Simple menu problem

[bhaycox]

Hi all,

I just wanted to knock a quick website together for a new business venture. It's been a while since I've used cms and I'm struggling to get the horizontal menu working, I've added the appropriate stylesheet to the template but when I add a second page it the menu is vertical.

I'm using version 1.10.3 because the server software would run the newest version. This is a host I've used before and no issues in the past.

website is www.staffordshireoak.co.uk

thanks

no one?

I'm using {menu template='cssmenu.tpl'} as the tag for the menu I have tried {menu} but still the menu is vertical. It must be something very simple I'm overlooking...

The home page template is whacky with

Code: Select all

< body><table>$content</table>< /body>

and may create unwanted layout so I'd suggest starting with a simpler (responsive) design.

I realise that the site is supposed to be a quick knock-up but CMSms v1 days are numbered - official support ends in September - so, imo, it's well worth hitting the learning curve now.

Appreciate the input mate, that's the way I always did it before, create a temple in Fireworks and slice it up. I really don't have time to learn the new stuff so may have to resort back to HTML if I can't get a resolve to the menu issue.

It's got to be something simple I've overlooked.

Looking now, there's no css at all -- are the stylesheets associated with the right template?

I've added the appropriate stylesheet to the template
.......
I'm using version 1.10.3

Just took a look at the site and there was no stylesheet linked so that's the first place to start.

By using an old version you're just creating problems for yourself in future IMHO. If you must use V1 at least use the latest version, if you post error messages it should be possible for the gurus here to determine why it isn't working on your server.

don't know why the stylesheet wasn't included. I've updated to the latest V1 version and included a horizontal style sheet but still the menu displays vertically - what am I missing?

[bhaycox]

sorted it now - for some reason the simple horizontal stylesheet wouldn't work so opted for another for now - I'll tweak the colours at some point just need the sit eup and running for customers to visit. When we start making more money from the venture we'll get the site professionally designed

thanks for the help guys
