How do I edit navigation on USD web sites?

Staff Faculty

Left-hand navigation on departmental sites is stored in a file called subnav.xml
1. In Dreamweaver this file will be available in the Files Panel
2. In Contribute this file can be accessed by typing the following path in the address bar: http://www.sandiego.edu/sitename/subnav.xml
The file consists of the following regions:

label="Announcements" (this is the english that shows up online)
link="&basePath;announcements.php" (this is the link/name of the file)
class="&class;" /> (you won't ever need to edit this)
If no navigation is showing up on the Web site, there is either no subnav.xml file in the site or there is an error in the coding of the subnav.xml file. Contact Joy Brunetti when this is the case.
