I am creating an Intranet that contains multiple spaces. Each department is its own space, and the menu bar navigation that runs thru the entire site links to each of these spaces. I use relative linking, because I have Test and Production servers that I push the changes thru. This is a snippet of the code I use:
{menu}Departments
{menuitem}{menulink:custom|link=./display/CORP/Administration}Administration{menulink}{menuitem}
{menuitem}{menulink:custom|link=./display/CORP/HR}Human Resources{menulink}{menuitem}
{menuitem}{menulink:custom|link=./display/IT/Information+Technology}Information Technology{menulink}{menuitem}
{menuitem}{menulink:custom|link=./display/MKTG/Marketing}Marketing{menulink}{menuitem}
{menu}
This works perfectly in all spaces, until I go to the Space Admin pages or try to Edit/Add a page. This is because the link structure changes from /display/SpaceName/pageName to just /pages/pageName. So when it hits this link, it moves back an extra directory and breaks the link.
It seems like there should be a simple solution for this, but I've tried several things and cannot make it work. I am open to any suggestions!
I am using Theme Builder 3.3.3, Confluence 2.10, and I greatly appreciate your help!

You would be much better off with using either the Menulink Aliases Tab or use a 'normalView' menulink and set the page/space.

If I use the Menulink Aliases, when transferring them to my Production server, are they included in the Themes when I export them to a file, or will I have to create these from scratch in Production?

I have chosen the radio button next to URL, entered the URL PWCorp:Claims, the Alias claimsBio, and left Rel blank (not sure what it's for?).
Any thoughts - I have a printscreen, but the forum isn't letting me upload it to this post.
Thanks again for your help!

Then I added the menulink:
{menuitem}{menulink:claimsBio}Claims{menulink}{menuitem}When I use the link, it clears the address bar and just puts pwcorp:claims in the address bar and doesn't forward to the space. Do you know what I am missing?

{menuitem}{menulink:custom|link=./display/IT/Information+Technology}Information Technology{menulink}{menuitem}Use this (from memory - check the "wikiPage" is a valid location in the docs):
{compound-menuitem:wikiPage|space=IT|page=Information Technology}That should work - I assume you've set the correct base URL on your staging/test instance?
