Field Description
Template Link
Working with Menus
Note: This field applies to content only. It has no effect on other types of menu items
(such as images). Also, this field only affects content that dynamically references a
content block, such as /CMS400Min/therapies.aspx?id=84. If the menu option is a
template that includes content (for example, /CMS400Min/news.aspx), the template
you identify here is ignored.
If you want to apply a template to this menu, enter the template here. If you do, all
content on this menu uses this template when selected from the menu.
If you do not enter a template here, content on this menu uses the template specified in
its Quicklink.
Overriding the Template Link
You can override the menu template for any content item on this menu and, instead,
use the template specified in its Quicklink. To do so, follow these steps.
1. Add all items to the menu. (See ”Adding a Menu Item” on page 453)
2. Go to the View Menus option.
3. Click More Info.
4. Click the menu item you want to change.
5. At the Link field, change the value from Menu Template to Quicklink.
Important! If you created menus prior to upgrading to this version of Ektron
CMS400.NET, those menu items are assigned as Quicklinks. You cannot change
them to template links simply by entering a template link here. Instead, you must go to
each menu item and change the Link field value from QuickLink to Menu Template
(as illustrated above).
