CMS Made Simple Forums

Hi,
I have just installed cmsms and have fallen in love with its simplicity. Now I have decided no matter what barriers comes myway.. generally all cms tools has some or the other. I am gonna stick with CMSMS. Because my comparison, CMSMS ranks better.

Here are the barriers:

MENUS

1. I want to create 3 different menus in the sampe page or site

  For example,
  1. Top level menus
        Home
        Learning Center
        Products and Servicescghe
        Clients and Partnerson
        Customer Support

  2.  Once I click on Learning Center,
        I want to display its child in some different place on the same page
              About the Company
              Why Company?
              How Do I?

  3.  Now once I click "About The Company"
        I want to display
            About Us
            Philosophy
            Careers
            Contact us

Now if you see, what I am asking is 3 types of menu -> 1. Parent 2. Child 3. Child-Child but be placed in different locations.

Currently, I can have only nested menus.

Please see site structure to understand point:  www.usabledesign.in

Can anybody tell me if this layout can be possible with CMSMS easily?


Also, one more thing that all cms tools are missing is:

Multi-Client Capability.

If anybody is willing to take this up as a project, I can help with whatever donations I can offer.
                     

Thanks so much for your help.

Best regards

If I've understood right the default template EllNav Horiz/Vert 1 col or 2 col can do it for you. Perhaps you must play a little bit with MenuManagers parameters ...

Basically, you would do something like this:

{cms_module module='menumanager' number_of_levels='1'} for the top level

{cms_module module='menumanager' number_of_levels='1' start_level='2'} for the 2nd level

{cms_module module='menumanager' start_level='3'} for the 3rd and above (if any) levels.

They can be placed anywhere on the template and use different menu templates, if you'd like.

Hope that helps...
