navigation / {menu}?

Post by Tracy »

Hi again,
Ok I am doing fairly well I think, still far from understanding most of it but the question of the day has to do with my navigation. I don't understand what to do with the {menu} thing. I know that I should replace my actual items that I have for my pages with that tag but when I do, I don't see my navigation there I see the CMSMS page nav. Also, I have 2 navigations 1 with 3 links along the horizontal top right of the pages and then the typical left side vertical type. here is a bit of my code.

The menu tag parses you page structure that is set in Content > Pages, so to get other page names you need to rename all the pages...

To get items in a menu w/o others, numerous ways...

{menu items="page alias1,page alias2"}

set the page structure to have a section header not shown in menu, set when you make it, say it shows as 5 then under it 5.1, 5.2, etc....

{menu start_level="5.1" show_root_sibilings="1"} with this method you can't change it's place in your page structure or nothing will show so...

{menu start_page="page alias" show_root_siblings="1"}
