Look to the default content and you will see many different menu types I'm sure you will find one to fit your needs...

How do I add my own menu?
I've been watching this video tutorial but it has no English Audio or sub titles http://cmsmadesimple.org/uploads/media/mint_chocolate.htm. I followed all the steps, however, it doesn't show you how to add your own HTML / CSS menu.

Any suggestions?

Thanks

Any suggestions?

Check the module help for MenuManager and the MenuManager entry in the admin "Layout" menu.

Thanks Dee

How do I make it easy to add / change a menu as a wysiwyg instead of viewing it HTML codes?

[Dr.CSS]

There is no wysiwyg for the menus, if you have existing code then look at what it's triggers are then look at the source of your page and look at what it's triggers are and change the CSS to correspond to yours...

The closest you'll ever come to a wysiwyg is to use Firefox with the Web Dev. toolbar...

I see! So this makes it harder for my client to use cmsms then? Ideally, you have to build the template that is less changeable for the client and only have them add content and a new page.

I know how to add my template and stylesheet to cmsms but all those pages are copy and paste from my old html pages.
So is there a good example tutorial or demo on how to build your template and add pages to cmsms...the best way of doing this and showing me an example?

Thanks

How does this make things harder for your client? The end user/your client normally wouldn't have to change the menu template or CSS once finished, they just add/edit content and pages and the menu is automatically changed.

Your thinking like flat file html, one of the biggest reasons to use any CMS is so you don't have to add a link to the menu for each new page...

Have you read the default content?... like http://dezertdesign.com/default/index.p ... nu-manager

It goes thru your pages in Content > Pages...

Sweet! Pretty much I would build the site and only have end user/your client add/edit content in pages. I have some css in my content pages, and it looks like there is no way a end user/client will know what to do especially in the wysiwyg

I can use it with ease but if this was given to a end user/client, is this how its meant to look?
