Single Menu Page with Bv and PHP - Page 5

navaldesign · #**401** 08-29-2008, 04:45 PM

Probably because you have used the same style name in both the main page AND the submenu page. This causes conflicts. Check it.

I cannot explain why the menu behaves like that
but as you now only have 2 menu pages, play with the colours/background..
or exchange the menu with a text menu of your own..............(better for SEO's) imo.

edit: sorry george, typing as you were posting...............

I think you have to put ...sub-menu();?>

When i posted this thread, i was (wrongly) supposing that some users would benefit from the function, in example to pass over color schemes (having, with only one menu, multiple looks).
However, i now understand that NO ONE has ever done this, so i need to clarify:

If you don't want to have dynamic content, the code could be simply:

<?
include 'pagename.html';
?>

and nothing more!

Also, no need for ANY code in the menu page, which can be plain html (so no need to be php).

This makes the entire thing much simpler.

edit: have sent you an email

Ok, this is all very new to me...
so does this mean the menu page does not need to have any code in it and it does not need to be saved as a php?

And then in the html boxes I create on each page where the menu goes I only need to insert:
<?
include 'pagename.html';
?>

That's it? Or am I missing something? It seems so simple so I had to ask. Sorry if it seems so elementary ... I learn something new all the time!

TIA

Hello Naval

I am trying to create a 2nd menu (which I've called menu2), which is basically those images below the mumbo jumbo.

I have followed your instructions (at least I think I have?) but can't fathom why that mumbo jumbo is appearing.

Please can you help me with this one?

This is what I've done

Menu2 Page

<? function menu2() { ?>

HTML Code for other pages and this one http://www.kindoffice.co.uk/product_catagories.php

<?php
include ("menu2.php");
menu2();
?>

Thanks

Darren

Hi, did you add the

<?
}
?>

in the "End of page tab" on the menu2.php page???

DCOFFICESERVICES · #**413** 09-01-2008, 11:10 PM

Hi David

No I didn't fix it. I reverted back to the page I already had. I will look at it again when I've got more time.

Use your BV FTP program or your file manager in your Cpanel and delete the .html one.
