MenuManager-Cloned pages need unique content

Post by RyanC »

Hi, don't know if this is possible, but in my site I have many pages that appear in multiple categories of my menu, using the Internal Page Link content type. This is working fine, but on each page I would like to have a little link button that takes you to the next page in that particular category. The problem is that many pages appear in multiple categories, so if I were to put a category-specific link on that page, that link would appear every time that page comes up, even if it's not relevant to the particular category it's in.

I thought of making a unique page for each category but that seems like too much work, the content is the same. Just the link information on the page itself would be different.

So the question is, can I have the same page appear in multiple categories under MenuManager, yet have unique, category-specific content on that page as well?

Hopefully that made some sense, thanks for any help.

Anyone? To make the question simpler, I have several internal page links. But each one of those page links must have unique content (links). I would like to do this without including several copies of the same page in my site. This might defeat the purpose of an internal page link, but I don't know what my other options are other than have duplicate files.

Thanks

Duplicate content with only a few links changed is not a good idea, there is really no good way to do this, I was thinking you could do something with parent page (if parent page = this, do this, if the other do something else) except if it's internal linked the parent page will always be the page it is set under, internal link to page 3.2 will always have the page 3 as it's parent even if you have an internal link under page 5...

Thanks, I suppose I will just have to have multiple links on a page. I have a page that appears in 5 categories so on the page itself I will have to have five links to each of those categories. It will still be functional it will just take up a lot of space on the page.
