Creating basic setup

[PaRa]

Hi,

I'm testing phpWCMS to see what it could mean to me for future use, so i'm trying to set up a test.

First i created a page layout followed by a simple structure including a {NAV_TABLE_COLUMN} tag on the left. Then i added some articles to the different files in the structure.... but when i load the page i don't see the navigation on the left, so i cant navigate!

Am i doing something wrong?

thx!

hello

did you set all articles visibile and public?! made no tick on hide.
did you also set all structures you create to visible and public!?

Thanks.... the public was the prob!

Ok and btw... can you also tell me how to customize the menubar... so how can i change the button to something different, and are there any limitations in size or something...

thx again!

And, of course, you can ~PLAY~ around with replacement tags for Navigation:

Code: Select all

{NAV_TABLE_COLUMN}Produces a complete menu - the same as on the left. 

{NAV_TABLE_COLUMN:0}means start at Top Level. But now you can take any CAT-ID (in admin site structure) to start navigation at that given level. Example:{NAV_TABLE_COLUMN:3}

{NAV_TABLE_SIMPLE}Creates a simple navigation table based on the current structure level.

{NAV_ROW} returns a row based menu starting at site level 0 including the HOME link 

{NAV_ROW:CURRENT:1} row based menu starting at CURRENT level including the CURRENT structure level name 

{NAV_ROW:CURRENT:0} row based menu starting at CURRENT level without the CURRENT structure level name 

{NAV_ROW:ID:1} row based menu starting at given structure level ID including the structure level name 

{NAV_ROW:ID:0} row based menu starting at given structure level ID without the structure level name

{NAV_LIST_TOP}uses predefined settings. To change the layout you have to adjust the CSS information of page's template on which the navigation list should be presented. The predefined class is "list_top". To use your own class name you have to use the customizable replacement tag.

{NAV_LIST_TOP:index-name:list_class}used for customized list creation. To change the layout you have to adjust the CSS information of page's template on which the navigation list should be presented. Visit source code of the rendered page to see how the used classes are named for active list and links. Sample: {NAV_LIST_TOP: : } = no index, default class name.

{NAV_LIST_CURRENT}uses predefined settings. To change the layout you have to adjust the CSS information of page's template on which the navigation list should be presented. The predefined class is "list_level". To use your own class name you have to use the customizable replacement tag 

{NAV_LIST_CURRENT:show-index:index-name:list_class}This is the customizable version of the current level replacement tag: show-index can be set to 0 or 1. If it is set to 0 the index-name will not be returned. You can name the index-name as you like. This links back to the parent level. You can use your own class name with this replacement tag.

Thx Pappnase...

But the principle of open source lies in the fact that by sharing all knowledge more people will make use of the software which will follow in the creation of more plug-ins and stuff. So i still dont understand why the main site of phpWCMS lacks this information or at least contain some usefull links. Most people are too lazy (personal experience ) to search all topics in a forum for this kind of info.

just my 10cents..

Problem is... nobody is gettin' "paid" -and- larger percentage of users are "takers", but not "givers"

hello dex

yes thats right! i've seen this. and feel it to!

thats the reason why i delete my messnger infos out of the signature.
cos more Q's came, ok no problem but the most don't wanna have an answer, more somebody who do it.

it's sad that everybody only think on money! but it's good to know that here you, psouper, frold, jan212 and a lot more also then new ones wich try to help! thats what we need for this community! and it's good that good to see that some newbies also try to help!

[frold]

you can also install the test sql file with a template and a article etc. then you can play around with it...

Look in the folder:
\setup\sample_template_db

And use this file: phpwcms_init

[PaRa]

it was not my intention to raise the suggestion that i think not enough work is done... but with an easy WCMS (j/k i like this one for sure and easy as hell !!) it would be a piece of cake to add articles like the one provided by Pappnase... and about the one man show and raising money... thats really not what open source is about!

And about donations... i'll be damned if i wouldn't donate an amount if I make a lot of money creating a commercial website asking a shit load of money using someones open source!

I'm getting a bit off-topic here but if there is a need for articles i'll be glad to write one when i think i have enough knowledge and experience and i'll bet there are a lot of other peeps around who'll do the same!
