VANTAA - Frequently asked questions

How can I implement a sitemap into VANTAA?
As the VANTAA navigation is based on JavaScript, search engines might have problems indexing the complete site. To handle this you can implement a sitemap which contains a link list to all subpages.

Thereto add a new variable and name it 'Sitemap'. Then paste the following code into it:

<ul> {$foreach x in (folder "navigation/*")$} <li> <a href="{$x.link$}">{$x.author$}</a> </li> {$next$} </ul>

In a next step create a new CityDesk article in the navigation folder called 'sitemap'. Enter the following variable call in the 'Article' field:

{$.Sitemap$}

At last add a link to that article from outside the navigation folder, e.g. in the footer area of your website. Therefor open the 'basic' article in the 'admin/basic' folder and insert a link to the 'sitemap' article into the 'Article' field.

How can I turn off the horizontal scroll bar that always appears in VANTAA?

My menu bar seems to be disappeared. Why?
The disappearance of the menu can follow from line-breaks, special characters or other text formattings in the "Document Short Title" field of VANTAA. Please be sure to write everything in one single line. To fix the problem you should mark the whole field (STRG+A) and enter the document title again in plain text. The menu can also break if you use special characters in the CityDesk article name.
