Linking to Subdomain resource: Confusion?

Using MODX Revo our Top Navigation menu looks like:

Home | About | Services | Contact

If MODX is installed on the primary domain... say http://foo.com/ ...and outside of Modx we want to host some helpdesk ticketing type software that lives on a subdomain of or our primary domain... say http://support.foo.com/ ...what Type of Resource are we supposed to use within MODX to add this as a menu item? IE...

Home | About | Services | Support | Contact


We are assuming a Resource type of "Weblink" is the only logical choice, but we noticed on the "Weblink" settings page it has a "Response Code" set to "HTTP/1.1 301 Moved Permanently"?? << If using a Weblink resource is indeed the right choice for linking to a subdomain, is that Response Code the correct one to use in this situation?



Is using a Resource type of Weblink correct in this situation? If not, then what is the recommended procedure in MODX to have a Top Nav menu item that points to a subdomain?


Thanks in advance for helping clear up our confusion.

If the support page is a MODX resource, you should use the resource type "symlink" and enter the id of the support page.
weblinks are forwarding the users to the specified url.

Okay, i missed some of your post, since your support page is not part of MODX this solution would not work. but yes, the weblink resource type will use a 301 redirect.

How do you generate your menu?
