The "content" in a template exported by Artisteer is just place holder content it is not part of the design it just helps you see what the design will look like but you must add your own content to the page in a cms.

In mojoPortal you add features to the page in the left or right panels and it will automatically adapt to 3 column layout, if you remove content from the right it will adapt automatically to 2 column layout. If there is no content added to the left or right and no child pages then it will adapt to one column layout. It adapts automatically according to the content you put on the page.

Similarly the vertical menu will appear as soon as you create a child page below the home page in mojoportal.

The Artisteer designer basically duplicates the horizontal menu in the vertical menu which to me doesn't make much sense, it seems more natural that the vertical menu be a sub menu and only show child pages rather than having 2 menus that do the same thing.

However if you want the vertical menu to not be a sub menu you can edit the layout.master file and remove this property from PageMenu control : IsSubMenu="true"

Also if you want the horizontal menu to also show child pages you can remove this property from the SiteMenu control: DynamicDisplayLevels="0"

Hope it helps,

Hi,

When you make a mojoPortal skin from an Artisteer template it is very important to choose the correct included mojoPortal skin as the starting point (as discussed in the documentation). If your design has a horizontal menu at the top of the header and a vertical sub menu then you should start with artisteer-24-verticlamenu2, if you used something else you may not have all the needed ingredients in your layout.master file. Pages that you create as child pages  under the top level pages in the horizontal menu will appear in the vertical menu.

Hope it helps,

Joe
