Hi all,

Is it possible to create a page that displays a summary of its sub pages? Basically as the news summary page functions.

Can't find a module that would accomplish this, thinking perhaps a template in menu manager but how would I pull in a summary of the pages and ideally a photo?

Not sure where to start on this one, so any pointers would be gratefully accepted.

Chris

Look at the CGSimpleSmarty module. It has plugins/methods to retrieve content blocks from specified pages. You could easily combine that with a Menu call/menu template to do what you want. Depending of course on the complexity of what you want.

Look at CGSimpleSmarty module, in help there is instruction about cg_simple::get_children() and cg_simple::get_page_content() functions that should bring you to desired goal.
