Title: links in content
Post by: xmanhattan on April 23, 2008, 19:03:35

Hello,

I would like to list some people on a content page and then add either a link to the name or some small graphic that will display their resume / cv in a frame.  I can only see adding the resumes separately as autonomous pages.

Is there a way to do this using content pages?

Can anyone offer some clues as to how to do this?

Thanks.

Create a section category titled "cvs" and enter inside it for each people a content item titles as the people name.
Example:

cvs/jack-daniels.html
cvs/john-the-ripper.html
cvs/george-bush.html
etc....

If you have many of them you can use mine Appendix component that will create you an alpha index automatically.

Thank you for your replying.

I created the section.  Then in the description I copied paste:

jack-daniels.html
john-the-ripper.html
george-bush.html

I then went to the content page where I have a few names listed as members and chose one then used the insert / edit link and pasted jack-daniels.html in the link url.

This is what I received:

Not Found

The requested URL /elxis/mambots/editors/tinymce/cvs/jack-daniels.html was not found on this server.

Originally I thought that I could have the cvs (only about 5) as content pages and somehow just link to them.
e.g.
Jack (http://Jack)
or
Jack   8) (http://8))

What am I doing wrong?

Thanks.

No, you dont have to create manually the links.

Follow these steps:
1. Create a section. Name it what ever you like, i.e. "my section"
2. Create a new category named "cvs". Add this category inside the section "my section".
3. From the elxis administration menu navigate to Content-> Content by section -> "My section" items.
For each person create a content item. Name these content items as the persons name, i.e. "jack daniels".
Place these content items inside the cvs category.
4. Go to menu -> main menu. Create a new menu item of type "table content category". Select the cvs category.

Now go to your site front-end. You will see the newly added link to the cvs category. You will see a list of links to the persons CVS.
