menu links problem

tgipson · 2015-05-22 09:08:09

I am reworking my website with CE4 and have uploaded the landing page/home page. Seems to work for the home page. Uploaded an auto gallery to be linked to my menu item "the art". Links to 404 page.

I have all uploaded CE4 items with phplugins activated but am unsure where to modify my menu.

Thanks for the help!!

the link to "the art" goes to this location: http://www.terrygipsonphotography.com/ , which doesn't exist.
What page is it supposed to link to?

Are you using phplugins to manage your navigation? If so, look in the phplugins.php file and choose the section for the navigation you want (single level, multi-level, multi-level with autoindexing)

Good point. That is a secondary address that points to my primary domain. I fixed that but the links point to an unformatted link??

Thanks for your time and help!

your blog link goes to your galleries.php page
Exhibitions go to a blog/ folder with nothing in it apparently
Shows and "the rest" go nowhere:

<span><a href="/theArt/">the art</a></span>
 
        <span><a href="http://www.wtgphotos.com/galleries.php">the blog</a></span>
 
        <span><a href="http://www.wtgphotos.com/blog/">exhibitions</a></span>
 
        <span><a href="">shows</a></span>
 
        <span><a href="">the rest</a></span>

So where are they supposed to go? And are you using phplugins to manage navigation or are you using navigation in Pages.

I don't know what you're trying to do so I can't really say where things are going wrong.

I want to use phplugins to manage the menu structure, and with CE3 I knew where to go, but I'm not sure what file contains the menu code to modify in CE4.

I am piecing things together and unloading one section at a time for now, making sure the links work. The other menu items do indeed go nowhere for now.

Which file contains the menu structure? I have phplugins checked on all exports.

CE4 and CE3 phplugins are nearly the same. Matt's changed things up a bit in the code to accommodate newer css classes, and has added one or two more built in functions, but other than that it works exactly the same.

Which file contains the menu structure? I have phplugins checked on all exports.

It's just like in CE3, the exported phplugins.php file has all the code.

Just checking the phplugins box isn't enough. You'll also need to add the server path to your phplugins/ folder (not a URL, a server path) as described here: http://ce4.theturninggate.net/docs/doku … _phplugins

I bet I don't have the correct server path. I'll check and holler back if problems recur.

Thanks again and I'm very grateful for the help!
