Get node content in menu module

[louisk]

I'm wondering if this is made possible since this post in 2008?
I'm trying to access a content block through the menumodule.

Original post:

I am trying to create a menu in which some of the content blocks can be rendered.
Eg http://lunariot.gilescambray.com/music/test-album/

The album cover on the right is it's own content block, yet I would like it to appear on the left, which is a menu using the menu manager module.

In advance, thanks

I just did a reply to almost exactly the same question!  See: http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/index.ph ... 929.0.html

But that reply didn't really answer the question...

Not directly but it's a pointer to how it can be done.  From what I understand the problem is how to use the menu manager to include content from a content block in each of the pages.

Using a menu manager template it is possible to pass the page alias into the "get_page_content" function in CGSimpleSmarty. Eg:

Code: Select all

{foreach from=$nodelist item=node}
{$cgsimple->get_page_content($node->alias)}
{/foreach}

Hope I haven't mis-understood what we're trying to achieve here!

I've been wanting to do this for a while so I can make a true tab template, like the tabs on the main site, hope this works...

I've done this kind of thing a few times so post back if you have any trouble. CGSimpleSmarty is one of CMSMS's most useful modules. I would highly recommend it to anyone.
