This is already possible.

Just create page and check Use Url. If you put a fully qualified url with http or https it will link to the external page.

The ~/pagename.aspx syntax is only needed for using url re-writing with friendly urls internal to the site.

After linking to an external url, the only way to get back to the PageSettings for that page is through the Add/Edit Pages page.

I'll have to ponder that. The login page is not a visible page, it is really just functionality implemented as a link and as such it seems a little strange use case to put it in the menu but nevertheless I'm open to the idea.

Currently when a page is created and an url is specified in the format ~/somepage.aspx, then a friendly url record is created. In the case of ~/Secure/Login.aspx we would not want a friendly url created as this would only mask the actual physical page.

I could probably implement a convention like -/Secure/Login.aspx and not create a friendly url when that syntax is used. Then at runtime if -/ is present replace with ~/ and use ResolveUrl to create the full url.

I think it would be fairly easy to implement this way. Sound reasonable?

Thanks,

Joe
