Defining your menu
A dropdown menu is automatically created for you as you add links to the menu array.
Each time that you create a new page, you will add its info to this section.
<![CDATA[
# Creates your navigation menu
# You do not need to include the .php extension in the url
# Primary links should have a 'parentid' of 0
# Second and third level links should have a 'parentid' of their parent link
# Add or delete as needed
$menu = array(
'1' => array('id' => 1, 'parentid' => 0, 'title' => 'Home', 'url' => 'index'),
'2' => array('id' => 2, 'parentid' => 0, 'title' => 'Main Link 1', 'url' => 'mainlink1'),
'3' => array('id' => 3, 'parentid' => 0, 'title' => 'Main Link 2', 'url' => 'mainlink2'),

Sticky Side Column
If you're using our
PHP Website Template, this is the optional side bar column you can add to some or all of your pages. It can be useful for adding advertisements such as Adsense ads to be displayed on multiple pages.
When you include the side column, your main content will automatically adjust its width to accommodate it.
The side bar is 'sticky'; it will scroll down and remain in view.
You can turn on/off the side bar column per page by defining the $showSide option located at the top of each file.
