Developer manual: Customizing site navigation

CafeEngine v2.3 has 3 site menues (see admin area->Site Navigation). If you need more please follow the instruction:

1. Find following lines in /include/options.php:
   $options['menunames']['1']='main';
   $options['menunames']['2']='left';
   $options['menunames']['3']='bottom';
   
   and add something like
   $options['menunames']['X']='<internal_menu_name>';
   Where X is a number larger than 3 and <internal_menu_name> should be a set of alphanumeric characters. Please be careful because X in fact is a ID of menu in DB.
2. Find following lines in /admin/language/wording.php
   $language['menuname_main']='Main Menu';
   $language['menuname_left']='Left Menu';
   $language['menuname_bottom']='Bottom Menu';
   
   add line like
   $language['menuname_<internal_menu_name>']='<Name of menu in admin area>';
   
3. Now new menu would appear in admin area and you can build it there.
4. To show it to site visitors you need to change template some template located in /templates/<theme>/tpl. At the place where new menu would appear add following code:
   {foreach from=$site_menues.<internal_menu_name> item=mi}
       {if !empty($mi.link)}
           <a href="{$mi.link}">{$mi.title}</a>
       {else}
           {$mi.title}
       {/if}
   {/foreach}
   It will show menu items you built in admin area only.
5. Customize new menu look.
