I am really not sure where to begin. But I am finding this system very difficult to navigate through.

First I will tell you that I was hired to design a site and asked to use this system which was installed by the client's host - which is a university managing their own web server.

I have designed, and installed quite a few PHP based sites. This is my first ASP / ASPX site.

All I want to change right now is the navigation bar. I do not want a title on it. I find no where to edit that module. All the other modules have a button for editting and a popdown menu. I know I can leave that field blank in the module settings - but for what ever reason there is no button to edit the site navigation (or TreeNavigation) .

Have I messed something up? Any suggestions on how to get back that functionality?

Thanks so much.

The titles you see in the navigation are generated from the Page Settings for each page found on the site.  If you change the Page Name field in the Page Settings for a page, that will be reflected in the menus.

Just to add some background, the menu (you called navigation bar) is derived from the page structure you can edit in Admin :: pages. To exclude a page from the bar, there is a checkbox in page settings as well as to insert a disabled page, acting as a non-clickable menu item.

Look and feel of the menu is defined in the page skin, you can read more about skinning from the guides on the Documentation page in resources menu above or the videos at www.dnncreative.com.

Thanks

I may not have been as clear as I could be with my question. My vertical menu right now says:

Site Navigation  
HOME
About Us
Contact Us
Director
Background
Goals
Colleges
Fact Sheets
 
I can not figure out how to get rid of the words "Site Navigation." I can not find any place that will allow me to be rid of it. It is not a page. It is a default title for the menu module which I can not adjust other than to add or delete a page.

I know I am being thick-headed. I am probably looking directly at it and not seeing it... Any other suggestions?

Thanks so much!

Set the HeaderText attribute to be empty.  For instance, in your skin's XML document (if you have one), it would look like this:

<Objects>
 <Object>
  <Token>[TREEVIEWMENU]</Token>
  <Settings>
   <Setting>
    <Name>HeaderText</Name>
    <Value></Value>
   </Setting>
  </Settings>
 </Object>
</Objects>

If you are doing this as a UserControl, do it like this:

<dnn:TREEVIEW id="dnnTreeView" runat="server"
     bodyCssClass="Normal"
     CssClass="TreeViewMenu"
     headerCssClass="TreeViewMenu_Header"
     headerTextCssClass="Head"
     headerText=""
     level="root"
     nowrap="true"
     treeIndentWidth="5"/>
