In the side bar/ navigation bar on my website there is a 'Download our Brochure' link, which has an outdated brochure and i need to upload the new one that i have created, the problem is i can find the original file in the database but i can't find that link from the nav bar anywhere.
I have to admit i only started using CMSMS in February, originally when i came to this new job in January i had done very little work on html and coding etc. but im picking it up as i go along, before i started working on the website myself the company i work for had another company manage it and create it, now the problem that i've found is: all of the items that are on the website (backend) have been uploaded straight to the Admin Panel and no copies have been kept on anyones computer, which is a pain as if i wanted to edit anything that is currenlty on there i.e. re-coding a specific item for a specific page i can't because i don't have the base files, so im sort of asking for two things in this topic:
-The above mentioned about the Nav Bar,
&
-Is there anyway for me to copy/ pull existing files from the website so i can put them on my computer.
As i said i am reasonably new to coding and html and whatnot but i can pick things up quite quickly.
Any help on the matter would be brilliant,
Thank you,
Billy
Can't find a link in my Navigation Bar
Re: Can't find a link in my Navigation Bar
Typically files (like a brochure) do not exist in the database but on the filesystem. A good place for such files would be (a subdir of) the uploads directory.
About editing files. Usually you have at least FTP access so you can copy files locally, edit them and copy them back.
That said: most of the editing with CMS Made Simple is done via de Admin (back-end) and saved into the database.
Probably, the mentioned link is created somewhere in a template, global content block (gcb) or in de content page itself.
Uploading a file like a brochure could be done via Content -> File Manager.

Re: Can't find a link in my Navigation Bar
Thank you for your quick reply Velden,
I shall have to have a root around in the sub-directories to see if i can find the template with the link in, i had a quick scan the other day but i couldn't find anything so i'll have a more thorough look into it, also apologies for the delayed response as i'm also working on another website at the same time as this among everything else.
Thank you again for your help.
