"Hi Michael. How do I do that?
BTW- the menu just came back on it's own. Not sure if it's something I did, or if someone else (that's the trouble with CMSes) did something.
Thanks!"

Michael Fienen replied to Bonner Karger's discussion Having trouble with navigation macro in the group dotCMS"Try just flushing the menu cache."
Bonner Karger replied to Bonner Karger's discussion Having trouble with navigation macro in the group dotCMS"Help! Everything has been working fine for months. Just today, the entire navigation just disappeared...on all pages. The person in charge said they didn't do anything out of the ordinary.
Ideas?"

Bonner Karger replied to Bonner Karger's discussion CMS for small sections of a department site"I've used Wordpress (the software, not the hosted service) for other CMS-type uses...such as an article system as part of a larger non-CMS web site. I still think it's overkill for what I need.
Stephen, I checked out PageLime, and it…"
Stephen Bell replied to Bonner Karger's discussion CMS for small sections of a department site"Things don't any more lightweight than PageLime (http://pagelime.com). Add a class to the div (p, a, img, etc.) you want to be editable on a static HTML page, then give PageLime FTP access. If you've used CushyCMS, it's the same idea…"
Jay Collier replied to Bonner Karger's discussion CMS for small sections of a department site"You could use it out of the box, and only provide author access. There are other lighter CMSs, but there's a lot of support for WP."
Bonner Karger replied to Bonner Karger's discussion CMS for small sections of a department site"I was thinking of something much lighter weight. They won't be able to edit anything but the content, and we won't need widgets, plugins, themes, or any of that stuff. It's on the short list, though."
Jay Collier replied to Bonner Karger's discussion CMS for small sections of a department site"How about WordPress?"
Bonner Karger posted a discussionCMS for small sections of a department site
Howdy folks. I am a web developer at the University of Wisconsin. In my department, I'm currently taking over as lead developer for the main web site. Previously, I'd been lead on several other sites under the dept. umbrella, but never for the main site.We're in revision mode now. As part of the revision, some faculty want the option to be able to update their faculty/staff page on the site. Some are web savvy, others are not, but they want the option. A few of them are using (with some…See More
Christopher Falzone replied to Bonner Karger's discussion Having trouble with navigation macro in the group dotCMS"Not a problem. Glad to help."
Bonner Karger replied to Bonner Karger's discussion Having trouble with navigation macro in the group dotCMS"Thank you Christopher. With your help, I was able to tweak my CSS to work in IE. List styling is kind of an arduous task! Thanks for all your help over the past few weeks."
Christopher Falzone replied to Bonner Karger's discussion Having trouble with navigation macro in the group dotCMS"The navigation here: http://www.edinboro.edu/about_eup/

Bonner Karger replied to Bonner Karger's discussion Having trouble with navigation macro in the group dotCMS"Welp, I thought I had it. Of course, it the active state doesn't work in IE7 or IE8 ( not testing in IE6 ). Active state works perfectly in FF and Safari. Can someone show me an example of this working 100%? My CSS must be off just a bit."
Bonner Karger replied to Bonner Karger's discussion Having trouble with navigation macro in the group dotCMS"Bingo! The list item was getting the class="active", but the anchor was what I needed styled. I have it all worked out now...including setting the active style for the level 2 nav.
Cheers!"
Christopher Falzone replied to Bonner Karger's discussion Having trouble with navigation macro in the group dotCMS"Just top of my head but a couple things to try ...
Does it put the class on the anchor tag not the list item tag?
li a.active { color: #009ACD; }
Or perhaps you need to color the a tag instead of the li tag?
li.active a { color: #009ACD; }
Is…"
