Graphical Navigation Links - Linking to CMSMS pages??

Post by slimboyfatz33 »

Hi ,

Pretty new to CMSMS, and was wondering if it is possible to create a link to a CMSMS page from a graphical nav link??

I have created a template in XHTML/CSS and have navigation links set up, basically items in an list, they are image rollovers! I was wondering if i can link from them to CMSMS pages? The only reason i ask this is because there is a CMSMS module (menu-manager, i think) which adds its own navigation items on the fly, i do not really want this, but to code if possbile a hard link to my pages...i hope that kinda made sense?!?

much appreciated!!!

You can do that - just write the code into your template, or create a Global Content Block and call that in your template. But if your navigation is a list, why can't you use the Menu Manager to create it? It's MUCH more convenient than hand-coding.

I would use Menu Manager but i want to keep my images graphically the same (font included) as the buttons i created in Photoshop, not your normal colored bar navigation, which i think 'menu-manager' is only capable of....or i am wrong???

Menu Manager does whatever you tell it to. All it does is loop through the pages of your site and output the code for them; you can create your own templates so it can generate the exact code you need.
