When I change my navigation bar on my %26quot;Index%26quot; page, for example I add or take away links, I have to go through every single page on my site and do it to each navigation bar on each page. How do I make it so that if I change something in the navigation bar on the index page, it updates all the other pages?
Is it possible? |||Yes you can but with conditions. Your pages must be part of a web (Microsoft speak for an entire website made in FrontPage) and your host must support FrontPage Extensions.
See http://personal-computer-tutor.com/fpnav鈥?/a> for how to make the navigation pane.
If you make individual pages or your host does not support FrontPage Extensions then no it can%26#039;t.
I had the same problem as you and found two solutions that work pretty well...
1) HTML files are just plain text so you can use a multi-file search and replace program to change all the pages in one go. BK ReplaceEm - http://www.snapfiles.com/get/bkreplace.h鈥?/a> - is a fantastic program for doing this. It%26#039;s simple to use but practice on a copy of your files until you get used to the program.
2) Create the navigation menu using JavaScript and include that on all your pages. That way you just have to edit the single JavaScript file.
If you cannot code it yourself, take a look at http://extensions.joomla.org/component/o鈥?/a> or just search Yahoo - http://search.yahoo.com/search?p=simpe+j鈥?/a>
