---------------------------------
Summary: Page action with Admin management panel
Key: ROL-2050
URL: https://issues.apache.org/jira/browse/ROL-2050
Project: Apache Roller
Issue Type: New Feature
Components: User Interface - Weblog Editor
Affects Versions: 5.0.4
Environment: Tomcat 7.055 - Ubuntu
Reporter: Tamas Balazs
Assignee: Roller Unassigned
Priority: Minor
Fix For: 5.1.1
Hi,
I am trying to add multiple "pages" to a weblog. the reason of adding "pages"
instead of entries is simple - the content of these are not articles but
dynamically loading JS-like frontend applications. The reasons I cannot add
them into "entries" are simple - if these pages show up the applications start
loading in immediately, which would cause a bit of a mayhem with all of their
music, movies, maps etc. Also I don't want to limit the number of entries to be
shown just for the sake of these. Unfortunately I cannot make these
applications to run after user initiated JS input (ie. I cannot create "Click
here to start" button as the third party app will just not work with them).
Cut the long story short, I would like to add "Pages" to the blog. Currently
the only way I can do is (as far as I know) is that I add custom templates for
each individual pages. This is fine(ish) for now as I have only 10-12 pages,
but this number is likely to go up in the future.
Obviously there is always a workaround to that but to be honest every major
blog-management system has this "page" feature and I would be grateful to see
this coming in the forthcoming release. I guess in layman's terms what I would
be happy to see is an option under the "Create&Edit" section for "Page", which
then can create the feature in accordance with its template action. Regarding
creating their index I don't think the first release of this improvement need
to go too far on that - if there is a Velocity macro/script doing some basic
page url/name listings that will be sufficient.
On the other hand there might be a similar solution somewhere in the Roller
docs and I have just couldn't find it so far - in this case please let me know
what I am doing wrong.
Thanks
