NorCascade - Create Dropdown Menus from Actinic Netquotevar Section Structure. Author Norman Rouxel - www.drillpine.biz (V11) CHANGE LOG 03-02-06 V1.07 Added compatibility with clean install of V7. Files changed: NorCascade.exe 13-12-05 V1.06 Added compatibility with Actinic Multi-User V7. Files changed: NorCascade.exe This uses the Actinic Sectiontree Netquotevar structures and is always up-to-date with the site structure. The menu is automatically rebuilt whenever you upload the site. This program is capable of creating a set of cascading drop down menus for navigating all the sections from an Actinic V5 or V6 site. You can have menus laid out horizontally or vertically. They can start with a single piece of text, an image icon, or show your entire top-level section list. You can have the menu fixed in place on the page or floating so that it's always in view. This uses the CASCADING POPUP MENUS v5.2beta (c) 2001-2003 Angus Turnbull, http://www.twinhelix.com see the above site for restrictions and licensing info. This is an excellent cascading menu system that works in most major browsers. How it works: Actinic will automatically generate an array of section names and URL's if you add two NETQUOTEVAR's to your Act_Primary.html. As these aren't in the format that CASCADING POPUP MENUS v5.2beta uses a small recursive Javascript routine (buildmenu) converts these arrays into the required type. There are lots of configuration parameters. Installation: Install NorCascade from this zipfile. This should install into C:\Program Files\NorCascade. See the http://www.twinhelix.com site for full info. Download the v5.2beta. From that download copy the files pop_core.js and pop_events.js into your C:\Program Files\NorCascade folder. Run NorCasCade, select the version of Actinic you're using (V5 or V6) and do Create Var, Save Settings and the necessary support files will be copied to your Site folder.. You also have to follow the Configuration instructions below to patch Act_Primary.html and (optionally) Act_Brochure_Primary.html. The menu will be automatically created whenever you do a site Preview, Update or Refresh. Configuration: In your Site folder (usually Site1) in Act_Primary.html immediately before the tag (make a backup copy first) add the following html (use a text editor not a word processor):- In your Site folder (usually Site1) in Act_Primary.html immediately after the end of the
