07 - Building Page Titles and Setting Navigation Active State Dynamically
In Chapter 6 we finally moved off the Home page of our mock business site, and implemented the About page.
The job isn’t quite done, however, as neither the page title up in the browser title bar nor the main navigation indicates that we’ve moved off the Home page. We’ll fix that in this chapter by using more Embedded Variables in our embedded templates.
06 - Moving Footer Content, EE Conditionals, and Implementing the About Section
OK – so we’re still working on getting our site’s Home page fully implemented in ExpressionEngine. The items left to implement are:
- The Search functionality - which I want to leave for later
- The Latest News block - which will draw from the weblog so needs to wait until that section is implemented
- The Latest Products block - which will draw from the Products section so needs to wait until that section is implemented
- The Footer content - which can go in the Miscellaneous Content Weblog implemented in Chapter 5
05 - Editing Content, Implementing a Miscellaneous Content Weblog, and Embedded Variables
In this chapter we’ll do a few odds and ends - we’ll edit our content to get rid of the “Greeking” and we’ll implement a Miscellaneous Content Weblog to store the text found in the green area under the main navigation (and in the process, use one of the most powerful ExpressionEngine features available).
04 - Implementing a Weblog and Custom Field Group to Hold Home Page Content
In this chapter we start developing our data structure by implementing the Home Page Weblog with a Simple Content custom Field Group. Then we’ll pull the content that we want editable out of the template, post it into the weblog, then add the necessary EE tags back to the Home page to get ExpressionEngine to pull the content from the new weblog.
03 - Moving into the Index Template and Designing a Data Structure
In this chapter we’ll make a few coding tweaks to our site and make a plan for how to implement the rest of the site content with a combination of EE weblogs, Category Groups, and Field Groups.
