Enabling Positional References In Themes For Menu Editor

This help file will explain how to enable referencing in Menu Editor. References will allow the user to choose which position on the home page the menu items will be on. These positions will be numbered and the corresponding number will be used as a reference in the menu editor to place the menu item in a specific position.

1. Open settings.xml, normal path C:\Triaster\TriasterServer2011\Settings\settings.xml, "ctrl + f" and search for "theme name=".
2. Add <Level MaxItems="12" Index="1" PositioningSystem="Ref" PhotosEnabled="True" /> in between the <homepage> tags.
• " Level MaxItems="12" " Refers to the maximum number of menu items that will be visible on the home page. This may be limited based on your specific theme.
• " Index="1" " Refers to which level on the menu will be affected. 1 being the top level.
• " PositioningSystem="Ref" " Will need to be included to enable positional references.
• " PhotosEnabled="True" " If this is input into the line this will allow photos to be attached to menu items. If this is enabled then photos will have to be applied to each menu item on that level. The photos for this will need to be stored in Triaster/Triaster2011/Browsertoolkit/themes/libraryname/photos.
3. This will enable an extra item in the menu editor.
