CMS Made Simple Forums

Hello,

My client would  like to have 3 menus on every page:

1. A general menu leading always to the same 5 "pages"

2. A Horizontal CSS DropDown menu with 3 levels namely root/level2/level3 independently of the page we are in

3. a vertical DropDown Menu with all the sibblings of the visited pages, plus all the children, grand children etc... pages of the actually  visited pages upto level 10 (yes it's that big!)

The question is: is there a tutorial for doing something like this ?  (I am merely concerned by the way to include multiple menus than by the various levels.).

other question, is there someone who implemented a dynamic combo box for navigation purposes in CMS MS ?

Thank you already !

Hello Henri,

I think it is ok, you could even have 3000 menus on the same page. What matters is {menu...} tags in the page's template.
You should install CMSms with sample content and copy-paste from the sample templates you like.

And if it is not enough, you should read about menus and the menu manager in the doc (wiki).
Hope it helps. Have fun.

I seem to have the same issue, I need a main nav, a subnav on the side which is static on all pages and a footernav in the footer.

Cant seem to understand the docs either

help please

You need to set up 3 menu templates with Menu Manager, then call each one with {menu template='template name'} and add your variables to the tag (such as start_element='1.2', or however your menu is set up). It's easier to do than it is to explain; have a read through the Menu Manager documentation and play around a little.

Cant I just do something like

i create a page called subnav and disable it in the menu
then i create a menu template that lists all of the menu thingys children ?

For the menu leading to the same 5 pages you can specify the page alias of each page.

Well, I do want the side menu to be editable ... a good solution for the footer nav though... thanks
