slowly learning this. now where do i find information about implementing the sitemap and search funcitons? also am i correct in that the search only searches the content and not file names for pdfs and images?

thanks in advance

i had looked at those, but my article page does not offer those features...do i need to code something before i get to see those functions? i don't know if i didn't turn something on during the install...

Hi Bob,

no, you only have to create a new article and then choose sitemap or search as the content part.

Bob,

Add new content part of 'sitemap' and 'search' to an existing page, just to get familiar with it. Then, you may want to put these on 2 hidden pages that are linked to from the footer of each page.

ok, now i am getting it, thanks

it is weird, instead of it being index.php?sitemap it is index.php?id=0,12,0,0,1,0 which threw me off.

thanks again

Hi Bob,

put an alias named sitemap under Admin->Site structure and you will get index.php?sitemap...

Hi Bob,

create a new structure level under Admin -> Site structure and name it "Sitemap". Fill in the value "sitemap" into the alias field. Then you have to move the article "SiteMap" (that is until now located under the structure level "Home") under the new structure level "Sitemap". Now the alias works and you should see the right address...

If you have problems, feel free to contact me via PM or send me a login account to your backend and I will check it.

i did what you said and it put a new category under the left menu - http://wcms.sytes.net:6583/index.php?sitemap but if i still use the address with the numbers - http://wcms.sytes.net:6583/index.php?id=0,12,0,0,1,0 all is fine. here is the new setup, please tell me if it is correct -

Hi Bob,

if you like, send me your login data via PM or to joachim@scholtysik.net and I will take a closer look at it. In your backend under http://wcms.sytes.net:6583/login.php I can check the complete site structure and I can also correct eventual errors.

Hi Bob,

I took a closer look at your template and it is right. You call the sitemap the right way with the alias at the bottom. The problem with the left menu is a "feature" in the opinion of the developer Oliver Georgi. Please read the following thread:

http://www.phpwcms.de/forum/viewtopic.p ... ght=navrow

Inside this thread there is an explanation how to disable this "feature" directly in the core code and hide the sitemap link correctly in the left menu.

If you have further problems, give me a sign a I will look also in the corresponding code, but I will need an ftp account to check it.
