DHTML Menus Custom ASP Functions Ektron CMS400.NET’s Menu feature lets users create and maintain a dropdown menu system for your Web site. The Menu feature lets you display menu options that link to content blocks, library assets, external hyperlinks and submenus. To learn more about menus, please refer to the “Menu Feature” chapter of the Ektron CMS400.NET User Manual. Additional Documentation in Ektron Knowledge Base This chapter explains how to implement standard menus that ship with Ektron CMS400.NET. Ektron’s Web site also provides Knowledge Base articles that explain how to extend the standard menu features. Displaying a Menu on a Web Page GenerateMenu and DropMenu IMPORTANT! The menu functions described below are only one example of how to implement menus. The scripts reside in the Application API file. You can implement your own menu system using JavaScript. Use the GenerateNextGenMenu and DropNextGenMenu custom functions to display a DHTML menu on a Web page. Place GenerateNextGenMenu once on the page to provide an infrastructure for DropNextGenMenu. Then, place DropNextGenMenu as needed to implement individual menus. Follow these steps to display a menu on a Web template. Ektron CMS400.NET Developer Reference Manual, Version 5.1, Revision 5 454
Custom ASP Functions 1. Place the following code directly after the page’s tag. For example: To display more than one menu, separate each id number with a comma. For example: 2. If the user clicks text to display the menu, place the following code within the template file where the text would appear. For example: If the user clicks a graphic to invoke the menu, use this syntax: For example: Displaying Menus in a Multi-language System If your Web site supports multiple languages, and the user selects a language before viewing the menu, if an edition of the menu is available in that language, it appears. If not, nothing appears. For more information, see the Ektron CMS400.NET Administrator Manual section “Multi-Language Support “> “Working with Multi- Language Content” > “Working with Menus in a Multi-Language System.” Customizing the Menu’s Appearance You can customize a menu’s appearance, such as the font style, color, and size. So, you have the flexibility to coordinate a menu with the design your Web site. To customize a menu in Ektron CMS400.NET, you can change the ek_menu.js file.
