Create Site Navigation Menu

[L2Insomnia]

Hello,

Just setup VB cms/forums. Just curious as to how I might create a site navigation menu on the left hand side of the front page? I tried making a widget and dragging dropping it but it does not appear. Here is a example of what i want in the menu.

Sever Features
Become VIP
Forums
How To Play
About Us
Rules

How can i create a menu like that and than link those links to the corresponding page with the content?
Probably very easy but I have been trying to figure it out for hours hehe. I have read all the cms documents I could find but still don't quite get it.

Tried dragging/dropping? No sure what you mean.

You may create an html widget and it should work fine - really basic here:
<a href="xxxx.php" > Server Features</a><br />
<a href="yyyy.php" > Become VIP</a><br />
<a href="zzzz.php" > Forums</a><br />
using a list tag might be nicer. It depends on how proficient you are with html and css.

Hi Lynne,

Yes i tried dragging and dropping the navigation widget I made but it does not showup. I'll try the html widget like you posted. Thank You :)

Also where do i create the pages those links will lead to? Used to using Fusion and vb cms is hard to get my head around right now hehe

I do all my php in BBEdit (a Mac application). You can use whatever you want as long as it does it in plain text.

After you create a widget, you need to go to admincp > vBulletin CMS > Layout Manager and add the widget to the Layout you are using for your Section.

Ahh figured out why it wasn't showing. I was in the wrong layout lol. For creating the content pages those links will lead to. I need to create them locally and upload through FTP?
