CMS Made Simple Forums

Hi all,

I'm using CMSms 1.0.2 "Maui" (which is great BTW!) and I'm working on a site which uses horizontal navigation at the top (large coloured squares). The thing about the nave particularly is that each button is styled with a different BG colour through CSS on each buttons' ID. Now, using the menu manager how can I do this:





etc.

I'm using the cssmenu.tpl and have made a copy called horiz which I'm playing with. This menu seems pretty complex, do you think I'd be better off using, say, the 'Minimal' or 'Simple' nav instead. In any event I'd like to find out how I can introduce the addition of one, two, three to the LI's as above. I think I need a count var and an array holding the names one, two etc. Am I on the right track do you think?

Thanks all

Rob

see this thread...

what you need if you want the number of the page is id}"  Note the a in front of it with out it you will get errors...

Hi Mark,

Thanks for your reply and link. I've been working with this all afternoon and eventually found something similar, that if I used the $node->alias that would work too. Then style the li ID's accordingly. I'm really loving the menu manager, so cool!

Thanks again Mark,

Rob

I have one site with 40 diff. ones.

I use the id instead of alias in case the name changes the number satays the same and numbers are easier to type into the CSS, 2 numbers instead of long convoluted names...

EDIT: satays... stays... oh well I'm tired what can I say  been up all nite bottling water....

Good point!! I think I may do the same.
