Toolbar
Installation of ToolmakerSteve's SiteNav adds a toolbar to Expression Web, with three
buttons:
TMS-SiteNav,
Insert, Custom.
NOTE: If Expression Web was running while you installed TMS
SiteNav, you will need to close all EW windows, and then run EW again, before
the toolbar will appear.
NOTE: If you have just created a website, using Expression Web's "New
Website" command, you may get an error message when you try to click one of the
below buttons. If this happens, do File / Close Site. (Or, quit Expression Web
entirely.) Then re-open the web site.
Button TMS-SiteNav
brings up controls for describing the structure of the site. Here is where you
add links to
pages of your site, and organize those
links into sections (groups). Note:
this structure is how a web visitor sees your pages. It is
independent of how pages are physically organized into folders on your web
server's hard drive.
Button
Insert is used within each
page of your site, to place a navigation link bar. These link bars contain the
links that let a visitor browse to different pages. The power of TMS-SiteNav is
that the appropriate links are automatically inserted, corresponding to the
structure of your site. So as you make changes (adding or rearranging pages),
the various link bars are changed for you.
Button Custom is an
alternative way to build link bars, not based on your site structure. Here,
links are directly added to a link bar. For instance, links to pages outside
your site could be added. [BETA NOTE: outside links can't be added in Beta 1.]
