Create drop-down menus with the
AllWebMenus Drop Down Menus Addin

Server-Side Menus API is an add-in, specifically designed to cover the needs of those who want to generate menus on-the-fly, either database-driven or programmatically generated menus based on your conditions/parameters, on server-side environments such as PHP, JSP, ColdFusion, ASP, ASP.NET, etc.
It is also needed for WordPress Menu and Joomla Menu implementations.

All necessary technical information for using the API is adequately documented at the extracted files of the setup, which you can download from this page.

Download/Installation Instructions

Note: Since February 15 2008, one purchase of AllWebMenus PRO also grants you one API domain license for free (find your API license in your Likno User Area). Therefore, you do not need to do the following steps if you have downloaded AllWebMenus from that date and above.

 

Step 1 - Make sure you have v4.2 or v5 installed

The Server-Side Menu Add-in requires that AllWebMenus PRO v4.2 or above (v5) is also installed in your computer. Version 4.2 was initially released on August 25, 2006.

To find out the version of your current AllWebMenus installation, open the program, click the [Help] menu and then the [About] item. Download the latest AllWebMenus version if you do not have it installed yet.

 

Step 2 - Download the Add-In Setup file

Release Version: 2.0.19 (for AllWebMenus v5)   what's new Help Version: 2.0.19 rev 1 (included in setup) view online (pdf) Download link: Download the Add-in Setup file for v5 Distribution Size: 963 KB (documentation included) Requirements: AllWebMenus PRO v5   Note: If you are using the Actinic platform, please download the related Actinic Add-in setup file for v5.

Release Version: 1.3.1 (for AllWebMenus v4.2) Download link: Download the Add-in ZIP file for v4.2 Distribution Size: 191 KB (documentation included) Requirements: AllWebMenus PRO v4.2   Note: If you are using the Actinic platform, please download the related Actinic Add-in file for v4.2.

 

Step 3 - Run the Setup file

Before that, make sure that you close the AllWebMenus application, if it is open. The contents of the setup file should be extracted inside the folder where your AllWebMenus is installed. If you haven't changed this, it should be a path similar to the following:

C:\Program Files\AllWebMenus5

The end result should be a subfolder like the following:

C:\Program Files\AllWebMenus5\AddIns

Every AllWebMenus add-in is always a subfolder of the AddIns folder.

 

Final Step - Close and re-open your AllWebMenus

Open AllWebMenus (if it was already open please close it first and then install the add-in) and click on the [Add-ins] menu on the menu bar. You should now be able to see the "Server-Side Menus API" item on this menu. You are now ready to use the Add-In!

 

The unlicensed version of the API is fully functional on your localhost environment (not published online) or any numeric IP (eg:192.168.0.23).

Purchasing a domain license (eg: mysite.com) for your Server-Side Menus API entitles you to use the compiled code at your online published website of that domain and 10 of its subdomains (eg: mysite.com, www.mysite.com, subdomain.mysite.com). An unlimited domains Pack is also available.

Click on the button below to go to the order page and purchase licenses for your domains:

Note: The API is different from the generic AllWebMenus application. The generic AllWebMenus application allows you to create non-dynamic menus for unlimited domains (websites). To purchase the generic AllWebMenus application go to the AllWebMenus PRO order page.

Since February 15 2008, one purchase of AllWebMenus PRO also grants you one API domain license for free (find your API license in your Likno User Area).
