Menu Set Up - NEED HELP

[000justin000]

I've installed the latest version of CMSms. I watched the video (http://cmsmadesimple.org/uploads/media/ ... colate.htm) a thousand times, but I can't figure out how to set up the navigation menu. I have a menu similar to the one in the video so what woks for that site should work for mine, but it looks like the video skipped a step. Could someone just tell me how to create a menu?

Here's what I'm doing:

I've inserted the menu tag suggested in the video, {cms_module module='menumanager'} in the layout, and I've linked the correct style sheet to the layout.

Now what???

Here's my site with CMSms - www.itracedesigns.com/index.php
This is what it should look like - www.itracedesigns.com/index.html

I don't see a difference.

That's because I used my own html and just linked the pages with an absolute URL. I'm going to switch it back now so that you can see the difference.

Here is the HTML menu I want:

Code: Select all

<ul id="nav">
	<li class="home"><a href="index.html"><span>Home</span></a></li>
    <li><img src="itrace/images_pages/pages_r2_c7.gif" width="16" height="57" alt="" /></li>
    <li class="about"><a href="itrace/about.html"><span>Who is Justin Stevens</span></a></li>
    <li><img src="itrace/images_pages/pages_r2_c10.gif" width="16" height="57" alt="" /></li>
    <li class="portfolio"><a href="itrace/portfolio.html"><span>Portfolio</span></a></li>
    <li><img src="itrace/images_pages/pages_r2_c12.gif" width="15" height="57" alt="" /></li>
    <li class="contact"><a href="itrace/contact.html"><span>Contact</span></a></li>
    <li><img src="itrace/images_pages/pages_r2_c14.gif" width="139" height="57" alt="" /></li>
</ul>

I want this to work with the CMSms menu, but I don't know how to accomplish this. Will I need to go into the "Menu Manager" create a new menu template, and past this code in place? Then what? How do I call it into the page? Do I need to use nodes? What extra scripting do I have to do?

Thank you.

Please see how it works (page template, menu template) on a fresh new install with sample content.
