My page hierarchy
-----------------------
Page 1
Page 2
-----------------------
How do I get the image1.jpg on the
Page 1 and all the Page's 1 subpages, and the image2.jpg on the
Page 2 and the Page's 2 all subpages?
I don't want to write a huge ifelse code where I put all the page's and subpage's names.
Code: Select all
global $gCms;
$thispage = '';
$thispage = $gCms->variables['page_name'];
if ($thispage == the_name_of_one_of_your_pages)
echo "something_you'd_like_written_to_this_page";
elseif ($thispage == the_name_of_another_one_of_your_pages)
echo "something_else_you'd_like_written_to_this_page";
else
echo "something_you'd_like_written_as_your_default";
Is there something easier way?

I would say it is very easy or I don't understand your question.
Make one template for main page 1 with image1.jpg and one template for main page 2 with image2.jpg.
Then just add mainpage1, subpage1.1, subpage1.2... using template 1.
and mainpage2, subpage2.1, subpage2.2... using template 2.
You should not need to write code, just use the templating features.

I know that should do the trick, but i'm looking for some
user added tags to do this. Then I just put the usertag in to the template code. I think it's much easier for the editors, than always remember to choose the right template.
Is there a some kind of variable which tell's what main page you are (page 1 or page 2)?. Even if you are in page's 1 or page's 2 subpage?
That variable tell's what is the page name, but does any variable tell the thing what we are looking for?

If they don't want to remember to choose the template, may be they can clic on "preview" before "submit" to see afterwards if they should choose another template ?
But I agree content producers (writers) could be a role and content assembling (in templates) could be another. Let's wait for 1.1 with workflow and multiversion to see role separation.

See this thread:
http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/index.ph ... 914.0.html
It describes a user defined tag that will get the page alias of the root parent, and place it in a smarty variable.
Once you have the smarty variable you could use this name to build an image filename, and then use the
{image src=$imagename} tag in your template.

Sounds great, but I can't get it to work.
