Menu editing

Post by noidea »

Hello to everyone,
I'm new CMSms user and it will sound like a very stupid question but I've lost almost 1 hour trying to figure out how to edit already existing menu names. Can you explain what I'm supposed to do?
Is there some text file to modify? I've looked at at least 50 files around but there is no menu names :(
Precisly I'd like to edit those:
Home, Content Types , Menus/Navigation systems, Templates and Stylesheets, Extensions menu names or do I have to write a new one? And if you can explain me in a few steps how to do it...
I'll really appreciate some help about this...
Anyway looks like a best and fastest CMS around!!

I think this is what you're talking about.

In the admin section go to "Content >> Pages" click on one of the page names.

You will then see fields for the page name and the menu text.

1) Yes, to edit the menu appearance you edit the appropriate stylesheet
2) Moving a site is a little tricky.  A module is being built to help with that, but I'm not sure of it's status.  Here are the basic steps:
      a) Do an sql dump of your database
          put the output .sql file into the cms installation directory
          i.e.:    mysqldump cms > /output.sql
      b) tar (or zip) up your complete cms installation directory
          cd
          tar zcvf /tmp/cms_install.tar.gz .
      c) transfer the resulting .tar.gz or .zip file to the destination location and expand it
          in the new destination directory.
      d) create the new database on the new server, and generate a username and password that has access to that database.
            i.e:  create database cms;
                    grant all privileges on cms.* to user@localhost identified by 'password';
      e) import the data from the sql file generated in step a back into the database
            mysql cms < output.sql
      f) edit the config.php file in the new directory appropriately to point to the
          correct database, and to fix the url's and paths.
