I am a bit confused by the new category menu section editor. Can I use this to create a menu bar on my website?
Can I create a 2 tier drop down menu system? If so how do I link the sub categories to the main categories and the pages to the sub categories?

Can I create something in Admin so a Manager account can create new single pages which will also appear on the menu system?

Hope this makes sense.

Thanks for a great product.

hello i'am interested in buying your software for my freelance work but my main interest and concern is creating pages which are in categories and adding a menu system that any new page is automatic added to menu of the site the way i see your system that
it prints all pages in on one line but not as a tree
please correct me if i'am wrong, your software is promising, and what about any additions of adding such
a option where you have a menu system that controls your navigation as i saw this a missing point in a lot of cms why not become the better than the others and do that or a least output the code in a list format just like wordpress, i will wait your reply i would but 10 licenses if you are willing to add this option

what will be the cost for some addons to the current software to include a menu manager where any page
be it single ,multi ,or any other be added to the main navigation in a auto format so that the system outputs
a link my vision is that my customer to be able to create a new page and it will add it to the navigation with out coming back to me to make any mods thats my business model if you could call that were once they setup their cms no need to comeback to me , i will be willing to pay an additional fee to include such an option thank you again

Hi moh3,

I don't know how we'd build that for you. It might sound simple but there's actually a lot of complexity to it and features and requirements that would come up building it.

Currently customers can add a single page for each menu item. And you could hard code it to have a multi record section for a certain menu item.

Hope that helps!

Hi Dave,

I have created a menu system as in this post which creates a page with links like categoryList.php Cat1-1. How do I create these pages?

Hi Roj,

You probably just need to change it so it links to your viewer file instead of categoryList.php. Usually you can do this under: Admin > Section Editors > Your Section > Viewer Urls.

Usually for category sections you just need one file.

Hope that helps!

We really appreciate CMSB for what it can do and how easy it is to work with and adapt to our projects.
But we really miss a feature like this one:

a menu manager where any page be it single ,multi ,or any other be added
to the main navigation in a auto format so that the system outputs a link
