Frog CMS

Hi Thomas --

There may be other ways (maybe search the forum for "navigation"?), but you can see one solution in the sidebar to my CSS Play page, under "Navigation". It works to three levels, IF you are NOT using ".html" terminations. You can get the code for it from this forum post.

Let us know how you get on!

you should check your layout, on how you display the sidebar ... if it is inherited or not $this->content('sidebar', true); <- the true there mean inherit, so if you do not have a sidebar part it will check for the parent page to get is sidebar part !! like that you can make a general one to be sure to always have one :)

hope that help

This is odd, Thomas! If "Layout" you are using for the page ("Normal"?) has this code....

<div id="sidebar">
    <?php echo $this->content('sidebar', true); ?> 
</div> <!-- end #sidebar -->

...or something like it, then the sidebar cannot hide! :) Can you check your Layout? (When you are editing a page, the "Layout" drop-down is just above the "Save" button.)

I also just noticed that the Archive by Month also does not show up in that first link. I'm not sure what would stop it. The code in the sidebar has changed, I attempted to see if that was a problem, but it's not. The new scripts is:

<h3>Share</h3>
<ul>
<li>
<!-- AddThis Button BEGIN -->
<script type="text/javascript">
addthis_pub  = 'mtylerb';
addthis_brand = 'Tyler's Site';
addthis_options = 'delicious, digg, email, favorites, facebook, fark, google, live, myweb, 
myspace, newsvine, reddit, slashdot, stumbleupon, technorati, twitter, more'
</script>
<a href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php" onmouseover="return addthis_open(this, '', 
'[URL]', '[TITLE]')" onmouseout="addthis_close()" onclick="return addthis_sendto()">Share 
This Article</a><script type="text/javascript" 
src="http://s7.addthis.com/js/152/addthis_widget.js"></script>
<!-- AddThis Button END -->
</li>
</ul>

Any ideas?

I have worked around this issue by putting the links in the layout of my theme. I made a simple if statement to test and see if there was "extended" content. If there was, then it puts the links under the sidebar section. :-) I would still like to know why the original didn't work. It now has to look like:

    <?php if ($this->hasContent('extended')) { ?>
    <h3>Share This Article</h3>
    <ul>
        <li>
        <!-- AddThis Button BEGIN -->
        <a href="http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php" onclick="
addthis_url   = location.href; addthis_title = document.title; return addthis_click(this);" 
class="external_link"><img src="http://s9.addthis.com/button1-share.gif" style="width:125;height:16;
border:0;" alt="Bookmark and Share" /></a> <script type="text/javascript">var 
addthis_pub = 'mtylerb';addthis_brand = 'Tyler's Site';</script><script type="text/javascript" 
src="http://s9.addthis.com/js/widget.php?v=10"></script>  
        <!-- AddThis Button END -->
        </li>
        <li>
        <script>function fbs_click() {u=location.href;t=document.title;window.open
('http://www.facebook.com/sharer.php?u='+encodeURIComponent(u)+'&
t='+encodeURIComponent(t),'sharer','toolbar=0,status=0,width=626,height=436');
return false;}</script><style> html .fb_share_link 
{ padding:2px 0 0 20px; height:16px; width:125px;}</style>
<a href="http://www.facebook.com/share.php?u=<?php echo $this->url();?>" 
onclick="return fbs_click()" target="_blank" class="fb_share_link"><img 
src="http://static.ak.fbcdn.net/images/share/facebook_share_icon.gif?0:26981" 
style="border:0px;" /><font style="color:#4444FF;">Share on Facebook</font></a>
        </li>
        <li>
        <a href="http://www.stumbleupon.com/submit?url=<?php echo $this->url();?>"> 
<img style="border:0px;" 
src="http://cdn.stumble-upon.com/images/120x20_thumb_gray.gif" alt=""></a>
        </li>
        <li>
        <script type="text/javascript">
        digg_skin = 'compact';
        digg_bgcolor = '#f7f7f2';
        digg_url = '<?php echo $this->url();?>';
        digg_window = 'new';
        </script>
        <script src="http://digg.com/tools/diggthis.js" type="text/javascript"></script> 
        </a>
        </li>
    </ul>
<?php }; ?>

Anyway, at least it works.
