Adding External Links to Discourse Home Page Menu

JQ331 is integrating a Discourse forum with a separate web app and wants to add links to the app’s pages on the forum’s top menu. Stephen recommends using a #theme-component to modify the UI, providing a guide on installation and suggesting three relevant components: Custom Top Navigation Links, Header Submenus, and Search Banner Theme Component.

I just set up discourse with business hosting. I’m trying to integrate my forum with a separate web app. From my searching around here, it looks like fully integrating the forum into the app itself would require putting it in an iframe, which I don’t want to do.

So, what I want to do is make the forum mimic the look of the app. The starting point would be the top menu, where I want to add links to different places in the app itself. Given that the app is at a separate url, these would be links to the pages of an external site.

How to I add these links to the menu of my discourse forum?

Thanks!

Here are three which may be of interest:
