Hi all
I'm here to announce that Richard Powell has volunteered to, and written an excellent introductory tutorial for managing menus with CMS made simple.
His well written, and well explained tutorial explains how he has accomplished generating a single page (or page template) that has three menus within CMS made simple.
I encourage you to read it:

This addresses the exact problem I'm facing. I have the level 1 navigation menu at the top yet it's showing in a vertical order instead of across the top horizontally. How do I go about fixing that?

Indeed a good article.....
Personally I always work with sectionheaders/pages that I dont show in the menu,
like
sb-menu/ft-menu, for sidebar and footer-menu.
In the template I use,
Code: Select all
{menu template='extra-menu' start_page='sb-menu' show_all='1'}
where the sidebarmenu should come, to show the pages under that menu-entry. This way all is shown dynamically. Otherwise I would have to edit the template everytime a page is created that should be in the excludeprefix parameter.
