Hi Everyone -
I have an ASP classic website that was just moved over to a Windows 2008
server running MS SQL 2008. The site has a "library" where the CSS tree
menu is pulled from a database. It's seldom updated, so I hate that there
has to be a query hit every time someone goes to the site. I switched it to
a static menu, where I make the change when they make changes to the
categories/order. However, this is a PITA as well.
My thought - which I need feedback and ideas on - is to have a "Rebuild
Menu" button on the page where they manage the categories. After they make
changes, they "build" the new menu, which then writes out the menu to a file
which is included in the ASP page via server side includes. Just not sure
what all I need to consider when doing this, or what the best next step is.
Thanks for any thoughts.
Todd
