[t5c] SMT Items



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.

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.

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.

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.
