List of Publications

Post by HarryCornelius »

Hello

I am after a bit of advice - I currently have a page with a long list of publications in 10 categories. At the moment I have done it in a very clumsy way using anchors and a table, but this makes it almost impossible for anyone else to edit!

Page is at:
http://www.northwessexdowns.org.uk/publications.html

Is there a module that might be able to do this for me in a way that users could easily amend/add to list items? I have just been trying to do it with the module LSIE but it doesn't quite do what I want.

Grateful for any suggestions,
Thank-you,
Harry

And LISE should be able to do it to.
Though the multiple PDF documents probably* need to be uploaded and linked separately unless you're willing to create a fixed number of upload fields.

* unless developer created some 'multi upload field definition' which I don't know

We use the uploads module. In it we have set up several categories and our client uploads either a single PDF file using the uploads module or multiple files using the document manager (uploads scans the contents of a given directory automatically if you want it to).

To show a list of the docs in a particular category on the front end I just add this to the page or template:

{cms_module module="Uploads" category="30" mode="summary"}

You can upload a thumbnail for each document if required - it all works quite well.
