Hello,

 

Does anyone know if it's possible in DNN to generate a page with a list links to other pages assigned a given category?

 

Being more specific, I'd like to create a page containing a dropdown listing the categories of the site. When a category is selected from the dropdown, the page should refresh and display a list of links to all the pages which have been assigned that category. 

 

Ideally, the url of the generated page would contain a parameter of value 'category'. 

 

This idea comes from a potential client who finds this a great way to communicate a list of articles to his clients.

 

Best Regards,

 

Steve

Hi Steve,

I usually say that when it comes down to coding, very few things CANNOT be done :)

You could develop all of that as a module. If you were looking for a ready made solution, I don't see one. 

Now from a coding perspective it is a matter of understanding how to use the DNN APIs or querying the DNN db to get the pages by category.

Unfortunately I don't have a sample code to share with you but I would take this as a custom module project.

Sorry that I cannot be more useful here.

Best regards,

Aderson

Hi Aderson,

Thank you for your reply and sorry about the erroneous text at the end of my post.

Yes OK i guess it's a bit of module development in that case, doesn't seem to tricky on the face of it. Could be done as a SPA.

Best Regards,

Steve

 

PS I checked the end of the message this time :-)

Hi Steve,

I'm sure it can be done with a SPA module/approach. However I would have to differ that to Scott in case you ask about that as I have not touched SPA dev so far.

Cheers,

Aderson

Hi Aderson,

I've already developed a SPA, but uses JQuery, JSON and Web services. Needs updating to use AngularJS but works a treat :-)
