    Default Changing the name of a page / menu button?

    Hi, I have just inherited an ASPDotNotStorefront site and the owner has asked me to sort a few things out.

    On thing is that one of the buttons on the nav menu (just a standard nav menu going across the page) needs to have its visible name changed. If the page URL itself can be changed, even better.

    However when i log into the backend I see absolutely no way of editing pages or the nav menu in this way- how can this be done?

    I'm completely new to this system so please bear with me.

    Thanks

    You could probably change it via string resource (Contents -> String Resource Mgr). Can you tell us specifically what nav menu you're referring so we can help further?

    In the admin backend I don't see a Contents menu unfortunately- I just have
    Home Manufacturers Categories Products Affiliates Misc Orders Taxes Delivery Customers Mailing Manager

    The nav menu I mean is one that appears on each of the pages and is a standard left-to-right menu linking to various site pages. Not product or catgeory pages but just standard "corporate" pages e.g About Us, Contact Us.

    You can modify that by adding the menu items in Xmlpakages/page.menu.config

    That really depends on the menu to be honest. Skinning is flexible enough that without seeing the site (and possibly the template code), we have no way of telling you offhand exactly what you need to edit. If it's the default, built-in horizontal menu that shipped in older versions like you're using, then that XML package may be all you need. You might also need to look at {root}/skins/Skin_#/menuData.xml. If it's something custom that was done for that skin, you may end up needing to talk to the original skin designer.
