The
real power of LinkMaster comes from its many options.
It gives you full control of what links are displayed, in
what order, with what names, headings, graphics and more!
With
the Nav Type set to DropDown (the first option
in the Properties Palette) the following options are available:
DropDown
Type
button only, change only, button and change
Select the action that the user will perform to go to the
selected link. e.g. Button only - user must click a 'go' button.
If
you select an option that includes button, you will then be
able to select from a standard form button, defining the text
on it, or you can use your own custom image as the Go! Button.

Top
Message
Define the message that will appear at the top of the DropDown.
By default it is set to '--Select--', enter your own value
in the field at the top of the palette.
Show
History
yes, no
This is a great feature of LinkMaster that allows you
to create a Link History, giving your user a sense of where
they are, and an easy way to navigate through many levels
in one click.
With
this option selected you can then choose if the link in History
for the current page will appear and be active through Parent
Self - no, yes, yes-nolink.
Show
Current Level
yes, no
Choose if you would like all Pages on the current level of
the site tree to be displayed.
If
you select yes, a second option Current Self (no,
yes, yes-nolink) available. When you are on the current
page, you can choose if that link appears at all, or if it
will be linked if it does appear.
Show
Children
all, immediate, no
For each page you can select how many child pages beneath
it will appear in the DropDown. All will display every page
beneath the current page. Immediate displays the next level
down. No displays no child pages at all.

Link
Name
Page Name, Banner Name, Title Name, Button Name
You can control which name will be used for each page. This
is very powerful, as you can set custom values for each of
these, via Fusion's Custom Name (Page View > Edit >
Custom Names)
Fixed
Links
yes, no
Fixed Links allow you to add any specified link, internal
or external to the DropDown.
When
selected, you are also given the option of giving Custom
Names (yes, no)to each Fixed Link!
Ignores
yes, no
Often on larger sites
constructing a site tree that is perfectly suited to automated
navigation is very difficult. LinkMaster gives you the
option to set pages that will be ignored when the navigation
is created!
This
very powerful feature is not to be confused with the Fusion
'Don't Publish' option.
Section
#
Section # allows you to sort the order the groups of links
will appear in, in the DropDown. Depending on the options
you have chosen up to three sections will be available. Click
through the sort options for each section.
Target
Especially useful when using Autoframes, you can determine
which location the link page will appear in.
Font
Size
Set the font size that will be used in the DropDown. Not all
browsers support this setting.
