CMS Made Simple Forums

hello,

i add a new pages. tick the 'show in menu' and active. but the link to the page not show in menu. why?

Could have multiple reasons.

Could you post:

- from page template: the {menu....} tag used
- from Menu Manager: the template used
- is new page a child-page (does it have a parent)? If so, is menu template prepared to display multiple levels? Did you look at the page source to see if the link really isn't there?

Of course page should be active too (which it is by default).

okay.

this is the code in my template: this is for menu manager:
accessible_simple_navigation.tpl (read only)
simple_navigation2.tpl (read only)
simple_navigation.tpl (read only)
accessible_cssmenu.tpl (read only)
minimal_menu.tpl (read only)
cssmenu.tpl (read only)
cssmenu_ulshadow.tpl (read only)

and the new page is a child. the parent is poperty. its already list under property in pages lists. but it doesn't show in dropdown. and the template i just copy from the old ones, and its suppose to be okay. but the link doesn't show. why?

{menu loadprops=0 template='simple_navigation2.tpl' number_of_levels='1'}

Remove that parameter of change the value to 2 or 3 or whatever suits your needs.

yes

still not show.

in attachment, the dropdown (grey color) should have 5 link, but the new link not show. I've tried your suggestion, its still the same. why?

Hi, can you contact me trough e-mail (geoclaps [at] hotmail.com of PM? I think I can fix it for you but I have to see the code. You can also mail me the files (HTML + (inline of external) CSS.

Kind regards, Ruurd

It looks like you made a custom menu template and put it in the menu manager folder, it is best to make a copy of an existing menu template within menu manager, the new one won't be using the .tpl extension just template='newcustom'...

It also helps to put a link to the site/page in your post...

how to copy the .tpl file?

Layout -> Menu Manager ->
Click the 'Import template to Database' icon behind template you want to 'copy'.

Then you can edit that template from within CMSMS admin.

To edit menu template:

Layout -> Menu Manager ->
Click the 'Import template to Database' icon behind template you want to 'copy'.

And then, the file will appear at where? and after I finish edit, how to put back that file?

It's a database entry, not a file.

You edit from within CMSMS admin. To use it you either make it default template, or read Menu Manager help and lookup how to call a specific template.

If I not edit in CMSMS, is it possible to edit outside CMSMS? I download that navigation.tpl file using filezilla. and edit it. then if I upload it back using filezilla, is it okay? or it will effect the page?

I don't know. Those files are not meant to be overwritten as they come with cmsms install itself.

It's not supported. Use it the way it's meant to be used.
