Using Link Bars across sites

[Nick O]

Is it possible to use a custom Links Bar across multiple (SharePoint-based)
sites that all have the same parent site? I have a bar developed for my
parent site but don't seem to be able to assign it to other pages under the
same site. Thanks!

It is only possible to assign a link bar to pages in the same site.
However, a subsite is NOT the same site as the parent site. You will have to
create a new link bar for each of the multiple sites.

Bummer. Is there a way to copy the bar from page to page so I don't have to
create it new for each page?

Open a page with the link bar in a browser, then copy the HTML from View
Source. Paste into a new page, and use a copy of this page as an include
page in the subwebs (you will need a copy for each subweb).
When copying the navbar HTML, only copy the links , not the webbot comments.
You will have to amend the links in the include pages so they point to the
correct locations - the paths *will* be incorrect.
