Menu Tags

[lwyau]

Thanks to Ruben I am now working on a site with SMT Pro 4.7, and have a few questions on the new menu tags.

1. #VMENU# in text mode now has the current menu item highlighted, but somehow lose the spacing to the menu item above it.

2. #VMAINS# appears to work exactly the same manner as #VMENU# with sub-menu items along with main menu items. I thought it should inlcude main menu items only, correct?

3. #HSUBS# works as billed, but somehow throw the template format off by pushing the #CONTENT# area below #VMENU# area, as opposed to being two columns side-by-side.

Any suggestions? Thanks!

1) check the custom.css for that template. This file is in /sohoadmin/program/modules/site_templates/pages/templatename .

2) #VMAINS# will only include the main menu.

3)If you are using a template that is not made to support #HSUBS# it can throw your template off. To make it so this does not push down the content try making #HSUBS# in an table next to content.

I think there is a bug in display for #VMAINS# as it does appear to be displaying sub-menu items. Its also not closing off the <table> tag. See code extract below. I am using 4.7 2004_11a:

Hi folks,

Meanwhile it's 2008 and I created a template using VMAINS and it still shows the Subs in the mains menu.

Anyway to fix this?
