Menu Widget States on Sub Pages?

Quick question:
how do I preserve states while on sub pages within a navigation structure?
for example:
site has 4 pages: home, services, portfolio, contact
page services has 4 sub pages: A, B, C, D.
Menu widget links to top level navigation, providing 4 buttons.
when on ../site/services the active state is present
but, then on .../site/services/C the active state is gone.
menu is located in the master page.
i would like it so that when i visit ../site/services and then any subsequent subpages, the menu active state is preserved until i move to another top level page (home, contact, etc).
Your insight is appreciated.

Hello,
If the A,B,C,D pages are child pages (sub pages) to the "services" page that is appearing as the top level page for these four pages, then changing the menu type from "Top Level Pages" to "All Pages" should do the trick and the top level page should stay on the active state while it's sub pages are visited.
Hope this helps.
Cheers

How to set up slider mobile menu widget on master and pages of mobile website in Muse

Adobe Muse Slider Mobile Menu Widget by MuseThemes
I am new to mobile website design and Muse, I love this widget, but I am not sure how to set it up on multiple pages.
Do I put it on the master? Content covers it when it is on master, so I could use some help.
Thanks so much, anyone know of tutorials or can anyone give me a game plan to set up. thanks so very much!

Thanks, my issue was that the content was in front of the navigation menu see screen shot (taken in preview in Muse)

Menu Widget is not working correctly when applied in Master Page?

Hi There,
Is there a reason why menu widget doesn't work correctly when put in the master page? When I do preview it only highlights certain menu and doesn't highlight other ones? In order to fix this I had to take my menu widget off the master page and had to manually apply the menu widget on each page for it to work correctly? Is there a reason why this is happening and are you guys working on fixing this?
Best Regards,
Nick

Hi There,
Just published the northcountydoulas website through business catalyst that
wasn't working correctly...The menu widget is in the master page...

Help with manual mode of Menu Widget in Muse

I'm building a family web page in Muse and I'd like to create a menu of my secondary webpages only. Since the Menu Widget's "menu type" options are Top Level pages, All Pages (neither option will work for me), and Manual- it seems like I should be able to use "Menu Type: Manual" and simply type in the menu items I would like- which I've done. What I can't figure out is how to link those menu items I manually created to the sub pages of my website.
A bit of background on my website structure. My top Level sites are: Welcome, and then 3 separate pages for each family member- and each member page has a few secondary pages (about, photos, contact):
Welcome
Member 1
about
photos
contact
Member 2
about
photos
contact
Member 3
about
photos
contact
My main site navigation- i.e. the menu widget for top level pages- is above my header (Light Gray). Below my header, I would like a horizontal or bar menu for ONLY the sub pages of that member: ie. About Member 1, Member 1's Photos, Contact Member 1 (Dark Gray)
I've created a menu widget in the Manual mode- I just can't seem to figure out how to link each menu option to the correct page. Currently in preview none of these manual menu items work.
Thanks!

Hi Scarff.
When you opt to use manual mode for the Menus, you need to manually link the pages to menu items. To achieve this , you need to have the menu item selected and then using hyperlink option as shown in below screenshots link the corresponding page to it :
I hope this helps.

Horizontal menu moves when opening new pages

I have seven top level pages and have used the horizontal menu widget in my master page. When I view the site in my browser the first four pages load with no problem but when I open the last three pages the menu moves about 20pixles to the right. If I then open say page two from this page the menu then reverts back to the original place as it was in the home page.
Can anyone advise me as to why this is happening. I have also tried this with the last four pages left blank and the problem still exists so I would assume that the page content is not the cause.
Thank you in anticipation
John

One way that it could shift is if the first few pages are longer than the others and the side scroll displays or disappears.

Creating sub pages

How does one do this in iWeb?

Keep main page in the navigation menu and then for your sub pages, you don't put them in the nav menu - open the Inspector and then click on Page and then click on the box that has "don't include page in nav menu" and that is it.
You then create your own links on the sub pages back to the main page and wherever you want by using either shapes or text boxes or whatever.
To make the whole process easier, you could always ditch the iWeb page template nav menu by turning it off and creating your own text based nav menu, which makes creating sub pages easier - you just don't include what you don't want.

Menu Widget help

Using CSS and a body ID per page, how can I tweak the menu
widget to highlight the page I'm on? It's a standard CSS trick, but
I can't get it to work with the widget. You just ad an ID to the
body, and extend the rules to apply only to a particular page. But
no matter what I do, the widget classes overrwite my changes. Is
there some way to do this?
I can't be the first person to want to do this...
Thanks

I'm not all that fond of Suckerfish :-) I like this approach
better, as
it degrades better and the script is a lot more
straightforward:

It's a horizontal list. Esssentially the same type of
construction as
the root. The problem with dropdown menus is that you more
than likely
want the links to be blocks - to appear and behave like
images. If they
are declared as blocks, then their boxes can certainly be
made to
collapse, but it will look funny. If you don't want them to
be blocks,
then they can conform to the least wide link lext, but it
will not look
too pretty.

Glad you got it working.

