Details - Create a placeholder Entity and assign this as a Menu Type


We are creating a Standard Menu

  • A menu is a collection of templates attached to a special entity called 'Menu Option'
  • You must create or modify a template to include an entity of this type
  • Taking the 'simple.htm' template as detailed in the previous steps you need to add another entity as follows:-

    • <html>
      <head>
      <title>Simple Template</title>
      <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">
      <link rel="stylesheet" href="nzsstyle.css" type="text/css">
      </head>
      <body bgcolor="#FFFFFF" text="#000000">
      {text}
      <br>
      {news_menu}
      </body>
      </html>


      • There is a NEW entity called {news_menu} - make it a name you can recognise
        • avoid entities starting with 'menu...' as there are reserved entities starting with this name
      • This will be the placeholder entity for the menu to attach to
