Need a Menu showing, by me, selected pages

Post by resistem »

I've searched this forum and other places for the last hour now without finding what I'm looking for. If there still is a topic that touch this subject that I've missed, please excuse and point me in the right direction.

Anyway, what I need help with is a Menu that shows and updates itself when I add related pages.

I have used the

Code: Select all

{menu template='real_simple' start_element='3.1' show_all='1'}
for one part of the site and that works great, but the thing is I also need something more advanced. I'll try to explain:

Say I'm doing a site with record reviews. When I click in on one review - say Aerosmith "Rocks" CD - I would like to add a list at the end showing related reviews. So, my question is: can I add a menu that lists all pages with the alias starting with "aerosmith", and updates the list when a new Aerosmith review is added?

Or maybe I could ID the pages somehow and tell the menu to list all those with the same ID?

I hope this makes sense and someone can help. Thanks.

You may have read the Menu Manager Help, there is a option call about prefixes and suffixes, this may be what you seek...

resistem,

Another would be to create all subpages under a given parent, pulling them as a next-level menu, and related to the parent that way....

RonnyK: yes I know. But since I've already added hundreds of reviews each filed under year and format I'm kind of stuck. I could re-do it, but that takes a lot of time and also creates some other problems. But thanks for sharing you idea, always appreciated.

Is it maybe possible to place some sort of list with links to searchresults that I've chosen?

Like a module checking the CMS and displaying the links results including the term "aerosmith". Or something like that?
