Single Menu Page with Bv and PHP

Re: Single Menu Page with Bv and PHP

No, you don't put any navigation bar in the pages. This method is used exactly to avoid adding the menu bar in every single page!

You just add the html box, as described in the tutorial, and it will "call" in the page the menubar as you have published it.

You dont need to clone a page, just create it once and then include it in all your other pages....................

Re: Single Menu Page with Bv and PHP

Hello. Firstly, thanks to Navaldesign for all you work on menus. This thread excited me when I found it, because it seemed to solve the issue of repeating everthing for every webpage with the linking back to a single menu or header etc. But I am now stuck with how you edit the menu after it has been taken away and how do I use it for multiple pages.....?

Can someone give me some pointers here please?

I do apologize in advance if this has been covered already.

TIA.

The very first post explains the complete procedure.
You will edit the menu page the same as any other page and then publish it.

Re: Single Menu Page with Bv and PHP

Thanks for your help guys. Its not as easy and straight forward as I had hoped. So, I started looking for a website builder and I found a programme called WYSIWYG Website Builder 5. Is almost identical to BV in every aspect and it does the page linking thing with a few clicks and it shows the pages and their links in a tree layout......it so simple!!

What I don't get is, why is BV so far behind in this area when this product is out there and looking identical........?

Don't know if BV is all that far behind, but it is free, a big advantage. Hopefully the people charged with updating BV can address areas that need improvement in a timely manner. In the year I've been using it, it has been significantly improved, so the track record is good.

Having had more of a chance to play with WWB5, there is a big difference. WWB5 has a "master page" function which facilitates a live link to that page from all others. Edit the master and all other update. This is a big difference and BV achilles heal. The price for WWB5 is very reasonable I fell.

Re: Single Menu Page with Bv and PHP

I've gone through this whole thread a few times and am still a bit confused. I tried the CSS menu generator suggested on page 1, but I don't understand how I would edit the menu generated if I wanted to in the future.

What I have done so far is I made a vertical list of page names using a regular BV text box, then added links to each one using the link button in BV. I chose the colors for the text and background. I want to use that as my menu.php to be called into the html box that is sitting on each page. Then, in the future, if I want to edit it, I'll just edit the text in the text box. Will there be any problems with doing that? Will it accomplish everything that using a CSS menu will?
