site/contact']],


    ['label' =&gt; 'Notes', 'url' =&gt; ['/notes/index']],


];


if (Yii::&#036;app-&gt;user-&gt;isGuest) {


    &#036;menuItems[] = ['label' =&gt; 'Signup', 'url' =&gt; ['/site/signup']];


    &#036;menuItems[] = ['label' =&gt; 'Login', 'url' =&gt; ['/site/login']];


    &#036;menuItems[] = ['label' =&gt; 'Development', 'link' =&gt; 'github.com/yiisoft/yii/commits/master','linkOptions' =&gt; array('target' =&gt; '_blank')];


	


} else {


    &#036;menuItems[] = [


        'label' =&gt; 'Logout (' . Yii::&#036;app-&gt;user-&gt;identity-&gt;username . ')',


        'url' =&gt; ['/site/logout'],


        'linkOptions' =&gt; ['data-method' =&gt; 'post']


    ];


}


echo Nav::widget([


    'options' =&gt; ['class' =&gt; 'navbar-nav navbar-right'],


    'items' =&gt; &#036;menuItems,


]);


NavBar::end();


?&gt;

I use the code above, however, there is no link but open a new window.

“The https is deleted, for I’m a newbie and don’t have access to use link”

$menuItems[] = ['label' => 'Development', 'url' => 'https://github.com/yiisoft/yii/commits/master','linkOptions' => ['target' => '_blank']];
