                {% for item in left_menu %}
                    <li class="{% if item.selected %} active {% endif %}">

                    </li>
                    {% if item.submenu %}

                        </ul>
                    {% endif %}
                {% endfor %}
            </div>

            {% get_menu "NAV_MENU_RIGHT" as right_menu %}
            <div style="float:right;">
                {% for item in right_menu %}
                    <li class="{% if item.selected %} active {% endif %}">
                        <a href="{{ item.url }}">{{ item.name }}</a>
                    </li>
                    {% if item.submenu %}
                        <ul>
                        {% for menu in item.submenu %}
                            <li class="{% if menu.selected %} active {% endif %}">
                                <a href="{{ menu.url }}">{{ menu.name }}</a>
                            </li>
                        {% endfor %}
                        </ul>
                    {% endif %}
                {% endfor %}
            </div>
            <!-- NAV BAR End -->

            <!-- Footer Start -->
            {% get_menu "FOOTER_MENU_LEFT" as left_footer_menu %}
            <div style="float:left;">
                <!-- loop through your left footer menus -->
            </div>

            {% get_menu "FOOTER_MENU_RIGHT" as right_footer_menu %}
            <div style="float:right;">
                <!-- loop through your right footer menus -->
            </div>
            <!-- Footer End -->
