HELP WANTED WITH MENUS - WILLING TO PAY !!!!

[daithi]

OK I am in a tizz with this issue, Have tried countless times using the info from various postings on the forum and still cant get it right. Ideally looking for someone who might be availble on skype chat or phone to talk me through this issue I am having, paying for your time of course !

Issue is, I have a complex site with a lot of content, main issues lies with the menus, my main horz menu is:

HOME   PEOPLE  SERVICES etc

Under PEOPLE there is 10 sublinks that should appear on a menu to the left when PEOPLE is selected. I have the correct tag {menu template="cssmenu.tpl" start_page="People" start_level="2"} for the second level of the in the correct area, but for some reason it wont work for me

I have this style sheet attached to a template I created called PEOPLE

Thanks to anyone who can help

Hi mate,

I'll help if I can.

The problem looks like it might be in your tag, try taking out 'start_page="people" because if the pages in the people section are children of  people.html (or whatever it's called), they will be displayed by using 'start_level="2"' automatically.

Also check the pages in the people section are children of 'people'.

To explain, in the admin panel, Content > Pages, your content should be ordered as so:

1 Home
2 People
  2.1 People Child 1
      2.1.1 People Child 1 Child 1
  2.2 People Child 2
3 Services

Having a menu tag with start_level="2" would therefore build a menu from the items in bold.

Also check your pages are set to appear in the menu (checkbox in the options menu) and have menu text (text box in the main tab).

If you still have problems I have skype and am around this weekend.
