Can navbar custom link url use replacement strings?

Question

Hi all. I would like to create a custom version of the system link "Home" that links to the homepage of the current org unit.

Is it possible to copy system links? I do not see it. If not possible, then can I create a custom link that does the same? I have tried copying the custom Home link that goes specifically to id 6606, removed "6606" and then tested without adding anything and also adding {OrgUnitId}. None of them worked.

Any good ideas?

We use both courses (type = course offering) and communities (custom type = community) and for both types, it could be userfriendly to signal that this link will take them to their current org unit home page and NOT to the org home page (specific for org unit id 6606).

Any great idead? Many thanks in advance :-)

Hi Steve. Of course. I just tried inserting only /d2l/home/{OrgUnitId} and not the full URL including https://testaarhus.brightspace.com and it it works :-)

Thank you!

We certainly have nav items that include replacement strings.

I would have thought that you could create a link to /d2l/home/{OrgUnitId} in your nav?
