Hi,

Nicepage provides a Menu control to create dropdown navigation between website pages.
If you need any other type of navigation, please provide us with an example.

See attached screenshot. I want to emulate the "Select a Category" jump down directory. How do I do this in Nicepage?

Steven,

There is no such menu, but you can try to make up the menu + script handler yourself and add a HTML component

The reason I chose Nicepage is so I don't have to learn much about html coding. Wouldn't that jumpmenu option be a nice element in your next update? It was even available in Microsoft's old version of Frontpage.

Any update as to when this jumpmenu feature will be added? The feature has been around for years in other programs, going back to Microsoft's Frontpage.

Hi Steven,

This feature is not popular among our users and we do not have other similar requests so it remains in our wishlist.

That's a pretty bad answer. I would guess that the majority of your features are not used on most websites. That does not mean the jumpmenu wouldn't be used if it was available. A wishlist is just that, A WISH. It can't be that hard to add this feature considering it's been around for years in other website programs.

Hi,

Unfortunately, the jumpmenu still remains on the wish list, sorry but we can't influence our dev team and management.

I want to put a dropdown list of countries to select the language like Nicepage has in the windows version.

For you need a plugin or extension that translates the website, otherwise, there's no point only just choosing the names of the languages.

Auto translate is bad for professional webpages. Never 100% correct.

I've duplicated the english page, and changed all the texts to my native language (Portuguese). I created a new menu with EN and PT that link to each page. That works fine. Similar that you have in your windows app. The dropdown that only select is not what I needed. (your menus you press and selection and goes for where you want. that's why I gone that route).

Now the problem is that Menus can't have different languages because if I change in 1 page it will change in all pages. How can I resolve that? If I change the words in the menu from english to portuguese...the english page is also changed. In texts that doesn't happen, only in the menu. I understand that Header is common to every page, but 2 pages can't have different headers?

Hi,

Yes, we agree. With auto-translate or incorrect translation, websites don't look professional.

Yes, you are right. The changes in the header will lead to the changes in other pages of your website, and one website can't have 2 different headers. If you want to have a separate menu for different pages, you need a separate block below for that.

my other problem is how to link in each page their own block anchor???? we can't have 2 different menus pages in a website that have 2 pages??????

Go to Menu Items>> Link Settings >> Block Anchor >> Select Block. If you need a block from another page, simply choose the page and select the block.

You can make another menu for your 2nd page below the header, and for that "Page 1" you can use the option "Hide Header."

I hope it works for you.

For further assistance, please create a separate ticket.

I will try. Thanks.

I even tried to hide one element in a header in one page and show it in another page. but that's impossible in the Header, even elsewhere because I can't fully hide an element.

You are welcome,
Yes, it's possible to have only one header. If you want to have 2 different menu in 2 different headers you need 2 separate websites in different languages. One website in English and another one on Portuguese.
Hope it helps,
Thanks.

How can I put sticky on scroll in a normal block? The Header I can do that In a normal block I can't.
It's no point of creating a new block if it will not work as a Header if I want it to. My 2 headers are the same the only difference is the language.
I'm kinda frustrated about nicepage. Implemented some core basic stuff very badly.
It could be easy to hide an object if there was a list of elements in a page to select them later because in inv mode you can't select them. (don't let me start to talk about lists that are badly implemented also).
Why not having an option in the header like you have in lists to edit 1 cell or all cells? In header should have edit on all pages and only in present page.

Look at Oxygen, and learn something with them. It's pretty easy to make anything I want there. The only difference is that It needs Wordpress to do a webpage, I'm trying nicepage because I don't need wordpage for nothing.

i've made a new block and I've put this code in site settings on html:

<style>
  section.header {
    position: -webkit-sticky; /* Safari */
position: sticky;
top: 0;
z-index: 1;

}

In block css class I've put "header" to match the code I created.
With that I can mimic a nicepage header. Hope I done everything well. If I didn't please correct me. If I did well, hope this help others.
