CMS Questions
 

Hey guys,

I never really used the CMS before and I am building a new site and so was looking through all the features and was wondering:

1. When opening the CMS, I have the list of the articles published in the middle. Is it possible to enable pagination or do I have to code it? I mean to be able to access even older articles that were published.

2. When using CMS sections, do the articles I post in separate sections also show up on the main CMS page? Like I post something in section 1 and 2 and the articles both show up on the homepage.

Thanks guys!

1. Edit the section > Pagination Links > Yes

2. They will if you have "Content From" set to "Include Sub-Sections"

Splendid Lynne, thank you very much, I will try it :)

Uh, I can't seem to find the option to enable pagination? :S

Go to your Home page > click the section edit pencil and it should be there.

Ah, I was looking at the admincp, thank you Lynne!

Another thing I can't figure out. I have set up so that the sections show up in navbar. When in certain section, how do you configure it so that the sub-sections show up in the navbar as a submenu of that section? Thanks

There is no option to have dropdowns in the CMS submenu.

Hm, does anybody know of a way to achieve the dropdowns? I have tried editing the packages/vbcms/navbar.php with no luck...

Have you tried just editing the template vbcms_navbar_link ?

Yeah, well I can add it manually. I just wanted something that would check if the category that is being added has a child and if yes, change into a dropdown. The code I had, didn't work but unfortunately I deleted it. I knew I added it into the function of the file described above and used the function getChildNodes but that threw out an error (something to do with $this cannot be used there).

But I guess I'll have to do it manually :p
