Add pages to the CMS menu

Overview

The CMS has a set menu structure that comes as standard for your website. However, some sites may need access to additional pages.  

This guide will show you how to add pages to the CMS. Be aware the the page you're adding to the CMS menu will need to exist as a menu item on the CSSADMIN menu first. Otherwise it will not appear in the CMS.

Step-by-step guide

To add a page to a CMS parent menu: 

1. In the CMS, navigate to Advanced Content → Resources. 
   
   
2. Search for the resource 'rcCssAdminPageAdditions'.
   
   
3. Edit the resource and add the page name (e.g. 'Dictionary.aspx'), separating multiple entries by comma.
    
4. Click Save.
   
   
5. Refresh the Dictionary for 'System Control'.
   
   
6. The page will now appear in the CMS menu. 
   
   
   

Alternatively, you may specify the menu item the page should appear under, instead of having the new page go to the 'Other' menu by default. 

1. Login to the CMS. 
2. Navigate to Advanced Content → Resources. 
3. Search for the resource 'rcCssAdminPageAdditions'.
4. Edit the resource and enter the page information as follows, separated by pipe ("|"): 
   1. Group Name (e.g. ECommerce, Content, or Settings)
      
   2. Top Level / Flyout Menu Name (e.g. Users, Products & Categories, Reporting, etc).
   3. Menu Label (the page name the user will see)
   4. Page Name (e.g. Dictionary.aspx, UserMaintenance.aspx?mode=admin)
5. For example: ECommerce|Users|Advanced User Maintenance|UserMaintenance.aspx?mode=admin
6. Save.
7. Refresh the Dictionary for 'System Control'.
8. The page will now appear in the menu you specified. 
   

In this example, 'Dictionary' will appear in the 'Other' menu, 'Test Email' will appear under eCommerce → Reporting, and 'Advanced User Maintenance' will appear under eCommerce → Users.
