jump menu

Hi

I’m new to textpattern.

The site that I wish to make has a simple design that consist of only one jump menu as navigation.
This jump menu contains links to articles and is fixed on every page. Every time I write a new article in textpattern, the title should appear in the jump menu. I would like to know if there’s a way to make a jump menu that automatically updates when I post a new article?

I’m possible fairly vague, but it would be a great help if someone could lead me in the right direction, or give me some advice, on how to do this.

Thanks

Re: jump menu

Hi k,

you can use txp:article or txp:article custom twice in a page template, so if you have a page template that is just an article list and has no individual article urls, you can do something like this simplifed example:

<!-- jump menu at top of page -->
<txp:article limit="99" wraptag="ul" break="li">
  <a href="#<txp:article_url_title />"><txp:title /></a>
</txp:article>
 
...
 
<!-- article list -->
<txp:article limit="99">
  <article id="<txp:article_url_title />">
    <h1><txp:title /></h1>
    <txp:body />
  </article>
</txp:article>

Embellish as required :-)
