can you explain which setting I need to change to achieve this?

AB,

look in web.config for 

add name="DNNFriendlyUrl"

and set

includePageName="false"

The only way I can find to achieve the above is to make all the pages Hidden and create a list of image links in a text/html module with each link pointing to the page on the site. It get's a little tricky navigating until you have the nav module in place but it works.

I just set the module to 'display on every page' and I have a nav menu where I can use any font I like...

there must be an easier way? I'll have to design a skin around this method so I can have the nav menu along the top..

You could put the HTML for this menu in your skin, once you have the pages created. You could also try putting in the <IMG SRC=..... tags into the page names, so that solpart loads the image for the menu.

We did that on www.stlouischildrens.org for the "health info" link

thanks Chris

For now I have arrived at a solution by making all the pages hidden and creating a HTML menu with anchors on images to the various pages. But I'll try putting the HTML in the skin as you suggest.

I tried putting the tag in the page name but the path was so long there was never enough room as the string length is limited.
Any ideas?

I looked at your site and noticed that on the menu item where you use an image the characters appear when I hover over with the mouse. Am using IE 7.

regards
Angus
