VB CMS: Display Sub-Sections Instead of Content Previews on Section Landing Pages?

[drumnbassbboy]

I have a section that is merely used to house additional sub-sections. When the user clicks on the main section from the section widget, they land on a page that displays the verbiage "There is no content in this section". This is correct because I do not desire to display the content from the sub-sections on the main sections landing page.

What I want to do is just display the sub-sections that are under this main section on the main sections landing page. I know I am not the first one to want to do this. This should be something that can be done out of the box.

Can someone please lend some guidance?

I'm guessing the best way of doing what you're looking to do would be to use the PHP direct evaluation content type and build the page manually. I agree...more dynamic content listings should be available out of the box...but there really aren't any.

Dead Eddie,
I believe the solution I am going to go with is creating different templates for these particular sections that just house other sub-sections and linking to them with static page content. It will look as if it is the section displaying the sub-categories. In reality, it is a static page with nothing displayed but the html content (i.e. hide page title, author, etc).

Do you see any drawbacks to this?

Though, if I knew what to call to have a php script loop through the sections sub-sections and print the links, I would technically only have to create a single new template, not multiple.

Anyone?
