    Menu Bar vs. Navigation Bar

    Can someone tell me the main difference between menu bar and navigation bar in BV? I had been using the navigation bars to build the links to other pages in my site. However, today I tried using the menu bar option instead, built a few links to try, published the page, but the menu bars do not show up. I assume that the menu bars allow you the option of creating sub-menus, but haven't figured out how to do that either. It appears that the "menu bar" tutorial in BV actually covers navigation bars (I think since there are now both options, the tutorials have not yet been changed to create one for each option). As always, help is appreciated.

    You are correct, menu bars allow sub-menus, but a navigation bar does not.

    Use the insert split option in order to create your sub-menus. Play around with it, its pretty simple.

    Hope this helped.

      Menu Bars

      Thanks Steven. I have been playing around with it, but still don't see them when my page is published. Any idea why? Also, do you know of a thread or tutorial on this option?

        Be sure your looking at your website, not the preview page.

          Right... I did not see them in preview, so I published and still don't see them.

            Mmm, are you using the newest version of BlueVoda?

            If so, open a support ticket.

                I may not have saved first, only previewed and published. I'll try again... thanks. For some reason I never got a response from my question regarding the "Tell a Friend" button. Can anyone give me some assistance on that?

                  Patti,

                  you need to save 1st so Bv can make the files need to make the menu system work.

                  If your looking for tell a friend button look here, if it the type of thing you want I will help your through it ( try it place your own email in friend box)



                  If you want just a stright button to open a email then add the following in html box and plce where your want it

                      Tell a Friend

                      Yes, that's the same button I've put on my site... but don't know how to program it. Your help would be appreciated.

                        Re: Menu Bar vs. Navigation Bar

                        No, it will NOT work. You see the menubar uses also auxiliary Javascript files that are automatically uploaded on the server when the site is published normaly on a VH server. When you copy / paste the code, these files (which are generated by BV when you publish) are not created nor uploaded on the server.
