Unified single menu system

Post by TimG »

EBMM is not set up to easily generate a single menu system that is used by all pages of a website. The underlying problem is that EBMM will not accept a full path specification for the "subdirectory" in which the files are stored.

It is possible the get around the problem by doing as follows:
a) build the desired menu, then use "Insert into Web page" and the "Just generate HTML code & necessary files" option
b) then use the "I will put the file into a *subdirectory* relative to ..." option, and set the subdirectory to say ".\menu"
c) you will find that EBMM alters ".\menu" to "__menu", hence you need to edit the generated HTML code, and CSS and js files to replace all occurances of "__menu/" by "/menu/"

Karl - it would be nice if a future version allowed the specification of either a full or relative path. I also have a PDF (with screen shots) that documents this procedure more fully.
