    [t5c] SMT Items

    I need to create a customised left and right menu system in html. I have
    currently copied the raw code for these menu’s to all of the templates but
    this is not practical whenever I need to update the menu.



    I understand from the MM5 on-line documentation that I should use ‘SMT Items
    ’ but can not locate where to setup these up.



    Hope you can help.



    Regards,

    You would still need to assign the item to each page you want that menu
    on. SMT items are actually modules which are inserted into the page
    template. So you would need to compile the code into a component module
    and then assign it. Easy to do if you have the compiler and have a
    little bit of knowledge on module writing. It is just as easy to copy
    and paste that menu to each page that you want it.

      Someone recommended using the global footer as the cat tree and placing it
      in the correct place in the template. That way everytime you need to make a
      change you will only need to change it in one location.

      Of course now the footer will need to be changed in multiple places, but
      usually that isn't changed as often.

        That was me and you are correct. Seldom does the footer change. It did when
        one had to use the global footer to close off the HTML layout that we
        started in the global header. But now that we can do all that with the
        templates it frees up the global footer.
