Differant panel links for each page.

y2kbg

How can I have a differant set lists and links for each page I make using the page manager. I am using the improved panel extension to edit the links but when I try to specify which page, all of the custom pages fall under index.php.

The sidepanel extensions only display 1 set of links for all pages or pages that you specify, so maybe there is a way to do what you want to do but I woudln't know how to do it lol. There's a way you could but it's a horrible way that will probably slow down your forum. Install multiple sidepanel extensions that way you have different sets of links for each page you want. I wouldn't recommend it though. Just curious why you want different links for different pages?

i am using the panel as a sort of secondary navagation. It would be sublinks of the page it is on currently. Couldnt i revise the sidepanle extension and add another if statment that looks at the, i am not sure what it called but the varible that is stored in the url, and adjust the links by that?

The variable you need is $Context->SelfUrl, and yes, you could quite easily :)

That works for most pages but... All of the pages created by PageManager all have the same $Context->SelfUrl.

In that case check the postbackaction.

Crazyotaku

so does this extension your working on display different links in the sidepanel on different pages? If so you might want to rename it so it's not misleading, since poeple will think it's just a better version of the sidepanel extension when it's more like a mod of it that does something extra that not everyone will need.

y2kbg

yea i have to Change some of the info and replace all of my specific information with generic fill in ones. How hard is it to make it changeable with a visual interface on a page under settings?

y2kbg

OK i fixed that one problem no no error at all: <?php /* Extension Name: REImproved Sidepanel Extension Url: http://lussumo.com/docs/ Description: Improved Sidepanel that is fully integrated with the existing Vanilla sidepanel.
