I could not easily figure out from your web site, how to transfer a menu created to a actual web page.  In my case, I will be using asp.  Can you run me through the steps.  I already figured out how to create menus.  I just want to know how easy it is to bring them into my project.  Also, after I bring them in, do I change them with html or through your interface if I add nodes or what ever?  I really do not want to use Chrome if this is easier to use.

Dear Gary,

The way to add your menu to a page is to “Link” it. This essentially means that you need to add a couple of lines of code (aka “Linking Code”) into the page that will point to the menu file. You can either do this manually, or automatically through AllWebMenus. If you choose to do this manually, AllWebMenus will give you the required code and you will have to copy-paste it into the files you want. If you choose the automatic method, you will just have to select the desired files from a list and AllWebMenus will automatically add the Linking Code for you.

Regarding updating your menus, again we support both methods. The default is keeping the structure within the application. In this case when you want to update your menu, you simply edit it in the application, you Compile it and Upload the new menu file (no need to Link again or upload your pages).

If you want however, you can make a “ULLI” menu, in which case the menu structure is within the page. With this method, each of your pages must have a copy of the menu structure. The pros of this method are that you can update your menu structure without ever touching AllWebMenus again, and that you can have a different menu structure in each page. The cons are that you need to have the structure in all your pages and hence update it in all pages (we strongly recommend keeping it into an include file if it will be the same for all pages) and that you lose some high-end abilities of AllWebMenus such as customized style per item.

I hope the above have been helpful. I understand that the initial learning curve is a bit steep, but this is due to the extreme flexibility and features of AllWebMenus. Once you get the hang of it, you will love the unlimited possibilities this offers you.

Hello,

You are amazing, I just have one bit of advice to ask is it possible to embed more than one scroller on a web page without conflict, and can I embed 3 scrollers in 3 tab pages using tab builder so each scroller would be embedded in every tab page then the tab project embedded on a page.

I tried setting up different directories but had conflicts.

Thanks again

Mohssin

Hello Mohssin,

Sure, you can have as MANY scrollers (or other likno products) on the same page as you wish.

How?

First, make sure that each project has its OWN (custom) name for its COMPILED outcome. For example, this is "project1":

Do, the same for "project2", etc.

Then, you should make sure that you LINK ALL compiled projects to the same page (for example "project1" and "project2" and "project3", you should have 3 "linking codes" on the page, one for each).

Finally, BE CAREFUL with the positioning ID:

You need to have DIFFERENT IDs per project, otherwise you will have a CLASH in positioning (each scroller will be positioned on TOP of other scrollers, or not show at all, etc.).

For example, change the above to:

These are mainly the points to remember.

Initial Email From: Pam
Initial Email Subject: menu update 
Support Case Month: November 2012

My company is bringing website maintenance in house.

The website company that originally did our website used AllWebMenus Pro, which we purchased. We want to add an item to the navigation menu.

I uploaded the .awm files for the index and other pages (there is one for the index page and another for the other pages). I added the menu item to the .awm file for the non-index pages, saved the edit, and uploaded it to our site  through Dreamweaver, but the change did not take effect. I did not compile the menu.

Please advise. Thank you.

Hello Pam,

The .awm is not to be uploaded, it is just the source file of the project. You need to compile the projects and then upload the related compiled files online (at their proper location).

hello Aris and Kostas
I've been using your program for a while and love it. I have a question: If I create a web site for someone else and use Allwebmenus to make the navigation bar - and then transfer the site to that other person would they have to have their own Allwebmenus program installed on their hard drive to make any changes?

Hello Phil,

This is true, if you hand over the project to the other person and her is responsible of updating the menus then he should also have an AllWebMenus license installed on his PC.

Initial Email Subject: likno web modal windows builder 2.1.232
Support Case Month: April 2012

Hi support,

Is it possible to access " likno web modal windows builder 2.1.232" from within the Dreamweaver  interface.

Similar to the way AllWebMenus can be accessed from within Dreamweaver.

If yes, please advise process.

Thank you

Reply From: Likno Customer Support

Der Billy,

I am afraid that this is not possible. However it is not required either. It is very easy to manually add a Modal to your Dreamweaver pages.

All you have to do is to create your modal project and Compile it, then Link selecting the html (or template) file you want (make sure that this is not open in Dreamweaver when you do this). Finally in Dreamweaver you need to add the “trigger code” to the element that you want to trigger the modal (except of course if you set it to open on page load).

Give it a try and let me know if you need more specific help.
