Menu Manager and Menus

Post by franksmith »

Could somebody describe how the Menu system works?(1.06b)    I do not understand the concept. 
I made copy a standard templete 'left simple navigation + 1 column'  and saved it as 'battymenu' and entered '{menu template='battymenu.tpl' collapse='1'}
I get lots of smarty errors.

if i import the menu into the Menu Manager i get similar errors.

The errors are multiple errors but mainly relate to not being able to find the template!

I would appreciate any help as I am now totally confused!

I am relatively new to CMS (and most thing web based) but am astounded as what CMSMS can do - You all really have produced a classic!!!

When you make a template just call the name of it with out .tpl ...

{menu template='battymenu' collapse='1'}

I had already tried this with exactly the same results.  So!  I copied ALL the templates and stylesheets from a new installation and got the very same errors.  To make sure I did it all again and confirmed that I had a problem.    I have now re installed the whole site (including a new db) it appears to work

I also read the Menu manager help again and again and understand it a little better.  I am changing the defauly stylesheet for the menus to show as buttons - This I have managed except thatI cannot get it to show the current selected menu - I'm pressing on. 

The only other thing is how do I create a box, same colour as the buttons, to surround the menu to give the effect of a panel?

Considering that I new nothing about cms or html until somel weeks ago I am advancing in leaps and bounds - testiment to CMSMS

Many Thanks
