We build upon the templates and navigational menu that we have created in the past two episodes by creating the structure of our example site, adding links to our menu, creating multiple instances of our master, and using the switch master function to apply specific menus to each page.
Here we discuss the ability to create a menu within a master that can be applied and re-used within multiple templates. We talk about are the pros and cons of the iRise menu system as well as a hands on of creating the menu and adding it to existing templates within a site.
Masters are a way to create page content or functionality that can be re-used either in templates or pages. In this tutorial we create a master where we embed a flash object and apply into a template. Discussed are the ability of masters to be changed and that functionality is the same throughout, and also the ability to break the master reference and make local changes where needed.
