[solved] Making a page a subpage of another

Post by jackstringer »

Using CMS Made Simple™ 2.0.1.1 “Adelaide”

I know this is meant to be simple but can I for the life of me do this.

I have tracked down the bit I am meant to be editing
Content Manager>Edit Page>Navigation>Parent

Now you very helpful manual says
Select an existing page in the content hierarchy which will be the parent page for this content page. This relationship is used when building a navigation
But it only accepts numbers, if I set it to 38 as the id of the one I want it to be a subpage it fails, if I set it to the number listed next to Menu Text it fails. I have had to go into the sql a few times to unbreak stuff.

So what is it I am missing.


oh btw the lockout for 60mins it a PITA if you accidentally click back rather than cancel.

If you're seeing a text input field there's something wrong with your installation and/or javascript execution.

You could check you're browser's Javascript (error) console to see if something is going wrong there.

This is how it should look:

To find the proper content ID hover the content item:
cmsms2011_content_id.jpg

There has been done some work to improve the lock feature for next version. Though note it relies heavily on javascript so your errors should be fixed first.

http://docs.cmsmadesimple.org/configura ... ck-timeout -> try setting it to zero to disable this feature for the time being.

OK just looked at Inspect Element in Firefox,
The Web Console logging API (console.log, console.info, console.warn, console.error) has been disabled by a script on this page.
The website is running via Cloudflare DNS thing if that is any help.
