I had my site made for me a couple of years ago and the navigation menu has allways bugged me , I just want to add a basic navigation menu on the left that is seo friendly

Can I do this with V7 ?

SEO with v7 is like lamb and tuna fish, who likes lamb and tuna fish?Originally posted by acegames View Post
If you want SEO you should consider upgrading to v8/v9 - the generated HTML markup in v7 is nasty from what I've seen. -
I would upgrade to V9, the menu system is better from SEO point of view and as standard gives you what you are looking for. V8 and V9 are better supported.Originally posted by acegames View PostComment

There is nothing wrong with v7 and it uses the exact same menu systems as v9. The menu you need is toplevelsection - just replace your current one which looks like one of drillpines.
V9 is better at seo yes but you can improve what you have in v7.Comment

thankyou , I cant afford to upgrade to v9 just now so need to make the most of what I haveOriginally posted by RuralWeb View Post
Can you give me some help with "toplevelsection" please ?Comment

Im not being lazy I have looked at editing it but I never made all the changes to my site so I am unsure what I need to remove and add nowComment

This area is well covered ok the forum so a search will help bit basically you need to edit two templates - actprimary and actbrochureprimary assuming your designer has not changed the names. Remove the code for the current menu and replace with toplevelsection menu
Or you you could install a copy of v7 on another pc and apply one of the clean themes then look at the template code for each of the templates and copy the bits you need into your site.
Or post your template code here and someone may be kind enough to change it for youComment

Then I have this one
ACEGAMES_PRIMARY_TEMPLATE
EDIT: sorry I should have posted all as text filesComment

The ACEGAMES one is the likely one. Replace everything from
<!-- START NorTree Act_Primary.html patch -->
down to and including
<noscript>NorTree (V11) requires JavaScript</noscript>
with
NETQUOTEVAR:TOPLEVELSECTIONSTOP
And also go to Design / Options / Layouts / Primary Templates and make sure that you've done the same to all listed there if required. Hint - click the Edit button to open the file in Notepad, where you'll be able to see its name.Norman - www.drillpine.biz

That shouldn't be happening. The top level sections should display but nothing is being generated. It works fine here on my 7.0.4.
I've no idea why NETQUOTEVAR:TOPLEVELSECTIONSTOP isn't generating the list of top-level sections as it should.
Best put things back as they were.Norman - www.drillpine.biz
