i’m playing around with structure for the first time and have to say that i’m impressed. great job. it works very similar to a custom cms i used for many years prior to committing to EE. with that said, i would love some advise as to how best to utilize it on an update to a site i did for a buddy a number of years ago.

i’m trying to streamline and simplify the process for him and think that structure could be the ticket. right now each section is essentially it’s own weblog and the steps necessary for him to create a new one are numerous and somewhat complicate, although i will say it hasn’t really slowed him down. any thoughts would be greatly appreciated.

@running with scissors Try installing and playing around, basically you should able to group some weblogs and reuses them instead of every section being different. The managing is easier too through a single interface.

thanks for the reply travis. yeah, i tend to over-think potential roadblocks and pitfalls a little too much before i get my hands dirty and truly understand how the system works. i’ll give it a shot and play with it some more.

one suggestion that i thought could be useful for sites where there could potentially be large number of child pages would be to have a show hide/toggle in the structure cp.

Hi, I just bought Structure 2.05 and I think is a great module. I’m developing a multilanguage website, so I have a menu with the following scheme:

<ul>
  <li>english
    <ul>
      <li>area
        <ul>
          <li>page</li>
          <li>page</li>
        </ul>
      </li>
      <li>area 2
        <ul>
          <li>page</li>
          <li>page</li>
        </ul>
      </li>
      <li>area 3
        <ul>
          <li>page</li>
          <li>page</li>
        </ul>
      </li>
    </ul>
  </li>
  <li>german
    <ul>
      <li>area
        <ul>
          <li>page</li>
          <li>page</li>
        </ul>
      </li>
      <li>area 2
        <ul>
          <li>page</li>
          <li>page</li>
        </ul>
      </li>
      <li>area 3
        <ul>
          <li>page</li>
          <li>page</li>
        </ul>
      </li>
    </ul>
  </li>
</ul>

I needto create a drop-down menu for every language, but if I use the tag {exp:structure:nav_full} the drop-down menu starts with the language, while I need to make it starting from the “areas”.

I would need a tag similar to “start-from-level-2” (or something similar)

Have you any suggestion? Thanks in advance Alberto

@twdbaba You can use nav_sub and the start_from and show_depth parameters to do that.

You-are-the-best!

I didn’t understand the “startFrom” due to my limited english…

Now it seems working fine, tomorrow I will play with the tags and I’m sure it will works perfectly

Thank you very much! Alberto

Hi everyone, this is how I solved, I hope that can be useful to someone: I have two templates group: web (with general templates) and deu, with some specific german template and include.

In the contents template I wrote the following condition:

{if segment_1 == "ita"}{embed="web/emb_nav"}{if:elseif segment_1 == "deu"}{embed="deu/emb_nav"}{/if}

The two templates emb_nav have the following code:

the italian:

{exp:structure:nav_sub start_from="/ita/home/" show_depth="1"}

the german:

{exp:structure:nav_sub start_from="/deu/home-deu/" show_depth="1"}

The attribute start_from makes my navigation menu starting from the level I want (http://buildwithstructure.com/tags#tag_sub_navigation)

I hope this will be helpful to someone; thanks again for this wonderful module Alberto

I’m using Structure on a new site for the first time and it’s a bilingual site,

was wondering if anyone tried Leevi’s multi language with Structure?

EDIT:

To answer my own question it works great we had to figure out a way to translate the dynamic sub nav and not duplicate the structure so we can stick to one structure for all the languages mixed with Levi’s Multi language. works great!!

still working out some stuff.
