[Solved]Need to have links to other pages

Using CMSMS 1.9.4.2

I have a horizontal menu: {menu number_of_levels="1" template="minimal_menu.tpl"}

One page is called Program and this contains (from the original site layout that I am now converting to CMSMS) a list of links to the other pages that contain each item of the program. Eg, from the old site:<ul>
<li><a href="history12.html">Australian History</a></li>
</ul>

As these change from time to time, I don't want to list them as a sub-menu - I just want them clickable. Each page also has a link to take the viewer back to the main Program page.

I imagine I set them up with Program as the Parent Page and make them NOT to show in Menu, but am not sure what to do next to make the links "live".

Thanks

You could create sub pages with content type = "Redirecting Link".

In the "Program" page you can then add a {menu} tag in the content field with

Code: Select all

{menu startlevel=2}
Another option is to use a module for the links. For example
LinkMgr http://dev.cmsmadesimple.org/projects/linkmgr or
ListItExtended http://dev.cmsmadesimple.org/projects/listit2
