Re: MyMenu guidance

Steps:

Update the template
Select 'Templates' in the Control Panel Home
Select the theme - zetagenesis
Drill down to globalnav.html in the xotpl folder

Insert <{$xoops_menu_navbar}>

From

  • Main navigation



To:

  • Main navigation

<{$xoops_menu_navbar}>


Note: It does not seem happy with that
at the end ?
Note: What does the 'Main navigation" link do, besides add a Blue line at the top of the menu?


Then go to the My Menus module.

In Menus Manager, add a menu called 'Main Menu' (some arbitrary name)

In Menu Manager, add three trial links. Say
Note: Make sure you are on the correct menu ! Use the drop down menu to
select the menu then press GO to Menu to get the correct menu up.

Add three links to test it out.

Blog modules/blog
Profile modules/profile


Then go to Blocks Administration

Select the Menu block.
Don't know if it matters where it is placed. Center block for now
Visible = Yes
Visible in All Pages
Title = Main Menu

Options -
Select menu = Main Menu
Select skin = multiblack
Use skin from theme = No
Display Method = Assign to template
Unique ID = navbar

I suppose we can use whatever Unique ID we want, as long as we also change the smarty tag to match.
<{$xoops_menu_navbar}>

Voila... A global menu - although a rather simple one.

Have to make sure 'Check Templates for Modifications' is set to YES in the General Settings or the updates do not show !

Image is from the root. So lets try themes/zetagenesis/icons/footer/home.png for a small house to be added to HOME.

or images/GlobalNav/home.png for a bigger house. WAY TO BIG !

YES, spelling is important. Mistype the address and you get nothing.

And you have to make sure you make each menu item VISIBLE to all people.

Would you mind to write a tutorial, similar to those here?

That would be very helpful!
