ehudson3 (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 6 Karma: 0   Set up menu for user3, format adv1 2 3 & left mods by ehudson3 2 Months, 1 Week ago I'm stumped! I need to put 2-3 links horizontally to the right and above the main menu on the home page and think that it's done using modules but I'm just not sure and too tired to experiment. Also, I've got a continuous horizontal line across advert1, 2 and 3. What's that all about? Is this a padding issue? If so, how do I fix it. Any help is greatly appreciated...I've looked at the set up guide and somehow "not getting it"...I'm figuring that while I'm asking questions, I'm struggling to get left mods set up to display different content on every page and adding a youtube video to the inset as well as simply adding pages and putting the content in the main body without the datestamp...As you can tell, I'm in dire need of help...

You need to make sure you have a menu module published to position user3. If you do not - create a new menu from the menus option on the admin back end menu - then go to your modules area and open that menu. Set the menu parameters as follows: Set published to yes, show title to no. Set the menu style to legacy - flat list. Set the menu suffix to -nav. Then just create the 3 menu items as required in the menu admin area of your backend. If you are still stuck after this let me know, or mail me your URL with a super admin account and I will sort it out for you!

As far as youtube videos are concerned, usually just pasting the youtube code into the custom module will display the video... Also as far as getting modules to display on different pages - have you assigned the module to different pages (in the menu assignment area of the module settings) The administrator has disabled public write access. | Report to moderator     ehudson3 (User) Fresh Boarder Posts: 6 Karma: 0   Re:Set up menu for user3, format adv1 2 3 & left m by ehudson3 2 Months ago QUOTE: Also as far as getting modules to display on different pages - have you assigned the module to different pages (in the menu assignment area of the module settings) Huh?! Sorry, that does not compute. I've got the top nav figured out okay and I'm sure that this left mods thing works - it's just a mystery to me! Please help. Also, are there some simple directions to add pages without displaying the datestamp. I just want to add pages so I can incorporate them into the menu structure that I've already created. I've been away - but I'm back now and will stay on this until it's done...Thanx as always for your fantastic help!

If you for example have a menu which has links to page one, page two, page three. Then if you open a module in your back end (for example a module you only want to show on page two) - there is a section called menu assignment: Change the Menus parameter checkbox to "Select Menu Item(s) from the List" and then in the "Menu Selection:" parameter you can select which pages the module will show up on. So for example if you select page two only, the module will only show up on page two etc... As for showing / hiding the date stamp - I will ask Skashi to look into that for you! Hope that makes things clearer!

Secondly, on the image fusionlitemods.jpg does the modules in green mean that they are mandatory for each page? (can't they simply be hidden -- and if so, how is that done?)... Lastly, I'm really interested in what Skashi has to say about hiding the datestamp (or even if I'd like to hide the mainbody module and use the inset module instead for the primary content in my pages... I'm hanging in there Lumo and thank you for your diligence in helping me out...Grace and Peace...E. The administrator has disabled public write access. | Report to moderator
