Creating sub-sections & sectional landing pages
Hello all,
I’m designing a website that’s structured as follows:
Main navigation:
Home | About Us | Projects | Get Involved | News | Resources | Contact
Every one of these navigation elements should be represented as a section TXP-wise. I’ve done all things quite perfectly, but failed to achieve two major things:
1) How to implement TXP to make sub-sections? Under “About Us” there should be a “Testimonials” section which would have its own page & style sheet. I’ve successfully implemented clean URLs, so how could I make a title like this:
http://www.example.com/about/testimonials/john-doe-on-localpaper
?
2) How to make landing pages for sections? The effect I’m trying to achieve is similar to CARE’s organization sectional’s landing pages.
In other words, how do I develop an index page for a section?
Thanks in advance.

Re: Creating sub-sections & sectional landing pages
Currently Textpattern doesn’t support sub-sections, but wet is working on this, neither it won’t happen in 4.0.x.
- You could use categories, it would look like section with clean-urls
- You could also use regular articles for content
Cheers!

Thanks Gocom.
What about sectional landing pages?

Re: Creating sub-sections & sectional landing pages
the sectional landing pages could be the sticky article in each section or it could be a form as suggested by gocom here

Re: Creating sub-sections & sectional landing pages
Hello,
I’ve created a sectional_page page and put the following portion:
<txp:if_individual_article>
<txp:article form="static-article" limit="1" />
<txp:else />
<txp:article form="static-article" status="sticky" />
</txp:if_individual_article>It works pretty well. :)
Thanks again for the help.
PS. Why white space isn’t considered when using Textile’s @ markup for code? (edited, thanks to jakob below).
