Help,

It has worked for years and the menu disappeared from the home page.

Advice please.

Hello,

It seems that you moved your menu files (or HTML files) around and this confused the Linking Code (see the “src” parameter).

<!-- DO NOT MOVE! The following AllWebMenus linking code section must always 
be placed right AFTER the BODY tag-->

<!-- ******** BEGIN ALLWEBMENUS CODE FOR horzmenu ******** -->

<script type="text/javascript">
     var MenuLinkedBy="AllWebMenus [4]",awmMenuName="horzmenu",awmBN="904";
</script>
<script charset="UTF-8" src="{MENU.JS PATH}" type="text/javascript">
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">awmBuildMenu();</script>

<!-- ******** END ALLWEBMENUS CODE FOR horzmenu ******** -->

Please make sure that your menu files are properly located locally and that your Root Folder setting is correct:

If asked to “update the links”, do *not* do this as it will probably mess things up.

Then re-Compile and re-Link your menu to your pages and upload them again.

The Linking Code should now look more like this:

<!-- DO NOT MOVE! The following AllWebMenus linking code section must always 
be placed right AFTER the BODY tag-->

<!-- ******** BEGIN ALLWEBMENUS CODE FOR horzmenu ******** -->

<script type="text/javascript">
     var MenuLinkedBy="AllWebMenus [4]",awmMenuName="horzmenu",awmBN="904";
</script>
<script charset="UTF-8" src="/horzmenu.js" type="text/javascript">
</script>
<script type="text/javascript">awmBuildMenu();</script>

<!-- ******** END ALLWEBMENUS CODE FOR horzmenu ******** -->

Note that once you fix this, then every time you change something in the menu you only need to Compile and upload the menu files (“horzmenu.js” and “awmdata” folder). You do *not* need to Link and upload your pages.

HI Kostas,

I purchased the new version, but I am having a problem with the linking.

Is the linking any different when using DIV tags in which I gave an ID to?

Here's what I did...

I got a new menu, made all changes, told it where to store the root folder, compiled the menu, took the ID form the menu position, awmAnchor-menu and placed it in a DIV tag that I gave an ID name of nav_bar <div id="nav_bar" awmAnchor-menu></div>

The menu showed up on my page, but as soon as I added the awmAnchor-menu to my page it never came back.

Here is a link to my test site:

{URL REMOVED}

Also, I attached the menu that I saved. It's just a rough copy.

I think I did everything correctly, the only thing that sticks out is that the help files show an ID given to the awmAnchor-menu, <div id="awmAnchor-menu"> &nbsp; </div>

and I gave the DIV that I am placing the menu in and ID name of nav_bar

Should I name the DIV awmAnchor-menu, and if so where do you place the awmAnchor-menu in the DIV?

Please let me know,

Thanks Again!

Robert

Dear Robert,

The problem is indeed the ID of the DIV where you want to put the menu.

You need to do one of the following two things:

1) Leave the AllWebMenus Positioning as it is, and change the DIV in your page from:

  <div id="nav_bar" awmAnchor-menu></div>

To:

  <div id="awmAnchor-menu"></div>

OR

2) Leave the DIV in your page with its current ID (but cleanup the “awmAnchor” part):

  <div id="nav_bar" ></div>

and change the AllWebMenus Positioning to use this DIV instead:

Best Regards,

Kostas

Hi Kostas,

Thank You! Works Perfect!

I read about that but then I recall it recommended to keep it the same.

Anyway, it works!

Thanks Again!

I use Visual Studio to create Web Applications (.aspx) with a site.master page.  How do I add my new menu to the site.master?

Great program...I have had it for a while, just never have had an occasion to use it.

Thanks

After you compile your menu, click on the “Link menu to web pages” button:

There you have two options:

1) find the file and link to it automatically, or

2) copy-paste the Linking Code manually into your file

Hello,
I saw your offer in Giveaway of the day.  Is there a way to use one of your products to create a menu that I can make one edit and all web pages will be updated to the change?  So I don't have to edit the menu file on all 15 pages.
Thanks
Ron

Reply From: Likno Customer Support

Dear Ron,

Yes. If you use AllWebMenus, every time you make a change you will need to:

1) open your menu project in AllWebMenus and make your changes

2) hit the “Compile” button

3) upload the compiled files online

This will automatically update all the linked pages.

(Note that you need to Link to your pages once, only the first time that you add the menu.)

Initial Email Subject: Likno Web Modal with links
Support Case Month: February 2013

Hi what I'm trying to do is setup Likno Web Modal with links that come in to the window from external files (as I did . These links would replace the Web Modal with another Web Modal like this if you click on one of the images below and use either

Click To View Next Project Specs
or
Click To View Previous Project Specs

I did set up the project file so that each link would have its own

Modal_Window_1
Modal_Window_2
Modal_Window_3
Modal_Window_4
etc...

but the javascript was bigger (194kb) than if I just include the html in each single Modal_Window (127kb), this does not make sense why the empty ones are bigger.
Basically I'm asking if there is a way to replace the current Modal_Window with another Modal_Window with an external file with links in that file without using The Navigation Bar and Multi-Sheet.

Any help would be great

Thanks,
Tracey

Hello,

I believe the best way to go around this is to have each project spec in a separate HTML page that will be loaded with Ajax. Then you can use the Modal Window API to call each page into the same Modal Window. This way your JS project will be around 11-12kb!

I am attaching an example project for you. Let me know if you need anything else.
