New Module: Structure - Uses entries to create a page hierarchy for static and listing pages

Travis… thank you for structure. it is absolutely integral to what I’m doing. My first site in EE- and I can’t really fathom how I would organize things using the native EE pages module. Although I didn’t really spend much time working with it…

Structure 1.1 – asset type is totally useful! before I had a few ‘asset’ weblogs that weren’t ‘listed’ in structure anywhere- and were polluting my nice clean structure site-map. I also will use the assets in a variety of places- so it didn’t make sense to me that each of them had to be a ‘listing’..

anyways- just wanted to pop in and say Kudos for an essential plugin.

Should be shipped with in EE 2.0 IMHO.

ps. a link of the site I just launched: http://www.bellyfit.ca (doing final cross-platform bug fixes now)

>>> Addition Bug in Safari 3.2.1 (Structure version 1.1 and 1.0x) -drag & drop in structure tree is buggy. You can click & drag all you want- but can’t drop! Must refresh page or navigate away to stop the structure element to drag all over the page. -jquery glitch? no biggie- i usually use FF.

Also- I see the settings button is showing up properly in FF now- wasn’t in previous version. The settings button doesn’t show up in Safari- however.

cheers rowan

I’ve been following the Structure tutorial on jambor-ee.com and have got the home page working. However, any additional pages I create give me a 404 error. I attempted to create the services and about pages without any luck. Does anyone have any thoughts about what might be going on?

Update: I’ve got this working on my Dreamhost account, but not on my 1and1 account. Trying to figure out what might be different between the two. Both are running PHP 5.2+ and have identical installs.

New release v1.1.1 http://www.ngenworks.com/software/ee/structure/

If you’re using an SQL query to get entries of a certain parent, how do you then access the order that has been set for the entries using the drag’n’drop in the control panel?

I’ve run into a problem with a site I’m working on. Client has been entering new pages (products) using Structure with no problem but then it came to a certain page and it won’t return a list of child pages.

I’m using a SQL query to get the IDs of the child pages for the current page you’re on:

global $IN;
global $DB;
$entry_array = array();
$sql="select entry_id from exp_structure where parent_id='{entry_id}'";
          $result = $DB->query($sql);
          if ($result->num_rows > 1) {
            foreach($result->result as $row) {
              $entry_array[]=  $row['entry_id'];     
            }
            $entry_ids = implode('|', $entry_array);
          };

If I change parent_id=’XXX’ for the ID of the parent that’s causing the problem, I get nothing, but if I put in the ID number of some other parent page, I get a list of results. But if I run the same query in EE’s Database Query Form with the ID number of the problem parent page, it does give me a list of results.

Anyone got an idea what’s going on? :long:

@Tyssen Are you having the issue with any other new pages created? Have you tried deleting the pages and then recreating the association between them? Remember, when deleting them from Structure, the entry is only removed from there, but still exists under the Edit tab.

Yeah, it’s happening to all new entries that are created at the same level (four deep) not showing up their subpages. But the thing is that there is a section of entries entered at the same level which do work. And deleting and recreating the entries doesn’t change anything. And as I mentioned, using EE’s SQL form does show that there are entries with parent_id relationships.

Setting up a new site for a client, running EE 1.6.6. Downloaded v1.1.1 of Structure and installed according to instructions. Followed the tutorial on Jambor-ee, but I’m hitting a road block in that when I go to Publish/Edit content under a ‘Structure’ managed weblog, the ‘Structure’ tab is not appearing.

Any reason why this wouldn’t be showing up?

@sillbeer make sure the extension is enabled under Admin » Utilities » Extension Manager

Jeez, don’t I feel like a bit of a twit. I was looking at them originally thinking they were enabled because I could read (enable?) next to ‘Disabled’ which is greyed out.

Thanks Travis.

Cheers Brendan

Hello,

Looks like an awesome plugin. Questions, will this plugin allow you to put all the pages in the root of the site? meaning all the uri’s will have no subfolders…

so…

Kevin

also is this plugin compatible with LG Betta Meta plugin?

Is there any way of having a ‘Structure’ managed weblog’s sub menu display in a non-Structure managed page/template?
