Adding a dynamic menu to a template

Can somebody tell me what I'm doing wrong please?
I have created a menu, I want to add it to a template (this template already has a dynamic menu which I added to it by the way, in case it's important to the answer).
I have selected the Template and have it ready to edit or do whatever next to it.
I thought the next step was to select "add modules to Template" and then I would get a panel appear on th right hand side with further options to select the menu I want and then go through the insert proceedure.
But nothing happens when I click on "add modules to Template".
I already have one menu on the page, I've done it once already, but for some reason it's not working any more. Or have I just completely forgotten what the correct steps are.
Yes I have researched and googled but I keep getting answers that just tell me how to create a menu or modify a template, or something other than what I need to know.
Cheers for any help.

Okaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay. So now it's working.
So if you experience the same problem, here's what happened and how I resolved the problem.
I closed the browser, started up again and tried adding a menu to a page using "Add modules to a web page" - it worked, but then BC still wouldn't let me have access to the "Add modules to Templates" button a second time when I tried it with the template - just wouldn't work. So, I shut the browser again but this time loaded the template and tried adding the the module to the template using the button, and it worked.
So I'm guessing that this is a bug that needs to be sorted Adobe?

Added an SSI menu to a template - now Dreamwever has locked all my pages

Hello - hope someone can help out with this weird thing.
I have built a site here:
http://www.wildernessexpertise.org.uk/
Its based on a P7 template and is about 30 pages or so in
size with more to
be added. I thought is wise to make a server side menu.
The site was working perfectly on the server and within
Dreamweaver.
Then I went and broke it all it seems. I enabled Contribute
compatibility so
that client could edit. I then opened up one of the pages to
make some
changes (from within DW) and all the content has gone - all I
can see is the
blue background, the header graphic and the menu. Looking at
the code its
all still there but...at the top of the page this has
appeared:

I went into main.dwt and pulled this code

out of the nav div and then it worked again.
Then I put it back in and removed the leading slash:

Now I can preview my template and its editable again but the
menu does not
work.
I am very confused and perplexed.
Thanks for any input on this'

Adding dynamic variables to Email Templates

Apart from the default 35 email parameters available in OIA, how to add other dynamic variables to Email Templates?

You would add that to your form processing/email formatting
script,
apparently built into this page -

New page not being opened in new window when using a dynamic menu

I have read an earlier post about this but I didn't really see a solution I could implement there. I have a dynamic menu, and I want one item on it to open a new frame. Here is the module code from the template.
{module_menu, version="2", menuId="901683", moduleTemplateGroup="Default"}
It is the main template menu from the Tribeca site template.
I have tried inserting (_blank) into the appropriate target frame, and still it opens in the same window. I gathered from the previous post that it was a version issue, but as you can see, the code says "version 2"... or am I mis-reading that?
I couldn't find where to make changes. The previous post suggested I look for the CSS on the home template, but I am not using a home template.
Any thoughts?
Chuck

Thanks Liam, it worked. I need a clarification if you can... I don't need all the items in the menu to open in a new window, so under the menu itself, under the individual items, I would set the target frame to "_self" for the items I need to remain in the same window? Or is it an all or none thing?
I really have appreciated the help you've given me.

i created dynamic menus for my application.wen i ran my page i got this error:
SEVERE: Managedbean menuItem_General could not be created Can't get value from value binding expression:

i. resource adapter is configured in faces-config.
ii.menu model and menuTreeModel are configured with thier default adapaters in faces-config.
iii.resource bundle specified in jsp page.
can sum1 plz refer
1.wat is the reason of this error? wat are the things dat shud hold true in order to run these dynamic menu? which files shud
b specified where?
2. in wat order are the managedbeans created ?
is it in order they apprear in faces-config file or in order they are used in the jsp page?
3: is it possible that u click on a menuTab item and it displays its particular menubar's items while staying on the same page? or
u click on a menubar item and it displays its particular dropdowns while staying on the same page?
is it posible wid ADF or javascript shud b used?

Hi,
looking at code it seems that you are adding textview and inputfield. please check in debugging if the correct context node/attribute is being created and you are providing its reference while adding UI elements.
Thanks,

Styling a dynamic menu using CSS

Hi everyone, hope someone can help.
I have spent a few hours starting to style a new site and i am struggling with the dynamic menu
http://www.innovas.co.uk/ourclients.htm
what i would like it to do is have a gap in between each of the main menu items so that its not one consistent block of grey background colour. I have tried isolating the style for tr. and adding a border-padding of 1px with a color white, but this adds the border to all table rows. i just need a way of styling a 1px white border into the menu item layout.
some help would be hugely appreciated
thanks in advance

Hello!
The best way to approach this would be to use Dynamic Menu v2. It will save you a lot of hassle.
There's a thorough explanation covered in this post: http://forums.adobe.com/docs/DOC-1903.
Let me know how it goes.

Need to find a work around for this Dynamic menu issue.

Hi all, i've search everywhere for an answer to this, i'll try again here.
So, If i make a site with Muse, and use the menu widget,
It generates the cool menu automatically everything is fine.
BUT, what happens if my client creates a new page from his BC backend using a template i made for that purpose while making the site in Muse (a page with the "{tag_pagecontent}" Tag)
can it show in the menu?.
i desperatly need help with this one.
i.

