Menus / Navigation systems
There are three different default templates for the Menu Manager that come with CMS Demo. Note that these templates are used with stylesheets, where they get their style through CSS. The classes that each template is using is described in the template files.
- bulletmenu.tpl -- This is basically just an unordered list that can be styled with CSS to get it to look the way you want. Through CSS you can make the bulletmenu either vertical or horizontal.
- ellnav.tpl -- The ellnav template is best used for a split menu, with the top level in one place and the page-specific menu in another. That is, the top level is displayed on every page, while the sub-levels are specific for each page. It's called ellnav beacuse one way of using this is the traditional L-shaped navigation.
- cssmenu.tpl -- This is to be used as a drop-down menu that is using only CSS (although some Javascript is required for Internet Explorer, which must be inserted in the page template). It can be either vertical or horizontal.
