Structure is a new way to build ExpressionEngine sites
It forgoes the current template_group/template setup and creates “static” and “listing” pages that are all editable through a tree sitemap view. Now, traditional page style content and multiple entry pages can live within the same area. Your clients & authors will rejoice.
Structure includes:
• A simple interface to edit all your content in one location • Dynamic output of navigation, sub-navigation and breadcrumbs • Permission system to allow certain access and editing capabilities for each of your member groups

UPDATE 2.0 is out! http://ellislab.com/forums/viewthread/134500/ Info + Docs: http://buildwithstructure.com
KNOWN BUG: Structure currently does not work with the core version of EE by default. We’re using a variable that is shared with the Pages module, so without the proper lang.pages.php file in place it causes errors. To correct this, if needed, place a blank lang.pages.php file in your /system/english/ folder. Everyone should buy a license though! It’s money well spent.
Hi Travis,
Looks neat. Unfortunately don’t have a server running PHP 5 at the moment but will try it out at some point on my localhost install. Just as a quick note in the download read me file it says to install the CP jQuery file from http://www.ngenworks.com/expressionengine/cp_jquery/ but in fact you need to go to http://www.ngenworks.com/software/ee/cp_jquery/
Just thought you’d like to know.
Looks really smart though and I’m sure that a lot of people will be very grateful that you have released this for people to use.
Best wishes,
Mark
hi - i’m trying out the extension. got it installed no problem. seems great, but i’m wondering why i don’t see all of my sections when i choose “listing” under the ‘structure’ tab when editing a section entry. i see some sections (blogs), just not the ones i want to list ! i’m probably missing something here.
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '&', expecting T_VARIABLE or '$' in /path/modules/structure/mod.structure.php on line 104
I have uploaded all relevant files and I receive this error when trying to access extension page. I am using the multi site manager if that makes a difference.
Or if I skip the extension screen and try to install the module I get this
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR in /path/modules/structure/mcp.structure.php on line 171
This is looking really good! Thank you 😊
I’ve installed it and seems to be working fine except, like colinbird, I’m also not seeing the full list of blogs when checking the ‘listing’ box?
Also is there a way to have a main nested navigation that remains consistant on all pages? I tried setting the start node to 0 but had no joy…
Thanks again for this!
@DEA capture the errors and let me know. Make sure the native Pages module is NOT installed.
@Nathan Pitman (Nine Four) That’s where a bit of the idea comes from. The back-end support is completely different though.
@vinnyio down the road. Let us know if you have any particular problems or ideas for that.
@colinbird+wuwongy only weblogs not used for “static” content can be used as a listing weblog. Also, if it’s alreayd being used as a listing weblog it can NOT be reused for another.
