Hi!

RSP 2.0

I have a main menu on the left side in subgrid-column-1 with ID “mainmenu”. I use this on many of my webpages. Is there a way to link all these pages, so when I edit the main menu on the index page, all the others pages are updated as well?
Today I cut and paste to all the others pages using the same menu.

Yes, make a 'symbol' of the menu, insert it on all the pages, and when you update one instance of it, the other ones will be updated as well.

I'm not sure it will be recognised as a symbol on all pages if you already have created it on those pages. You will probably have to create it on one page, and then delete it from the other pages and re-add it.

Hi Wilford, I do this all the time with sites. My sites are all interactive so instead of pages being like index.html, it's index.php. PHP pages are nothing more than regular html pages that use .php extension rather than .html. Using php you can display any content from any php file anywhere on a page using what's called a 'php include statement'. It looks like this:
<?php
include ("left_menu.php"); ?> Or whatever you name your new 'menu.php' file. Just make sure path to file is correct
Wherever you place this code on your pages, the contents of 'left_menu.php' file you create and save to your root will display. To update your menu, simply edit your new left_menu.php file and save changes. Your menu will auto update across all pages.

In your RSD pages, the 'container' where your menu code is needs to be an 'HTML Element' to allow you to enter the php include code.
I believe there is also some code as of html5 that lets you do the same thing on a .html page however, I never use .html pages on any sites I build because most sites I build interact with a mysql data base. Wordpress is a prime example of this.

You can setup your server to parse php inside html pages.

I agree with Eric. As I hardly ever create site pages using the .html extension I forgot about this.
You need to be running on an apache server to do this. Simply add the following line to your Top Level .htaccess file:
# Use PHP56 as default
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php56 .php .html .htm

the php56 part relates to whatever version of php your server is running. Just run a phpinfo.php file to see which your using.
Once you have this set up you can utilize the php include statement in any .html or .htm file.
Here's a good link for more info.

Wouldn't the 'symbols' be much easier, as it is already a build-in feature in RSD?

Hmm Symbol?
I don't follow you here.
Can’t find any references to use of symbols.

There is some information about Symbols here.
