I can't find a search feature in this forum. If there is one, I'd be happy to search for the answer.
Question: I can't figure out how to "update all pages"...in the directions if shows a button to click for it, but I don't see it in my interface. Thanks.

I found this in another thread:
Hello,
Do you use the menu inside a PHP page or other server side script page?
The 'update in all pages' feature is not available in dynamic pages as you don't need it. You can simply create the menu in one page and then include that page in all places you want to use it. This way, you will have only one menu instance that will be easy to manage and edit at all times.
Regards,
Andrei Rinciog
I am using php pages, so that explains why the update across site isn't available. However, when I attempted to try it as an include, it failed in a number of tests. Steps I tried: create a page in includes folder called menu. Stripped out all code. Insert existing menu. Uploaded. Used as an include in an existing page. Result on one test lost all formating, one test lost positioning in Firefox. I'll keep testing but if you have further details on using as an include, I'd like to review it.
Thanks again

Hi Pat,
When using include you have to make sure there is only one rendering script (this happens if you have more than one menu). Also, the paths are important (the menus require some JS files).
If you could send us a copy of the site at support@extendstudio.com I'm very sure we can see why it's not working.
Thanks,
Cristian

OK... Will do. I have deleted failed tests but will try again tomorrow and document results better. Nice app, btw. :-)

Before I recreate, some quick questions:
Should the menu.php be in the includes folder or at root? I've tried both ways.
Should the menu.php be stripped of all code except yours? I've tried both ways.
thanks again.

Curious: where are the paths to the pages recorded? I can see different pages have or have not updated, so could do those manually, but looked at config files etc and can't see where the paths are called. I am guessing if I understand the system used, I could change one file to make changes sitewide. Maybe? What is the structure here....

more testing... If I update one page, and it works, then go to that page and copy the paths, add to the pages that are not updating that works... labor intensive, so hoping for a better way to manage...
<div id="creative_menu_structure" >
editing this code will do it per page...
Thanks for all insight on how this is constructed...

Hi Pat,
I'm a bit confused over what you do exactly. This should be quite easy, please send the files so we could have a look.
Thanks,
Cristian

I think I found how to do this in one of your tuts, but it is pretty buried:
http://www.extendstudio.com/creative-dw-menus-pack/Create_2_dependent_dynamic_menus_Dreamweaver_Creative_DW_Menus_extension.html
What are the chances of adding a search feature to the forum? It sure would help find the answers faster, although your responses were very prompt, it would be nice to search and find too.
Thanks much.
