'Title Attribute' Field in 'Edit Contents -> Options': what's it for?

Post by chilsta »

Hi, I've set the title attribute on a page to test out what it does and can't see how to use it- I'm using the horizontal CSS menu.

Can anyone shed light? ???

Cheers,

Got Link, or screenshot, or some code to look at, or more 411?

Yeah, sorry- that was a lazy post ;)

I'm using 0.12 "Fiji" on LAMP. Everything works fine.

OK, so I'm on a page and I'm on the "Edit Contents" page where you edit a page. I then click the "Options" tab at the top and there's various fields there. I'm pretty sure I understand them all apart from the "Title Attribute" field. I guess that this might be used for non CSS menus or something, but can't find any mention of it in the docs or a description in the forums.

I was actually hoping that I could pull the data out of this to specify a URL string to a Flash movie- something along the lines of flashmovie.swf?name={title attibute} - if anyone knows if this is the way, or if there's a better way of doing that, I'd appreciate it.

I gotta say- the more I use CMSMS, the more I love it! Great work.

Cheers, C*

OK, I stumbled across the answer to this one-

I was looking through the installed modules and noticed "MenuManager". Upon further reading, this was introduced in 0.12 - I had skipped upgrading to the new Menu system as the CSSMenu I was using is working fine, but I see now that it would be a good idea to do this.

When I read through the help for MenuManager, it seems that's where all of the attibutes from the Edit Contents -> Options is used. Time to change my menu over from using CSSMenu to this new system methinks.
