The sitebuilder application won't let you make a forum, photogallery and a few other page types second level links. The system will also not let you create a second level link to a top level page. Finally site builder will not let you create multiple first or second level links to the same page often requiring you to duplicate pages.
Never fear, there is a solution to all of these problems and it's only 1 line of code.
To create a menu link (at any level) to any page in your website you can do the following:
1. Preview your website and navigate to the page you ultimately want a menu link for.
2. Write down the page url: example: page001.aspx
3. Go back to the SB designer and add a 'file download' page type to your site
4. Slide this page into your site's menu where you want the link to be.
5. Go to the 'Pages' section of the editor and then click on the 'File Download' page you just created in your menu
6. Next open notepad type the following (replacing the page001.aspx with the file name you wrote down in step 2):
<META HTTP-EQUIV="Refresh" CONTENT="0; URL=page001.aspx">
7. Save this file as 'MyRedirect.html', make sure that it is an html file and not a text file.
8. Go back to sitebuilder and upload the 'MyRedirect.html' file as the downloadable file on your 'file download' page.
9. Click the checkbox to allow this file to be opened by the browser and save the 'file download' page.
10. Finally preview your website, find the 'file download' link and click it, it should take you to your page.
