    Hi, Ive got almost all of your plugins for Dreamweaver and I LOVE IT!. But I cant figure out how the dynamic CSS menu can help me. doesnt understand the meaning with the dynamic menu instead of the static menu. BECAUSE...My site has these links: Home - Product - Contact The Home page and the contact page is a simple Url.(static) BUT..the product page is a dynamic element. The user adds product categories and products into 2 tables: categories_ctg and products_prd. I thought that the CSS menu automatically would get the subvalues from these tables, so when the user added a product, the menu would get a new value. ÀND..I can not use a "built with url parameter" because then all the links in the menu must go to the same url with different paramenters. The home page and the contact page shall not link to the product page, so that will not work either. CONCLUSION..I make the menu in the SQL table menu_mnu. But when the user adds a new productkategory I must manually add that category to the menu_mnu. Therefor I just as well can use the static menu, and the whole meaning with the dynamic menu is gone. I hope I have misunderstood this and it is a way around the problem, because now the investment for this extension for me is wasted.

        I read the posts, but I dont understand anything. I`m not a coding expert, and that is why I choose interakkts product. Please explain me how to make a menu based on urls (not database) and make it go to different pages. also how to add the new link from a transaction, so the user dont have to visit the phpmyadmin to add a link in the menu.

          Hello Sindre,

          I am afarid I don't know how to explain this better. Sam and me have offered you some links to both ASP and PHP solutions for implementing this feature which is not handled by MX CSS Dyn. Menus by default. Are you using ColdFusion maybe?

          If you don't manage to do the custom coding by yourself, following our indications, we could do this for you in exchange of one hour of commercial support.

          I hope you understand, let me know what you think.

          Regards,
          Ionut

              One hour of comemrcial suppport costs 50$ (as the link I gave you was showing). If you decide to go with commercial support, you will write to  consulting@interaktonline.com, give the link to this thread, FTP access to your site and database (if possible) or a .zip archive of your site and .sql file. Provide any necessary details.

              Regards,
              Ionut

                Looked into the CONCAT function and it works great. But some pages does not have an id (meaning that the index.php, has no ?id= pages. When concat the newurl its empty how to make the concat make a link based just on the page field, when the id field is empty? I use Nexttensio for inserting new products. How shall I make a tranasction that also inserts the product to the menu_mnu table? It has to fill out the id field with the same value as the id_prd in the products table.

                  You could make all links dynamic and just don't use the id parameter from url on the pages that don't need it.

                      In the page containing the NeXTensio2 form for inserting/updating the products, you can edit the Redirect Insert server behaviors and change the "Go To" field to point to a page where you will add the link into the menus table. Add the "recordId" parameter into the Redirect trigger's interface in the "Keep Parameters" section (with the "+" button).

                      On the page on which you redirect, you will add an Insert transaction on the menus table. You can access the id of the product by GET ("recordId" param.).

                      I hope this helps.
