Menu / Links (Navigation & Tabs) Print Topic

You can create Menus and Links (site navigation) with the Menu/Links functions. You can create Menu Tabs (which appear at the top of your site), Links (appear near the bottom as text links), and you can create a Custom Menu that appears on pages you specify (using the Page Layout functions).

Name:
This is the text that will appear on the Tab or Link, try to keep these short as they can affect the look of your site.

Link Type
Tab:
Tabs are the menu buttons near the top of the storefront (between the "Top Logo" & "Top Banner" sections). You can change the background or text color of the Tab under "Default Colors". If you want to use your own images (instead of the PDshopPro graphics), select "Use Image" and enter the URL to your image.

Link:
When enabled, a simple text link will appear near the bottom of the PDshopPro storefront (just above the "Bottom Banner" section).

Custom Menu:
When enabled, a text link will appear in your custom menu. You can force the custom menu to appear on any storefront page, see "Page Layout" help topic.

Row:
This is the Row that the Tab/Link will appear. Rows are from bottom to top for example Row "1" appears as the bottom row. It you create too many tabs on one row, the storefront layout may be affected as the Tabs do not "wrap" into the next row.

Position/Order:
This is the position in the row that they will appear, for example position "1" appears first on the Left. If you want the tabs sorted alphabetically, make them all the same number.