Unless i insert at the right place in muse (like in a master page) the menu module tag generated by BC right?
and for some obscure reason, i'm having a F*$*ing hard time to style
this will need to be possible in Muse future, i know muse grid came with a BC blog Module, hopefully they will come up with a BC dynamic menu module.
(sigh) ... i'm so discouraged

Storing a dynamic menu structure

Hello all,
I am creating (or at least hoping to create) a completely dynamic web site using oracle9i as the backend. Right now I am stumped on how to store a dynamic menu hierarchy. I want to be able to assign different menu options to different user types, and also be able to add more levels to the menu later on.
Example:
Outer Most Menu (Level 0) Item 1
Level 1 Sub-Menu Item 1
Level 1 Sub-Menu Item 2
Level 2 Sub-Menu Item 1
Level 1 Sub-Menu Item 3
Level 2 Sub-Menu Item 1
Level 2 Sub-Menu Item 2
Level 2 Sub-Menu Item 3
Level 1 Sub-Menu Item 4
Outer Most Menu (Level 0) Item 2
Level 1 Sub-Menu Item 1
Level 2 Sub-Menu Item 1
Level 1 Sub-Menu Item 2
Level 1 Sub-Menu Item 3
Level 1 Sub-Menu Item 4
Level 2 Sub-Menu Item 1
Level 2 Sub-Menu Item 2
Level 2 Sub-Menu Item 3
I would like to be able to store the above structure in the database so that I could add more menu items and levels. I am trying to design the structure so that an XML document can be created from a query whose hierarchical structure will resemble the menus. I can create everything, except adding more levels, I want by defining each level as a type.
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Thomas Usrey

Help changing color of menu in Adora template

I'm a new BC user and have been scouring the CSS stylesheet for the Adora template, but I can't figure out where the color is being set for the main menu. I was able to change the navigation.png image to be solid instead of transparent and that covers the maroon/red color, but you can still see it peaking around the edges in some browsers, or full-on during page refresh, before the png image loads. Additionally, I added a sub-menu and the maroon/red color is back. The site is www.digitalglobesystems.com
Can anyone point me to the location of where the color is being set in the stylesheet? I've done a lot of trial and error with no results. Another thread said the color was set in the spry assets, but I don't see that in my File Browser.

Hello
I have changed the background color in the css stylesheet, lines 1558 and 1562
#navigation {
background-color: #Your color !important;
.sf-navbar li ul, .sf-navbar ul ul li {
background-color: #Your color !important;
Hope it helps and it is not too late

Help with alignment of dynamic menu

Hi.
I can't for the life of me get the main meny (a bc dynamic menu) to align center on this site http://www.eaglerockfarm.com.au/home.htm. At the moment I've fudged it with a 350px left margin, but that only looks ok on smaller screens, larger ones, It's to the left and smaller, i.e an ipad, it's to the right.
I have a div id in the css "nav2" with text-align:center, but when I inspect the element (q) in Firefox, it crosses out that line. I also tried putting in the text-align:center inline, but nothing seems to work...I am not a developer, but have an average understanding of css and html...
Can anyone assist please?
Thanks.

Hello justasking506,
To bring your main menu to center just change the div#nav2 to:
div#nav2 {
    font-size: 14px;    height: 20px;
    margin: 0 auto;
    padding-bottom: 10px;
    padding-top: 10px;
    width: 633px;
Here you can see that I've changed the margin to "0 auto", that will put auto margin on the left and right of the div. Now the width needed to be a little bigger to center the div.
I would also suggest not using the default dynamic menu type. This is using tables to output your navigation. Instead I would suggest using the CSS(HTML Only) menu type, this will use an unordered list and will allow you to use your own css to position the navigation. I go over how the dynamic menus work in this video:

Preventing help files being added to start menu after installing an application in windows 8.1 enterprise

Hi Guys
when we install an Application in windows 8 family, we see that in addition of Application executable file, user manuals (.chm) and PDF & other files related to that App are added to start menu (when we click down Arrow which shows all programs) and
so the start menu gets quit messy.
is there any settings to make only applications executable file be added to start menu & prevent other types of files related to that App being added here?
thanks in advanced

Hi John,
This issue is related to the programs package we installed.
• An installation package contains all of the information that the Windows Installer requires to install or uninstall an application or product and to run the setup user interface.
• The developer can specify installation context, and based on these properties, Windows Installer automatically redirects the values of folder properties and registrations to locations.
• The shortcut is added to the profile by these context
We could right click these file and could find out they are the shortcut mentioned above.
For more information about Windows Installer, please refer to the following article.

Dynamic menu in tree structure in JSP

Hi,
1) I need to display a dynamic menu in JSP. The menu depends on the values received from database. I need to show the items in the structure of tree (like parents, child relation). The tree can have multiple levels (the parent can have children & these children too can have children). This tree structure would be on left side of the screen.
I would like to use some custom tags rather than javascript. Can somebody post the custom tags or some samples?
2) Also, once the user selects different items from menu, different action classes should be called. And accordingly, the right side of the screen will show different data.
So, there should be any way to set different action classes for the menu items. Please post any samples or helpful links.

Can you create a javascript dynamic menu based on security data in oracleDB

I am looking for a dynamic javascript menu that is generated based on the user role... basically i get the user role from ldap and then I have a Security table in oracle data base that has the permission info and i want to generate my dynamic menu based on the data in the database table.... the table has the following columns
private String userId;
private String security_level; // page level , field level
private String permission; //CRUD
private String permissionType; //ALLOW, DENY

Hello Suzie,
It is possible but you have "many" ways to do it, since what will happen is the javascript will be generated by an application.
Are you developing a J2EE application? with or without JSF?
The best way will be to Google to find a good Javascript menu library, and adapt the generation of it based on the content of your database.
