CMS Made Simple Forums

Hi guys,

I've searched for this, but I couldn't manage to find anything sensible to me, so I dare to ask directly

Ok, I am using the last version of cmsmadesimple, and I've seen that in the page admin there are few additional textareas. One of them is labeled "Menu".

And because I want to have some pages which contain their subsection information I want to call this text in the menu field in the {menu}.

I will give you an example:

Imagine that I have structure like this:
1 Home
1.1 Some Page 1
1.2 Some Page 1
1.3 Some Page 1

Imagine also that in the Menu field of each sub page I have brief description what the page contain.

I want to call a {menu}, or another module in Home page, which could show information like this:

* Some Page 1
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet....

* Some Page 2
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet....

* Some Page 3
Lorem ipsum dolor sit amet....

I am trying to use menu to mimic this, but if there is something different I will be happy to use it. I've seen that in menu help there is no such field as parameter which I can use straight. The idea is to fill this automatically instead to ask someone to edit the root page every time when a new sub content  is added. It's like modified sitemap as well

Hope you can understand what I meant

Thanks in advance.

Anyone?

I would try modifying menu template so that you for example read what is on "Description (title attribute):" on "page - options" tab and display that on your menu. Modify your menu template so that you add  {$node->titleattribute} to menu template where you want text to be visible. Or maybe use {$node->extra1} if that suits you better.

Thanks for your reply.

About extra1 attribute, probably it would work, but it's text field rather textarea and it's not very convenient. But it's an option indeed.
