Set up


Step 1. Add Folder and Instance to Type


Click on Type and then click "Add Folder". You will get a prompt to add a folder to the Type you selected.

Give the folder a name. For example "Main Nav" and click "Add"

Now click on your "Main Nav" folder, and click "Add Instance". Be sure the pop-up's header is in the right location.

Give this page the name "Home" and click "Add".

Continue to add Instances to the "Main Nav" folder till all the items for your navigation are implemented.
In this example I will have "Home", "About Us", and "Contact Us".

Step 2. HTML


In your template found in the "Templates" tab on the main navigation, place the following Repeater.

<si:Repeater select="Pages/Main Nav" showItems="true">
       [[name]]
<br />
</si:Repeater>

If the Type is check as "Is Page", you can preview the page under the "Edit Instance" tab.

Here you can also view the Instance ID, edit the name of the instance, move the Instance to a new folder and delete the Instance.

Step 3. Set Instance as default home page


If you wish to make this Instance your default home page, grab the Instance ID and go to Settings found in the main navigation.

Then click on Site Settings.

For the field "Home Page URL" paste in the ID number for that Instance.

You can also set the error page by pasting in the Instance ID into the "Error Page URL" found above the "Home Page URL" field.
