How to create multi-levels within a section

Is there a plugin that allows me to create multi-levels of pages within a section and manage that site architecture from the backend? For example;

About would be the section. And then About Company would be the 1st tier of that section. And then within that, various pages like, About company history, about company news, etc… would be the 2nd tier of pages?

TXP only allows us to create sections and then assign pages to that one section.

Re: How to create multi-levels within a section

Hi dreamer,

There are a couple of ways I’d suggest looking at this one. The first is, if you are using the most recent version of Textpattern, take a look at Kevin Potts’ excellent article on creating section and article navigation The advantage of this approach – if it does what you need – is that it doesn’t need any plugins and relies on core functionality. Always a good thing.

Alternatively, take a look at cnk_section_tree which I’ve found incredibly useful and more flexible than it might first look. If you want an example, I’ve used it on BrightFarm Systems which does pretty much what you are after I think. The one drawback to make you aware of is that you don’t appear to be able to specify the order of articles other than by simple date posted, alphabetical order etc. which I think is a little bit limiting.

Hope this helps
Andrew

Re: How to create multi-levels within a section

adi_menu – the latest version (might be a beta still) allows you to dovetail articles in with sub-sections in the menus.

All remains is the drag/drop sort feature – and the ultimate menu builder is complete.
