Section header as title [SOLVED]

Post by volcanoboy »

I have the current submenu showing in a sidebar on my site as well as in the main css menu. And I'd like to have the sectionheader from the menu as a title above the menu. Is it possible to do this with a tag like {title}? Atm I just have it hard coded in the template but i'd just like to see if there's a better way to do it.

thanks

or I guess Parentpage is a better description.

Menu
• submenu 1
• submenu 2
• submenu 3

Is there a tag that lets me make "Menu" as a tag to put in my template so it says "Menu" when i put it on a page? Sort of like the {title} tag.

You can use CGSimpleSmarty to pull parent page and root page alias and title, it has examples in Help...

ok so I assume you mean the module CGSimpleSmarty. I installed it on the page and it removed the whole Admin interface. I have a completely css stripped version where i can't really do much. Also i can not delete the module trough ftp. I installed the module trough the site as xml.

any advice?

Hi,

I'm using CMS Made Simple 1.6.9 "Pouebo" for this site as my server doesn't support the latest php versions. I installed the module trough Extensions/Modules - Install module via XML file

Cheers


EDIT: I have never used the module manager before. Is that a better way to install the modules?

I would recommend Module Manager as it should only show you a version of modules that will work with your version of CMSMS, if you went to forge for it you chose the latest version which most likely doesn't work with 1.6.9 as it and CMSMS has changed a lot since then...
