I don't know a lot about the menu system.  Is it possible to have 2 menu's on the same page with different items in them?  Also with deifferent css properties assigned to them?

Thanks, Matt

Hi Matt,

Yes it is possible with most menu skin objects (dnnMenu, HouseMenu, etc...) Yes, you can assign different CSS styles to each menu either via xml or directly into you ascx file.  I would recommend you search these forums for specific answers to your questions once you start the actual menu creation process.  There is a ton of info on SolPart and HouseMenu in these forums and other places - www.dnncreative.com comes to mind.  Hope this helps.

Ok here is a more specific question about menu's.  I have taken a look at housemenu and solpartmenu and either will do fine, but I don't know how to use them in the context I need.

Context:  I would like an additional menu at the top of the page for example at the top of www.symantec.com they have a white menu and a black menu a little bit further down.  I would like to impliment a menu similar to the white menu at the top.  Now when I edit the ascx file there is a dnnMENU control that looks like it is using SolPartMenu functionality.  Correct me if I am wrong I am assuming this based upon the following line, which appears when I try to edit UserControl.

<%@ Control language="vb" AutoEventWireup="false" Explicit="True" Inherits="DotNetNuke.UI.Skins.Controls.SolPartMenu" CodeFile="SolPartMenu.ascx.vb" %>

This is exactly what I need if I could create another menu control at the top of the screen.  I could then make it look the way I need with the .css file.  How would I go about creating another menu control at the top of the screen?  Also I am not incredibly familiar with the menu systems and I do not know how to add picture icons in from of the menu items.  Like in the admin and host menu sections they have icon's.  I would like to use icons on the white menu but don't know how to add them.  How would I do that?

Thanks in advance for any advice, links to other forums, or information on where to look to get answers.

Matt

Hi mathew_davis

First
Of course you can use two menu's on one page...
For instance:

Set in your html file:
Use in your html for instance...

<td>[SOLPARTMENU:1]</td>
<td>[SOLPARTMENU:2]</td>


and in your .xml file:
<Objects>
  <Object>
    <Token>[SOLPARTMENU:1]</Token>
      <Settings>
        <setting>
          <Name></Name>
          <Value></Value>
        </setting>  
      </Settings>
  </Object>
  <Object>
    <Token>[SOLPARTMENU:2]</Token>
      <Settings>
        <setting>
          <Name></Name>
          <Value></Value>
        </setting>  
      </Settings>
  </Object>
</Objects>


Formely you can use [MENU] instead of [SOLPARTMENU]
Upload your skin.

Of course you can set all the properties directly in the .ascx file instead of the HTML = .XLM file. Look at the skinning guide.

Second
Icon's can set in every page.
Go to Admin. Go to pages. Set an icon for a page.
