Need menu expert for 4+ level horizontal menu

I’m withdrawing the offer as I have decided to go with a simple CMS (Moonmoth) that parses my existing static HTML pages. I just found MODx to be too unwieldy for a novice like me, and the menu system is too frustrating. Instead of improving my productivity, for the past few days I have done no work aside from try to set up MODx to my liking. I think I over-estimated my skills when I decided to give it a go.

Thanks for the help Dimmy & mrhaw. I just don’t think I’m up to working with a full-scale CMS at the moment - simple might be the best solution for me.

Cheers,

Scott

I know - I tried that initially. But moving pages around was a hassle - especially since my page titles all started with the same thing (50000 Free Wallpapers -). I had to manually rename each page, create a container for each topic, and then move the pages one-by-one. With around 1,600 pages to do, it would have taken me forever.

I may consider MODx in the future, but I think my needs at the moment really are just a way to have all of my content pages presented in a standard template with my AdSense code etc. MoonMoth is doing that for me. I have a separate blog (I wanted it that way), so all my site needs to do is present the pages of thumbnails. MODx might have been overkill for my very basic requirements. The menus aren’t as good on MoonMoth, but they can be moved around easily, and they will do (although I have contacted the developer to see if he can add a parent menu for each page).

Hmm...
DocManager Module can do a lot of things:

n* - Change setting for this document and immediate children
n** - Change setting for this document and ALL children
n-n2 - Change setting for this range of documents
n - Change setting for a single document

Though this is for changing templates, permissions, sort, publish and author and will
not help you with doc title.

The options would be:

• Search and replace with this module ---> http://modxcms.com/Doc-Finder-Module-1.5.1-2279.html

In order to use MODX.
