Manage-pages:Menu exclude/include

From Site Foundry

What is the menu exclude/include button?

Within site templates a Smarty variable can be included labelled {$menu}. The menu contains a simple main navigation for your site, made up of the items indicated by the menu include/exclude logic.

This menu can take any form, and is set by the template:

/templates/menu.tpl

By default it takes the following form:

 <ul>
  <li class="active"><a href="link_to_page_one">Page title one</a></li>
  <li><a href="link_to_page_two">Page title two</a></li>
 </ul>

Including/excluding an item from the menu

1. To include/exclude a page from the menu, click on the Manage pages menu item on the top of the page.
2. Click on the name of the page that you are looking to edit.
3. To include, click on the menu include button. The button will instantly change to menu exclude - which you can then use to exclude in the future.

Tips and tricks

As a quick reference, each row in manage pages has small red icons indicating its immediate status, as either included in the main menu M, and activity status (active/inactive) A. The greyed out status indicates the negative.
