how can i go to external url link from smarty tpl file. presta 1.7

[arvistar]

Hello everyone. 

My prestashop is 1.7.8.7

In my module tpl file I need to navigate to a sidelink (external url). :

<p><a href="{$mylink}" />external</a></p>

where $mylink = 'https://other_site.com'

but the result is: 'https://my_prestashop_site.com/admin/www://other_site.com'

Please advise how to solve the problem. What am I doing wrong? Where can I read about it? Thanks for the any answers.

How do you fill $mylink?

[arvistar]

I fill it from controler.php file.

How exactly ?

Here is how I pass variables from the controller (php) to the smarty template (tpl) in MyModule:

Class MyModuleController extends AdminController {
	public function __construct()
    {
        parent::__construct();
        $this->bootstrap = true;
        $this->id_lang = $this->context->language->id;
        $this->default_form_language = $this->context->language->id;
    }
	 public function initContent()
    {
        parent::initContent();
		$link = 'https://other_site.com'; // The Right Solution
		// $link = 'www.other_site.com'; // Wrong decision
		$this->context->smarty->assign('mylink', $link);	
	}

}

This is how I get the variables in the smarty template :

<div>
  <p><a href="{$mylink}">External</a></p>
</div>

I will be very grateful for your help. Thank you

I found my mistake. The problem was that I was giving the variable the value "www.other_site.com". The correct solution is: "https://other_site.com".

Guys, I'm very sorry for your lost time.
