In my current job we control the menu from a static block. But I didn't build or edit this.
I am building my own site and want to use the same feature. But i'm not a PHP Dev
I did look at this ticket How to use custom navigation menu instead of categories menu
and I did edit the file here app/design/frontend/rwd/default/template/page/html called topmenu.phtml
I removed this code
<?php if($_menu): ?>
<nav id="nav">
<ol class="nav-primary">
<?php echo $_menu ?>
</ol>
</nav>
and added my own static block code {{block type="cms/block" block_id="top-menu"}}
But it doesn't work.. this code just appears as code on the top of the page.
This is what the code I have looks like now on the topmenu.phtml page
<?php $_menu = $this->getHtml('level-top') ?>
{{block type="cms/block" block_id="top-menu"}}
What can I do to give this ?
Thanks.
EDIT Just to be clear.
I've added normal HTML code to my static block. The issue is making the static block and the html account appear in the menu.
I've not added PHP code anywhere. I've removed the following code from the topmenu.phtml page
<?php if($_menu): ?>
<nav id="nav">
<ol class="nav-primary">
<?php echo $_menu ?>
</ol>
</nav>
<ul><li>...</li>...
