One Menu for all pages

Post by Markup »

In the years I have been hand coding pages I learned some thigns to help expedite the process. Now I am trying to see if there is a way I can implement one of those things using the editor.

Working on a site, right now, which has over 400 pages on it. All the pages have the same menu. Obviously, if I need to change a mune item it would be horrifically tedious to have to touch each page to make that change.

In the past, I created the menus using PHP and a function call from every page was all that I needed. Make a change to the function and all done, no matter how many places you used it.

So, the question. Does the editor have a way to create page features which can be used in multiple page without have to copy the source for each page (i.e. create something once and then use a reference so the editor can load it at publishing time)? Or is there is a way to inject a PHP function call into a page?

See the following urls. Note WYSIWYG Web Builder is not a HTML Editor but HTML Generator so what this means it that no code actually exists till you publish.

Thank you for the help. I'll be glad when I can get proficient at this application. The support is outstanding and the prduct appears to be well documented. Just have to reduce my level of ignorance.

One small problem. I am using the "Animated Drop Down Menu" and when using that as a Master page, the drop down menu options are clipped at the edge of the menu, rather than overlaying the page, even when I use the Arrange tool to move the menu to the front and everything to the back it still does not work.

Progress: I managed to get the menus to appear behind the content of the WEB page, but there does not appear to be a way to arrange the content to be behind the animated drop down menus.

Any ideas? Or questions?

If you use a master page then all content of that page will be in the background otherwise you would not be able to place any objects on the master page.
Usually, you put a drop down menu on a page header so you can put it in front of the other content.

If you need further assistance then please share DEMO project, so I can see what you have done.

For further details about how to share a project file, please see this FAQ:

I see what you are saying. I dropped the entire menu system into the page header and that solved the problem. Thank you.
