CMS Made Simple Forums

Hi again,

I am trying to use smarty cycle:

{section name=name loop=$menu}
{$menu[name]}
{/section}

to change the alternate the background color in a vertical nav bar. All achieve something like http://tatteredfly.com/

I am using the following CSS:

div#menu_vert {
  margin:0;
  padding:0;
  color:#333399;
}

div#menu_vert li {
  list-style:none;
  margin-bottom:2px;
  padding:4px 4px 4px 10px;
}

div#menu_vert li.odd {
  background:#33CC99;
}

div#menu_vert li.even {
  background:#009933;
}

I am using the following tag to insert the nav bar info:

{menu template='simple_navigation.tpl' collapse='1'}

My question is what do I have to do to the smarty cycle code to make this work?  I am not sure which bits of the code to alter.

Many Thanks

You might want to check that menu template simple_navigation.tpl and look for code
change it
Maybe that is the place you are looking for...

Is there a way of modifying the menu manager code and saving under  the same name.

Barry,

I don't think that that works, as you are now working with the .tpl version. That one is the file-version. When you press the import-button on that menu, you can import it to the DB and give it a name. I think it is good to give it another name as well, as you'll know it's changed from the standard. After giving it a name, you have to change the calling in the template, changing to the new name, AND WITHOUT .tpl, as it is a DB-template.
