We have a multistore wise set up. And in the navigation menu i have some images, I like to link to some category pages. So we have 4 different "stores" - mag.outdoorequipped.com/active - mag.outdoorequipped.com/outdoor - mag.outdoorequipped.com/fashion - mag.outdoorequipped.com/work In each we have subcategories like brands/asics etc– Simon VetterliOct 7, 2015 at 8:12

Instead of writing "hardcoded" mag.outdoorequipped.com/active I like to write and use a variable for it... But I do not know if a variable given from Magento exist or not.– Simon VetterliOct 7, 2015 at 8:16

Magento has handy helpers so that you don't need to hard code the links. You can use the following to go to mag.outdoorequipped.com/active in a phtml file:
Mage::getBaseUrl(Mage_Core_Model_Store::URL_TYPE_WEB) . '/active'
or in a cms block:
{{store url="/active"}}
In phtml files
- Get Base Url :
Mage::getBaseUrl(); - Get Skin Url :
Mage::getBaseUrl(Mage_Core_Model_Store::URL_TYPE_SKIN); - Get Media Url :
Mage::getBaseUrl(Mage_Core_Model_Store::URL_TYPE_MEDIA); - Get Js Url :
Mage::getBaseUrl(Mage_Core_Model_Store::URL_TYPE_JS); - Get Store Url :
Mage::getBaseUrl(Mage_Core_Model_Store::URL_TYPE_WEB); - Get Current Url
Mage::helper('core/url')->getCurrentUrl();
In cms pages or static blocks
- Get Base Url :
{{store url=""}} - Get Skin Url :
{{skin url='images/imagename.jpg'}} - Get Media Url :
{{media url='/imagename.jpg'}} - Get Store Url :
{{store url='mypage.html'}}

Okay, I see, so I have my html code at the moment under categories, then "Menu". And there I have my html code... I can put there instead html code a static block? Oct 7, 2015 at 8:43

correct so inside your static block add
{{store url="/active"}}which should give you the correct url– rob3000Oct 7, 2015 at 8:47 -
So if I like to have in my href="mag.outdoorequipped.com/active/brands/asics.html" I need to do in the static block: href="{{store url="/active"}}/brands/asics.html" ? Oct 7, 2015 at 8:50
-
then it would need to be {{store url="/active/brands/asics"}} magento will work out the rest but just double check first.– rob3000Oct 7, 2015 at 8:52

okay, I see, will test it later. Where I need it is here: mag.outdoorequipped.com/active And then in the navigation menu I have under "Brands" 6 images with links. Oct 7, 2015 at 8:53
I did as followed and it works for me nice:
<div class="row">
<div class="col-sm-2"><a href="{{store direct_url="brands/clarks.html"}}"><img alt="" src="{{media url="wysiwyg/menulogo/fashion/clarks.jpg"}}" /></a></div>
<div class="col-sm-2"><a href="{{store direct_url="brands/dr-martens.html"}}"><img alt="" src="{{media url="wysiwyg/menulogo/fashion/drmartens.jpg"}}" /></a></div>
<div class="col-sm-2"><a href="{{store direct_url="brands/kenneth-cole.html"}}"><img alt="" src="{{media url="wysiwyg/menulogo/fashion/kennethcole.jpg"}}" /></a></div>
<div class="col-sm-2"><a href="{{store direct_url="brands/royal-robbins.html"}}"><img alt="" src="{{media url="wysiwyg/menulogo/fashion/royalrobbins.jpg"}}" /></a></div>
<div class="col-sm-2"><a href="{{store direct_url="brands/sebago.html"}}"><img alt="" src="{{media url="wysiwyg/menulogo/fashion/sebago.jpg"}}" /></a></div>
<div class="col-sm-2"><a href="{{store direct_url="brands/gh-bass.html"}}"><img alt="" src="{{media url="wysiwyg/menulogo/fashion/ghbass.jpg"}}" /></a></div>
