Hello.

I am more than frustrated as I do not understand how I can resolve following issue:

I happily have set up a site: http://seniorerhvervdanmark.dk.web16.redhost.dk/

I need to have some children pages having another megamenu. BUT HOW? I created another menu. This menu should be shown as a megamenu on its own on some other pages. But I simply don’t get how I can set this up.

Do I need to duplicate all template styles??? How?? Do I need to add xml files aso? This gets messy as there also should be 2 administrators and they shall not access templates. So when they add pages and navigation items how can they point out the right template? :((:((:((

Please help!

Hi

You can solve your problem in this way

duplicate a style you prefer then open this new style and in Navigation Tab as megamenu assign your new menu

save it and assign this new layout to your submenu item page

Dear Pav.

Thank you so much for carying and helping me.

So I need to do following steps for every page where I want another megamenu navigation:

– create articles
– create menuitems
– duplicate template style – every template style I might want to use: default, blog, magasin, corporate, ..
– rename the template styles where I want to assign the menu for megamenu to
– assign the templates to each menu item

Am I right? Or did I get something wrong and there is a much smarter way?

… god if so.., that is plenty of work to do… I need to setup 24 location pages having approx 5 pages each.

I am concerned if that will be heavy for the site and slow down with having duplicated 5 templates by 24 times? What if I want to upgrade a new purity release? Would all templates be updated at once? God I have not been aware that it would be so complicated. What if we shall choose another template one day? :((

I also need to have 24 different administrators, so there I see a challenge how to make them assign the correct template. They also should not have access to edit and make changes to templates. 😮

I have another challenge. I have one menu item having som sub menu items in the default site navigation. I would be so happy if you might know a workaround, so I could reuse this menu item in all the other menus including the submenus.

Here you can see the site link to the “parent site” http://seniorerhvervdanmark.dk.web16.redhost.dk/ The menu item “AFDELINGER” incl submenu shall be as well on all “children sites” like : http://seniorerhvervdanmark.dk.web16.redhost.dk/aarhus

How can I solve this?

Will you help?

Hi Jeannine

The solution i posted above essentially assign a new megamenu to the new layout copied , clearly you will need of a certain numbers of layouts for all your needed mainmenu.I think also that there are no workaround for a different solution to it , this with T3 framework or any other framework.

ok, thank you. But would all this double data not slow the site performance down?

<blockquote>ok, thank you. But would all this double data not slow the site performance down?</blockquote>

All is referred to the amount of files that browser should load everytime it reaches a specific page, but since evrerytime it loads a single page, performances were not compromised , and your website should use browser cache settings, in this way surfing into your multiple website pages for returning users should be not a “bad experience “
