Menu Bar

[Tylor Eddy]

Gday Guys

I have created my website, nearly done ! finally, just need some help on one more thing.

I need help creating a menu bar, the one that came with Roberts Template doesnt really match my site unfortunately. Can someone help me out with this?, I am relatively new to this but i am keen to learn. I also wanted to add some new menu buttons Forums, Contact Us etc.

Any help would be much appreciated.

My bad forgot my site link lol. website located here - www.southerncrossva.comli.com

Thanks

Well, their are always free applications out their that are very easy to use. If dont mind giving it a try, Their is a freeware program out their called GIMP. Give it a try, If it doesnt budge, I bet i could throw something together for you.

Your menu is in the core_navigation.tpl file, right now it looks something like this ->

<div id="menu">
<ul>
<li><li><a href="http://www.southerncrossva.comli.com/index.php/Frontpage">home</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.southerncrossva.comli.com/index.php/login/">Login</a></li>
<li><a href="http://www.southerncrossva.comli.com/index.php/registration">Register</a></li>

<li><a href="http://www.southerncrossva.comli.com/index.php/acars">Live Map</a></li>
</li>
</ul>
</div>

You can add any links you want like this >

<li><a href="http://www.southerncrossva.comli.com/myforum">Forum</a></li>

putting whatever address you want the button to point to in the line.

As far as looks, if you are not going to implement a new nav bar, you could edit the background images for the existing one with a photo editor and change the colors/borders in your css file.

ok , that help a bit, what file is this in ? frontpage_main.tpl ? im having trouble finding it like that, but i want to change the style on my menu bar as well, i dont like the buttons, also when i add on an extra line , like my about us page, where do i place that page ?, does it have to be the same format like the home page with a header, footer etc.

This is very confusing at the moment lol.

Thanks for the help so far.
