Navigation - Colorado College

To add a button to the left navigation bars, follow these steps:

1. Open the leftnavData file you want to edit. All of the leftnavData files are located in the /include/leftnavData/ folder.
   
   
2. Add this code to the spot you want the new button to appear on the sidemenu:

   idx= idx +1
   arDesc(idx)="BUTTON LABEL"
   arHref(idx)="/path/to/file"
   arSubItems(idx)=2         '*NUMBER OF ITEMS IN SUBMENU*
   '*INCLUDE THE CODE BELOW IF YOU HAVE A SUBMENU*
   if left_desc=arrDesc(idx) or left_id=arID(idx) then
   	left_select=idx
     	redim arHtmlID(arSubItems(idx))
       redim arHtmlHref(arSubItems(idx))
       redim arHtmlExtern(arSubItems(idx))
       redim arHtmlDesc(arSubItems(idx))
   	subidx= subidx+1
   '*REPEAT FOR EACH ITEM IN SUBMENU*
   	arHtmlID(subidx)="Some Link Here" 
       arHtmlHref(subidx)="/path_to_submenu_item/"
       arHtmlDesc(subidx)="CC 125th Anniversary"
       subidx= subidx+1
   '*END REPEAT*
   end if
   

   
   
3. Save the data file and verify that the side bar looks as it should.
