Sreen4: How to create a new menu-item in your cargoOffice

• 1. Language. Decide in which language you want to show your menu-item (en=english, fr=french, nl=dutch, etc). If the installed language of your browser is the same as in this menu-item, the browser will read this installed language.
  The amount of languages you want to install per menu-item is allmost endless.
• 2. Task (or Title). Name this menu-item (if your feeling insure, check with an allready installed menu-item).
• 3. Tab Text. It's only usefull to insert a text here when you are creating a menu-item in the backOffice. If your cargoOffice owns a coloured button menu in the topframe, a coloured tabbutton is made when inserting a text here. It's better to keep the text short then.
• 4. Task Description. Add a description about this menu-item. What it is about, etc.
• 5. Part of (sub-)Menu. Insert the (sub-menu) location, the place where you want to show this menu-item.
  The menu-system consists of different levels. The highest level is "frontoffice" (or backoffice if you want to place ta particulair menu-item inside your backoffice.) For every sublevel you have to use the following element "->".
  For instance, a second level could be adressed like this: "frontoffice->orderentry". If a menu-item is placed under this second level "orderentry", this second level should exist. This can be arranged in (7).
  If you add the menu-item (by using "Add new menu item") at the level you want to have it inserted, the correct submenu will allready be filled.
  (if your feeling insure, check with an allready installed menu-item)
• 6. Sequence in (sub-)Menu. If there are more menu's under the same menu-header, you can add a sequence number. The lowest number is showed on top of that particulair menu-block.
• 7. URL. The actual URL of the menu-item you want to show.
  In general you've got two possibilities:
  • A. The URL can refer to a menu-block header (the darker grey).
    Therefor you have to start with: "showMenux.php?menu=" adding the particulair block you want, ie: "frontoffice->newblock".
    All together you end with this: "showMenux.php?menu=frontoffice->newblock".
    (if your feeling insure, check with an allready installed menu-item)
  • B. The URL can refer to a menu-item. This can be the extra webpage you've created before or a webpage somewhere else on the internet.
    • An extra weppage you've created before.
      You have to start with this part: "/frontoffice/userpages/display.php?page="
      Then you have to add the name of the page you've created, e.g.: "page1NL" (see (1) from screen 2). Note: the name you add has to be exactly the same as the name you've created with your extra webpage function.
      All together you end with this: "/frontoffice/userpages/display.php?page=page1NL".
    • Another weppage from the internet.
      Fill in the correct URL of the webpage you want to add, e.g.: "http://www.bbc.co.uk/"
• 8. Target Frame. The cargoOffice consists out of different frames. Depending on the frame target you insert, your menu-item is shown. Check with an allready installed menu-item for all options.
• 9. User level. If you forgot to whom you wanted to show this menu-item, read UserLevels documentation.
• 10. Status. Keep active or show inactive if you want to hide this menu-item.
• 11. System ID. Add: "backoffice".
• 12. Help Text. The added text is shown in the question mark sign of this particulair menu-item.
