make a good and logical navigation for my site
hello,
Im now using the rss-sup-archive plugin for making my navigation for my site.
It work very good. The only disadvantage is that the list this plugin makes is very long because very much happened.
I have the articles in the following sections :
- algemeen
- zwangerschap
- bevalling
- 1e jaar
One of my idea’s is that visitors see the sections.
If they choose a section they see the articles of that section on the same way the rss-suparchive does.
Is this possible in TPX and if so , how can i make this or does someone have a better idea for this problem.
The site im talking about is : www.tamarawobbben.nl. It is about the life of my daugther.
Regards,
Roelof

hi roelof,
that’d be no problem. I don’t see that your articles are in sections at the moment, but that’s no problem. Create your sections, then assign your articles to the relevant section. In the article-list box you can mark the articles you wish to move and use the “with selected” drop-down at the bottom assign them to a new section.
You could then use article_custom or, even easier, rdt_article_menu to automatically generate a list of articles in that section.

Roelof,
One other possibility is for you to use the conditional tags in combination with rss_superarchive to limit which articles are viewed based on the user’s current section.
Or am I misunderstanding what you want to do?

Re: make a good and logical navigation for my site
the most likely is :
menu :
- algemeen <br>
- zwangerschap <br>
- bevalling <br>
If for example the user choose for zwangerschap that the menu looks like :
- algemeen <br>
- zwangerschap <br>
all the articles on this section. <br>
- bevalling <br>

Roelof, do you mean something like this (click on ‘gebruikte TXP-plugins’ in the right column)?

I think that depends on how your menu is coded. What I am using there is some javascript, that I found here. See if you can use it. I’m not very good myself with these things but I got it working ;)

Or use domCollapse which I think had the same purpose as the script Els gave you.

Re: make a good and logical navigation for my site
<blockquote>– algemeen
– zwangerschap
all the articles on this section. (1)
– bevalling
i hope this make things clearer.</blockquote>
If you want the thing above, I suggest that you make a menu template and wrap the article-lists (1) in a div and use domCollapse or the script Els gave you to hide/show it when you click on it.

<code>
<h2>algemeen</h2>
<div id=subalgemeen class enz.>
<rss_superchive enz.
</div>
