@mirkob currently, you can not order within the weblog tag by Structure ordering. It’s on the list!

@travis, Ok thanks! I’ll use the fixed_order option for now.

Thanks Travis, that was the problem.

Also, Is there a way to handle two different menus with structure. I have utility (top) menu and a main menu.

Thanks for your help.

I’ve got another issue. I’m trying out structure for the first time with a site redesign so I may have many more questions as I go. I’ve got the current class working but it doesn’t show up on my index page (www.sitename.org). It only shows up on www.sitename.org/index.php/home because i titled the first page in structure as home. These two pages are technically the same page but structure is viewing them as separate pages. Is there anyway around this?

Try adding “/” as the Page URL (see image attachment)

@rlargett There is no way to have separate menus. The current class is working as designed, since that’s the URI you entered - no way around that, Structure wroks on absolute URIs+URLs.

Yes this an awesome add-on!

Two requests though -

  1. Sub Nav Overview link. I’d prefer the option of this link being the title of the ‘overview’ page. For example /about-us is called About Us. Admittedly this is part of the main nav but the client doesn’t understand that if the option of having an overview page is there then why isn’t it named after the parent title.

  2. Sub Nav UL The ability to turn off the outer UL for sub nav. A client wanted to be able to add in a few extra LIs outside of this group of pages but it means I have to create a separate list.

Also, I noticed that using Structure renders dynamic URLs like categories useless.

At the moment I have a static page with a structure URL of articles/index. It is a listing too so we can create new articles. All good so far.

The template consists of the static page weblog, the article weblog (with all articles listed) and category navigation.

If we use the weblog parameter dynamic=”off” in the article loop then they all show but the categories nav doesn’t work.

Alternatively, if we take dynamic=”off” out, the categories work but we get no articles!

Am I missing something?

Trying to use this module, but can not get it installed on 1.6.8. I place all the files accordingly, however, when I go to the extensions manager, it gives me a blank page, I assume this is a php error of some kind, probably syntax?

I was able to get the module listed in the options, but upon hitting “install”, it blanks as well.

Anyone else having similar issues with 1.6.8 and structure?

Could be a memory issue.

I’ve added the following to the system/index.php file, in order to troubleshoot and update memory

ini_set(“memory_limit”,”32M”); error_reporting(E_ALL);

It still blanks and no errors are being displayed.

****UPDATE**** Looks like our admin has switched the server we we’re installed on back to PHP 4.3.9 without our knowledge. Obviously, this is the issue. Thanks stinhambo for the response.

Try error_reporting(E_ALL);

Also you can increase memory via .htaccess

Yeah, i’ve found that 16M is the minimum for reliability. Also, it seems 1.6.8 has problems keeping your file permissions set to 755 or 777 – they seem to start at 644, so double check that on your install.
