Custom text tags module?

Post by nonesuch »

I am using the latest version of CMSMS (0.13) and am rather attached to the idea of having a short page summary for every page displayed, outside of the normal "content" section. For an example of this in action, see theregister.co.uk, notice the short summary under each link, then click the link to discover the same text on top of the page. I had something similar in my previous custom-built CMS (currently down--can't link, sorry!). So what I really need, I think, is a module that will enable custom fields in the page creation section, then create tags for these fields that I can insert into my template. Any suggestions?

If I'm understanding right I think news module can do it for you ...

Yes, the news module does something similar, but I want this to work on all pages, including static content. It would need to add a custom field to the Add Page, err, page.

But since you've brought it up, what IS the tag to display the Introduction text from the News module? The Intro text displays on top of the article, but I need it to be in a seperate part of the page.

Please look at the summary template of news module  ;)

Code: Select all

{eval var=$entry->summary}
