custom sidebar[SOLVED]
Posted: Mon Dec 15, 2008 8:41 pm
Hey everyone. I am a bit new to the forums so please excuse any 'noob' questions or statements and if this is the wrong place to post this question, please let me know.
I have been working with cms made simple for a while now and seem to have got the hang of it - for the most part. But I am faced with a problem that I know can be resolved with a little bit of help from someone a bit more experienced in cmsms.
I will sort of explain what my client needs and then go on asking for a way to complete this task.
It will be a product page template with links on it to get 'more info' and the like. The content of the template will be broken up into 3 sections: left {menu}productMoreInfo, middle {content}prductDescription, right {content_block?}productImage.
What I need is to make a template where the client can login and add new content. But on the 'edit content' menu where the TinyMCE is, there is a box to add content, right? Well I need an extra one for the {content_block} or for the product image.
I know I can do this using the {content_block} and adding the image in the global content block section of the admin panel, but the image is static..and I would have to create a new template for each product.
To confirm what I am talking about, I have seen it done in a few templates I worked with, where there was multiple places (TinyMCE's) to add content from the 'content/pages/edit page' page.
How can I create this new field in the 'edit page' section, where the user can add his product description AND image both on the same page and have the description and image display at separate places on the page? Do I need to custom program it into the admin panel? Or is there an easier way to complete this template?
If anyone has some help for me please feel free to post back.
Thanks
