Content management as it is meant to be

Seems like the solution I posted two posts backPierre M. wrote: Hello nate22,

I think there is no need of the News module, no need of coding : your yellow prototype is a standard template with two {content ...} blocs (columns). You create a new page to create a "pair", you put it where you want in the hierarchy (categories) wich generates the {menu ...}.

It depends how you call the MenuManager. In my post, I put this code in template:nate22 wrote:Wouldn't this add a new Menu item for every pair added? I don't want that. I want only 5 Menu Items (categories) and under each will be a potentially infinite number of pairings which are accessible only through "previous" and "next" buttons.Pierre M. wrote: Hello nate22,

Code: Select all
{if $cgsimple->get_root_alias()=='the-specified-root-page-alias'}
{cms_module module='menumanager' template='prev-next-template' start_page=$current_page_alias [b]show_root_siblings='1'[/b]}
{/if}
), provided that the alias of their root parent matches the alias.If I continue the licensing problems here, I'd get off-topic, so let's get back to the original thread here: http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/index.php/topic,20120.msg99083.html#msg99083nate22 wrote: Thank you, Vin. That seems like an elegant solution. If I use it, I guess I'd have to leave the branding on the admin page as per Calguy's request. I suppose if Calguy's modules are the more important ones used in CMSMS I will have to use MODx for this particular project, but it is nice to understand the different terminology to go about solviing the same problem in both environments.
Oh damn, those mistypes... I corrected it in the post (for other readers).nate22 wrote: There was one error in your code for the UDT (for posterity I mention it) ... $global in line 1 should be global (no $)... I kept getting an error message until I removed that.
Oops, I didn't realize it may be unclear... I meant, in Documentation (the User Handbook section), there is a part "Share your tags here" (under User Defined Tags), and there is a tag which does practically the same as the function from CGSimpleSmarty module.nate22 wrote:
Question: what does this mean: "you can use a UDT from Share your tags in Docs"? ... the part I'm having trouble understanding is "from Share your tags in Docs". I have no idea what that means.
