when adding template pages they are automatically linked to the other pages. If you mean you want a page to have its own menu to other, non-album pages for example, then you will need to add that code to the page. If you want to modify the existing menus then that would require more advanced coding.

Can you clarify what you really want?

The attached shows the menu structure that is created by jAlbum using the Base skin.
At the root level is the community folder, which contains the three subfolders Chatroom, Forum and Guestbook. Each of the subfolders contains just one template page, for demo purposes.

The menu has a link to the community folder, with a dropdown menu that has links to the index page for each subfolder. All of this is done by the skin as is, with default settings, you just need to create the folder structure. Is that what you want?

jAlbum only produces static pages, so you will need a content management system for the chatroom etc.

Sorry, I don't understand what you are asking. The code generated is HTML & CSS, maybe some JavaScript too. Are you wanting to add that menu to another, non-jAlbum generated HTML page?

To have the menu appear without actually having the folders present within jAlbum requires a modification to the skin. One way of doing it is to edit the skin's 'page-header.inc' file.
You will need to duplicate the skin and edit the copy, note if you want to keep the skin update then you will need to repeat this with each new skin version.

Open jAlbum and select the 'Base' skin.
From the menu select 'Tools', then 'Skin Developer' and then 'Create new skin'.
Enter a name, like 'MyBase' and check that 'Base' is shown as the skin on which to base your new skin.
Click 'OK'.
In the next dialog box click 'Yes' to edit the skin.
Click on the 'page-header.inc' tab to select that file.
Scroll down to line 48, which reads '${topNavigation}'.
Append the following HTML code to that line

<ul><li><a href="Community/index.html">Community</a><ul><li><a href="Community/Chatroom/index.html">Chatroom</a></li><li><a href="Community/Forum/index.html">Forum</a></li><li><a href="Community/Guestbook/index.html">Guestbook</a></li></ul></li></ul>

Save the change and close the page edit window.
Make a test album and check the top menu shows the links, which won't work of course unless you have those folders and index pages in the output folder already.

Does that do what you want?
