Step 3: Creating navigation files

Navigation files are not required, but they are recommended. There are two types of navigation files included in the new KU template: a top navigation and a left navigation. You can also exclude either navigation by leaving SSI code for "topnav" and "leftnav" blank.

If you wish to create a navgation file, it may be easiest to use existing navigation files as models. A navigation file is generally nothing more than a set of links which direct the user to significant portions of your web site. Here are a few links to sample navigation files that you may find useful as a starting point:


Once you've created your navigation files, save them in the "myssi" directory, and enter the file locations into your "myheader" file. 

<!--#set var="topnav" value="/~accountname/myssi/topnav.shtml" -->
<!--#set var="leftnav" value="/~accountname/myssi/leftnavigation.shtml" -->
