Connected Pages on CMS 2001
|
|
| Paul Smith 2005-10-24, 10:38 am |
| This may be a dumb question, but do connected pages on CMS 2001 have to be in
different channels? Since they share a name, it seems like they have to be.
If that's the case, can you give me a solution to this:
I'd like to share navigation content between pages within a channel. The
content will be spread throughout the site, so I can't just base it off pages
in a channel, and it may change from channel to channel, so I can't use the
Important Page option. I suppose I could use some custom properties, but that
seems like it might impact performance if I have to loop through every page
in the site each time a load a page.
Any solutions?

| Hi Paul,
sorry I don't understand why you need to have multiple connected postings of
the same page in the same channel.
Could you explain in more details?
Thanks,
Stefan

| Well, it might be a lack of understanding about something on my part, so
don't necessarily assume I know what I'm talking about.
What I'm asking to do is share a navigation placeholder between pages, so I
can hold a series of links on multiple pages in the same channel. These links
may exist outside the current channel, so I can't just rely on a typical
dynamic navigation code.
Basically, is there any way to have two related connected pages in the same
channel?

| Hi Paul,
using two connected posting in the same channel would not allow you to
access both with a friendly URL as both would end up with the same URL.
So that is highly not recommended.
You should better host the placeholder just in one posting (e.g. in a
completly different channel) and add some code to the template that just
reads the content of the placeholder from that posting and renders the
content on your current posting.
This will do the same.
Cheers,
Stefan
