Drop down menu, and password protection for pages

Permalink
Hi All,

I have started a bit of work on this site: http://keeshond.server299.com/

Still a lot of pages to add, I was just adding a small amount of content to get a feel of everything, as I'm new to C5.

I have two questions:

The first is that I would like to have a drop-down menu and am not sure which one is the easiest to use with the template I am using? (I cant recall the name of it right now).

Or, if a drop down menu will not work, what is the best and simplest way to show sub-pages of the current page the viewer is viewing?

Second, the client would like to have a members-only section, where the member could sign in and see non-public pages, and also have the ability to add photos. They wanted something where the member could register themselves, I'm not sure this is possible, as I need to restrict them to certain pages. I am completely confused as to the best way to accomplish this. Keep in mind I am new and confused. :)

Thank you so much in advance for any help!

Carrie

Since this is your oldest post I'll answer it here.

For the dropdown I can suggest the superfish menu add-on by the core team. It's $15 but may be worth it in time you would otherwise spend on development.

When it comes to registration, you need to turn on public registration from the dashboard (http://keeshond.server299.com//dashboard/system/registration/public... ). Once you have turned on public registration you can easily create pages for registered users only by setting permissions on pages from the sitemap or from the page itself.

Edit: If you want to create your own menu you should read this How-To: http://www.concrete5.org/documentation/how-tos/developers/adding-a-...

Oops - one more question. For the members only pages that I will be creating for this site, do they all need to be in a separate directory?

Thank you!

The members pages can be anywhere since you can set permissions on individual pages.