Keeping main menu widget highlighted when you have all pages below this open. Its only staying highlighted for the main page

I have a main menu widget that says 'Services' then below that a group of pages thats relate to this - I want the word 'Services' to stay highlighted when Im on each page but it only is for the main one.

This is the default behavior as the one which is active will only be highlighted. Menu item is linked with page url , so if the page url is used in browser then active state will highlight that menu item.
Thanks,

Is it possible to add a page in MUSE without it adding corresponding link in Menu Widget?

I'm building a website that has just three main linked pages. However, I want to add additional pages to the site but not have their links show up in the main menu widget. Is this possible?

Hey thanks, mac-heibu,
That was sooo darn easy. I overlooked it.

Add a static page without including it in my menu (widget)

I want to add a static page somewhere in my website but hidden from my top menu (widget). Each time I add a new page it will appears in my top menu. I'll probably add many static pages and I don't want to change the color to transparent when these pages are showing in my top menu.
I'm sure it's really simple to do but unfortunately I can't figure it out
I use Muse CC 2014

Trouble with Menu and sub menu widget

I am a newbie, hence my current question. I have developed a site for the company that I work for, the basic navigation menu widget has been added, however, the owner wanted a sub-menu for only one of the categories/menu tab, but I am having trouble getting/adding a drop down for one of the menus, it is doing an all or nothing when I try to add the submenu, regardless of only editing the one. What am I missing?

Thanks, that is exactly what I was missing. And that did the trick. I know it was probably a dumb question, but I'm still learning my way around the Muse.

Menu Widget Parent & Sub Menu Both Active

Is there a way in a menu widget to have the parent menu active AS WELL as one of the sub menus under that parent menu at the same time?

This is a good example of the parent & sub menu being active at the same time while the user's mouse is hovering over the sub menu.... Thoughts on how this can be achieved?

Menu Widget: Text disappears when previewed in browser ?

Hi All,
I've created a site and have a top level page, with a sub-page.
The site uses the Menu widget in Muse to create a menu with dropdowns for the sub-pages. However, when I preview the site in the browser, the state on the menu for the top-level page 'Normal and 'Active' functions disspears.
It does re-appear on rollover, so the browser knows it's there, but it isn't being displayed.
Any idea why?
And how I can fix this?
(Ive attached screenshots of the page within Muse and then the same page once previewed within the browser)
As always, soloutions and replies most apprieciated!
Browser preview
Browser preview on rollover function
Cheers!
Robbie.

Hi Robsta,
Looking at your 1st posted image, above, I would say (recommend) that the 2nd blue guide, from the top (the header guide), should be moved down and put just below your menu ... do this on the 'master page' ... thats the header guide line ... everything 'below' that line is page content (a menu is not page content) hence content changes throughout your website ... everything 'above' that line is your header information and stays in the same place regardless which page you are on and is shown on ALL pages ...
Now, if that doesn't fix the problem (the blue guide that needs moving, should be moved nevertheless) ... is it possible that some of the 'active' states in your menu have got messed up when you were changing your button colours? ... this would only happen if you were editing the menu with the 'Edit Together', 'unticked' ... I can see that the active state is set to grey already hence just asking ... also, sometimes if the 'header' guide is not where it should be, it does hide things below it as it doesn't know what should be shown or not ...so it's just a thought ... ...
cheers,

Documentation for Menu widget... forget it!

Why do we have no manual or documentation foe Adobe Muse?
Just try and find documentation for the menu widget, first go on line because there is no help for Muse with the software. There is no menu widget listed. Guess "slideshows and widgets", expand more to see all the items - wow, I found it! Click on "Customizing the state of the Horizontal Menu widget". Perfect. Click on it. You go to "Building your first website with Muse" page. Great a tutorial, not documentation - oh well. Look for menu.
It doesn't actually appear there - sorry! Find it yourself. Look its says they already showed it in part 2. Great, I love spending time just looking for help. Click on part 2.
Read the whole page - a tutorial. No documentation for the submenus. Of course, it's a tutorial, not a manual.
Go back to the help page, type Muse menu widget in the search box. Great a video tutorial. Watch it, then it refers to the next video where we will style the video.It's not listed on the page anywhere. You must have to buy the series.
Screw the docs, try it yourself. Look - edit together is on, change the font, they all change but only in that sub menu. Change the menu item size, only that one changes. Oh so edit together only refers to each submenu and not all the changes. Wow, I should read the documentation - oh I forgot, THERE ISN'T ANY.
Am I the only one who wishes we could get a reference doc for this app or is that to much to ask of Adobe? What good is saving time building websites with Muse when you have to be a detective and spend lots of time finding out how to use it. This is SO LAME. We need a manual. Not just "lets build a website tutorials".

With the rapid growth of Muse a manual just wouldn't be practical. There are plenty of resources on the web; Adobe site, Lynda.com, lots of independant tutorials and probably the best resource (besides Lynda.com) is this forum right here. Google is everyone's friend ..... can find anything and faster than in any manual.
But with the way technology software changes at such a high rate manuals would be out of date before they are printed. I doubt we will see manuals for any Adobe software. It's just not Adobe going this way.

Touch screen devices don't respond to hover or mouseOver event triggers because they have no mouse. If you want mobile friendly sub-menus, you'll need to find one that responds to onClick events.
