FAQ - Menus

Do I have to manage menus and pages separately ?

In SiteNOTE, menus are automatically generated according to the pages that exist, and that the user should see in these menus. Unlike other systems, there is no separated management of menus.

Creating a page makes it appear automatically in the menu of the Edit version. It will automatically appear online when the page will be published (exception: the page is set to be hidden, or the page is set to be offline, or the permissions defined on the page do not allow the user to view/access it)

Is there a limit to the number of levels of menus or the menu entries text ?

No, SiteNOTE does not have such limits.

The only limits are the ones set by the HTTP internet protocol (length of filenames and URLs) which are quite large, and the ones related to the way your design is defined.

Is it possible to have several menus in a site (top and side menus for example) ?

Yes. As it can be seen of the actual SiteNOTE.net website that is of course built using SiteNOTE, it is possible to insert menus at different places in the design. Menus controls have parameters that allow to setup the context of these menus, number of levels to be displayed, etc ...)

Howto: only see childs of the current page?

Add the menu in the template with properties SiteMapDataSource2 and StartingNodeOffset 1
