FAQ
The Current Web Pages section is one of the more complex sections you will
have to deal with when creating your web site. The reason for this is mainly
due to the fact that this is where all of your web page creation is
done. It is also the place where you can organize your web pages on your
menu. There are 2 main functions to the Current Web Pages section. They are
web page creation and menu item organization.
-
Web Page Creation
Web page creation is simply the web page content. The actual web page. You can do many things with your web pages. You can create a web page from scratch or you can use one of our pre built modules, such as Staff Directory or Calendar. You can even link your web page to an external web site. There are also many other options to choose from. For additional information please see Adding a new web page/Menu Item. -
Menu Item Organization
You already know what a web page is, but what exactly is a menu item? A menu item is simply the web page listed on your menu. The following screen shot should clear this up.
As a whole, this is a menu. Menu items are the items listed here, which are your web pages. With this example, Home, Calendar, FAQ, Guest Book, Links, News, PDF Reports, Staff, Help, and Login are all menu items. The reason this is important is because you have the ability to arrange these in the order you see fit. You also have the ability to create sub menus.
What is a sub menu? Sub Menus are simply menu items within menu items. This is best shown with an example.
Before "First Level Menu" Click 
After "First Level Menu" Click 
This example needs a little explanation but this is all you need to see to understand sub menus. I created a menu item, or web page, and I named it "First Level Menu". I created 3 other menu items, or web pages, and named all three "Second Level Menu". The difference with the "Second Level Menu" items are that I created them as sub menus of "First Level Menu." Now, when a visitor visits the site, they will see what's shown in the first image above. You do not see any of the 3 "Second Level Menu" items. However, when they click on the menu item "First Level Menu", the menu will expand and they will now see the 3 "Second Level Menu" as shown in the second image. If this sounds confusing and you want a live, working example, click HERE. Once you get to that page, click on the menu item "State Links (A-D)". You will notice that several other sub menus will appear.
You need to remember 2 terms from the above example. They will be used throughout the document and other help pages. The terms are "First Level Menu" and "Second Level Menu". What these terms mean is represented in the above example images. First Level Menu simply refers to "First Level" menu item and Second Level Menu refers to the "Second Level" menu item(s).
