I have successfully implemented the CSS horizontal and vertical menu examples for my application.
The problem is that for every new page I have to recreate the menus. If I make a change I have to recopy it on every page.
The ideal situation would be to implement the menus as part of a project template which would appear on each new page.
The CCS templates do not allow for server side components.
What is the best strategy in order to implement a project with standard dynamic menus?
The same applies to other components. If for example one needs the same search or login form to appear on each page.

Thank you. I have been trying to use includes in order to achieve this and it works after some tweaking around. I hope this is the correct way to proceed and that it might help someone else.
I created an includable page called "maintemplate" with a directory component called "hmenu" which gives me a horizontal menu as the examplepack2. It works fine when I use it as a standalone not includable page but when I include it in a new page called "NewPage1"
I get the following error:
"Notice: Undefined property: TemplatePath in
D:\www\htdocs\isi\maintemplate.php on line 98"
After browsing the forum I added the following code in the before show event of the hmenu component in the maintemplate file, and everything works fine.
"$mainheader->TemplatePath = "";"
Then I proceeded to add a vertical menu using the Label component in my maintemplate file.
This dit not work. The label gave me a nice vertical manu when used in a non includable file. When I make the maintemplate includable and execute NewPage1 which includes maintemplate, I get the following error message:
Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in D:\www\htdocs\isi\maintemplate_events.php on line 94
I had to add a global variable in the before show event of the label
global $maintemplate;
and reference my Label object as
$maintemplate->Label1->SetValue($MenuUl);
instead of //$Label1->SetValue($MenuUl);
used in the example pack 2

Hi,
Could you post/explain your workaround code.
I followed your post, but don't understand $mainheader:
i.e. "$mainheader->TemplatePath = "";"
Thanks

Links in included file should be absolute, not relative!
That prevents you from getting the error msg:
"Notice: Undefined property: TemplatePath in
D:\www\htdocs\isi\maintemplate.php on line 98"
For this, check every link in the included page and set the "Convert Url To" property to Absolute.

I set every link to absolute in the includable page, and everything works fine. I no longer need the workaround code. Thanks

Now I'm confused.
I have both Horizontal & Vertical menus created as includable files and they work fine when incuded without ANY of the tricks listed above as well as changing links to Absolute...

I am trying to include the menu in another an HH form using the VCSSMenu example .. I have made the following changes :
global $VCSSMenu;
$db = new clsDBIntranetDB();
$MenuUl = CCDLookUpTreeToUL("menu_id", "menu_name", "menu_id_parent", "menu_link" ,"menu", "", "menu_name", $db);
$VCSSMenu->Label1->SetValue($MenuUl);
I created a form called HH and included the VCSSMenu form but still I got the error :
"Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in e:\program files\apache group\apache\htdocs\ccsexample\VerticalCSSMenu\VCSSMenu_events.php on line 67
"
the error is refferring to "$VCSSMenu->Label1->SetValue($MenuUl);"
so what is wrog ??
