Revised category menu system Can't Post

Is there any update on the revised menu system for CMSB I gather that there has been a lot of work in launching a new user-friendly system?

Hi chassa2556,

Were you referring to the menu within CMS Builder's interface, or the "Category Menu" section type that was added to CMS Builder recently?

Let us know what you were looking to set up or would like changed. Smile

Hi Jake

Really I'm looking for a good effective solution so will take your advice but perhaps you could start with the Category Menu section included in with the CMSB package. I've been looking at your excellent walkthrough for new users but noticed there was nothing relating to this.

Hi chassa2556,

Thanks for getting back to me!

The "Category Menu" section type is an advanced beta feature at the moment and it still may undergo some changes, so there is only a brief mention of it in the documentation until it gets finalized.

We can use this to create your menu, but I'll need a few more details on what style of menu you wanted to create, and if you wanted it to 'link up' with any other sections on your site and so on. Did you need any submenus for this, or did you just need to create one level of menus? If you could provide me with as many details as you can about how you'd like the menu to work, that would be a big help. Smile

Hi Jake

Basically I would be looking for a menu with one level of sub menus. So there would be Home Services News Sales and Contact. But under Services would be 'what we do', 'our philosophy' and maybe one more. The same in News we would want 'in the press'.

Would probably make the first level different multi page sections and then a child to that main section would be the sub level.

Hope this helps

I'm hoping to add support for category menus and pages in the next one or two releases. Hopefully soon! Jake might be able to help you with something in the meantime though.

Hi Jake

Could you give me a walkthrough on how to do this? 

Either in this forum or as an addition to your indepth section of your tutorials.

I'm working on some new functions for this right now, so if we hold off for a day or two we should have something new.

Stay tuned.
