I am plying with the tutorial and have managed to create a rudimentart site. I now want to change the top menu, which I found I can do by editing "design/tscm/templates/pagelayout.tpl". I have also created corresponding folders and articles. So far, so good. However, I cannot figure out how to connect the menus to the corresponding articles. Should I do that in a file or from the admin interface?

Thanks in advance.

What? Do you want different menues in diifferent sections of the page?

No, I want to connect each menu item to an article. At the moment nothing takes place when I click on a meny item.

Loke what do you mean with menus, because I don't know which tutorial you're talking about?
Can you give an example of what you are trying to accomplish?

I guess you want to edit the templates. Editing of the templates can be accomplished both ways: 1) using an editor (file) or 2) by using the admin interface.

In my case the second option isn't working (maybe you have more luck :) )

The tutorial I am following is "Building an eZ publish site":
http://ez.no/developer/ez_publish_3/documentation/building_an_ez_publish_site

I have got menu items on the top, as shown in the tutorial:
http://ez.no/developer/ez_publish_3/documentation/building_an_ez_publish_site/the_welcome_page/creating_and_using_a_custom_template

and I have also created corresponding folders and articles, which duely shows up in the administrative interface, under "Content". However, I cannot get the menus to work. When I click on a meu item entitled e.g. "News" I would expect the News page to be displayed, but it doesn't. Even though I have populated pagelayout.tpl with
<a href={"/news"|ezurl}>News</a>

I have debug mode switche on and the following warning puzzles me a bit:

Warning: eZModuleOperationInfo::execute Oct 29 2003 17:35:28

Missing main operation memento for key: 7a0d65170ab2ac77690b3511e1ee3f04
Debug: here 1 Oct 29 2003 17:35:28

array(1) {
[0]=>
string(62) "ezcontentobject.contentclass_id in (1,10,11,12,13,2,5,6,7,8,9)"
}

I don't know whether or not this is significant?

I have now installed ez Publish from scratch and this time everything works as it should. I am not quite sure what I did wrong the first time around, but who cares?

Did you ever figure out how to solve this problem?

"Missing main operation memento for key"
is not important, you can savely ignore!
