We’re building a site that is very news oriented. Sports news specifically. http://www.dakotapreps.com/index.php
A majority of the site content is input using three channels. The main one being news articles. The entries are categorized. The articles are then displayed on various pages based upon the categories selected.
The problem we’re running into is that we need EE tags to be changed based on what a user clicks. So at the lowest level there will be a page for a specific sport for a specific school. We hope to have sub-pages for statistics, rosters, and things like that at that level. We’re messing with a tabbed sub nav here at the moment, but the same idea would hold true in this example: http://www.dakotapreps.com/index.php/sports/11aa-football/ . So the same page design holds true for every class (11AA, 11A, etc.) but the articles that are displayed are only those categorized as such (11AA would be one category).
We’re looking for a way to dynamically change the EE tags so we can use one template page for every Class and School page. We were looking at using global variables to do this but are really open to any ideas. If we have to build a page for each page and sub page we’re looking at over 1000 pages.
Hopefully looking around what we have developed so far will shed some light on exactly what we’re looking to do.
Any ideas would be greatly appreciated. If something doesn’t make sense let me know and I’ll attempt to clarify. Thanks in advance.
