Using content_module entries in menu
Posted: Tue Feb 26, 2013 1:09 pm
Dear all,
For a lot of websites I'm working on, I use different menu templates, which load content blocks from the child pages in the menu itself, mostly images.
Normally I use something like this in my page template:
And in my menutemplate:
This is working okay. The only downfall is the fact that for instance the content_image block only shows a dropdown with images filenames, which isn't really userfriendly for the editor.
For this I would like to use, for instance, the GBFilePicker, which adds more functionality to the editor by showing the picture itself.
Downfall is that values of this content_module block can't be fetched in a menu template.
Or is it?
Is there any way I can get the value of a content_module block of child pages for use in a menu template?
Thanks guys in advance,
regards.
