Menu and Dashboard on same page

Scriptcase 8 Discussion

I am wanting to have a horizontal menu on my site that shows all the time. One of the pages I want to have is a dashboard, but I can’t seem to be able to display the Dashboard and still have the menu.
I suspect I’m doing something dumb, but don’t know what it is.

Also I really want to add an app (for the whole site) header above the menu, to have for example a company Logo, Company Name, and maybe a few variables like who’s logged in, etc. I would like this to appear on all pages.

and while I’m at it, I would probably also like an app footer, that appears on all pages.

Thanks.
Alan

Start with a menu application. In layout you can set a template as header where you can assign your logo and other variables. IN the menu application you can set a default application and assign applications to the menu. That way the menu will always be there. The dashboard can be made with a container application. Hope this helps.

Thanks, I think part of my menu going away when I did a redir to the dashboard is just me doing something wrong. I will play some more, but thanks on the header, footer info. I did not realize that. Love SC again.

Albert, Is the setting up a Template as Header documented anywhere, or is there an example somewhere?
Thanks

On HTML templates under Layout you have the templates, is just HTML. If you write something inside { } then SC will understand it as a var, and you can “manage” from Layout menu on Application. In this menu you can assign too wich header template you want to use.
