Hi,

How do I create a menu option to return to my main homepage?? On the previous imagevue, I was able to unhide the imagevue menu and create a new link to return to my main homepage.

I basically want to create a a button in the top center of the page to return to the main page.

Any help would be great apprecaited, Thanks!

Hi,

Just create a menuitem and put 'Use as' on Link.
Then in the Link box put the URL from your homepage...

Something I'm wondering about the menu is, I want to keep it's functionality but remove it from the stage of the main site. In a sense I want to try to do one of two things:

a. Have the menu auto-hide (as it does) but auto-hide almost entirely off the stage to where there's very little of it showing, if any.

b. Substitute the drop-down menu with a series of perhaps 6 small icons, that would represent the sub-sections of the site. So if I had a gallery of just landscape art I could have an icon that represented it, and the contact page could be let's say an envelope, etc. I'd much rather do it this way, and for better or worse there could be an alt="" like tag associated with each of the icons so that a popup of information (in some fashion) would allow viewers to know what they're clicking on.

The biggest problem I can see with the icon-driven navigation is that it would have to remain static on every page (as the main menu does now). But since new elements (of the menu) are created via the gallery administration, I don't see how the admin panel could allow the addition of icon navigation elements to be dynamically created on the fly as the menu works now. I love that functionality of the menu, but I wish I could minimize how much space that menu consumes, and the way it consumes it. I like the horizontal menu, but it doesn't look entirely right for some reason (to me) static with large styled boxes around it horizontally across the top of the page. I guess this could be option 3, where that horizontal menu could also have an auto-hide option, but again I don't believe that's possible as of yet.

Just a thought, and of course there's no better place to ask but here.

Don't wanna spoil it just yet, maybe next release will deliver something you can use. Something like filemods.

I am not quite sure how you would want to main menu to autohide any more than it already autohides. It shrinks down to a little black box hidden away in to right corner, simply covering an area to display the text "gallery menu".

Of course, it could be made smaller and more petite, but it would be the same concept.

Hello,
Is there any way to align the horizontal menu to bottom?
Thanx

I'm afraid that's simply not possible.

I see, thanx for the answer. I also noticed that margins options for the menu (horizontal) don't work... Do you plan to fix it? Thanx

I will look into a brand new horizontal menu eventually ... It will have to be recreated from scratch separately from the vertical menu.
