CMS Made Simple Forums

Hi All.

I would like to have 2 menus. One at the top of the page with sundry links and one menu below the header image that has links to the main pages. Both will be horizontal menu's. How is it best done to operate 2 menus with CMSMS please?

Thanks.
Mike.

[Edit]
Please take a look at my new test template http://www.19sixtyone.co.uk/cms/. As you can see I want the top menu to be different from the horizontal main menu.
The top menu will point to specific pages only and will be text based.
The main menu will point to all pages except those in the top menu.

Is this possible and if so, can anyone help me with this please.

Many thanks.
Mike.

you could create two menus like this

first create all your first menu pages

-page1
-page2
-and so on

then create one new page
-topmenu (this will only be a container for top level menu
and some children for it
--page1
--page2
--and so on

now you want to call menumanager twice. set topmenu to not visible in menu and call your first menu with

{menu number_of_levels='1'}

and your second menu with

{menu start_page="topmenu"}

you might need something more...

hope this helps

Hi TSW.

Thanks for reply.
It sounds extremely hard and probably beyond me, I'm no programmer by far, just good at design.

I'll mull it over (chew the fat) tonight, but I might have to abandon the upper menu.

Many thanks.
Mike.

I found this tip very useful and managed to implement the menus very easily - thanks
