menu entry as link to external site

Is there a manual what needs to be done to get a new menu entry with a link to an external site? I know TE wrote something like this for the impressum page. I installed the package from here, but no meny entry shows up.

I also tried to work my way through Menu.subs.php and those miracles called arrays. But it's like a mystery to me. All I want is to change the help entry in the menu to lead to http://elkarte-erste-schritte.de. This would be so great for my users. :-[

For the time being[1] it should be enough to change the href value from:
Code: [Select]
					'help' => array(
						'title' => $txt['help'],
						'href' => $scripturl . '?action=help',
						'show' => true,
					),
to:
Code: [Select]
					'help' => array(
						'title' => $txt['help'],
						'href' => 'http://elkarte-erste-schritte.de/',
						'show' => true,
					),
in Subs.php.

Great! And so it opens in a new tab:

Code: [Select]
					'help' => array(
						'title' => $txt['help'],
						'href' => 'http://elkarte-erste-schritte.de/',
						'target' => '_blank',
						'show' => true,
					),

:D

Edit: Hey, and so I can easy add new menu entries! Just copy this code and my wish is fullfilled.  :)  I rearranged the menu entries too (recent posts on top, help at last) and now it's fine! Thanks!
