Sub-pages in FC? was created by lipatovroman

Hi!
Is it possible to create summary pages for downloads?

For example - we have item with main information.

Then user press n button "Download"

And FC opens sub-page with links.

That is, the page has another sub-page.
Thanks.

... not with simple configuration ...
to achieve this create 2 templates, displaying same item
1 template with display field and add code for second template
1 template with your file field only

Like the our support? (for a bug-free FC, despite being huge extension) Like the features? Like the ongoing development and future commitment to FLEXIcontent?

Thanks Micker.
If I correct understand this method, I should create 2 templates for 1 item.
So, how to create link from 1-st template to 2-nd template?

Hello

It should be easy if you use 2 templates,
- because you display the same item in different ways
using multiple templates that use different HTML and different fields

Lets say you item type is called "Download" (or "Article" or "Car")
- and for "Download" type (in the backend TYPE configuration form) you have selected template:

"download_tmpl" template

if you want to show current item in a different way
then

1. you can create 1 more template in the backend template manager:
"download_tmpl_basic" template

2. Edit "ITEM LAYOUT" of the new template,
and only add some fields, e.g. only add file field in the

3. Edit file item(_html5).php of your normal template "download_tmpl" in backend template manager
- and click copy default code button to get the default PHP code

4. Find the place that you want to link to the other view:

Code:

$url =  "//{$_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']}{$_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']}";
$url =  $url . (strstr($url, '?') ? '&amp;' : '?') . 'ilayout=download_tmpl_basic';
$escaped_url = htmlspecialchars( $url, ENT_QUOTES, 'UTF-8' );
echo '<a href="' . $escaped_url . '">' . $item->titme. '</a>';

NOTICE that we added to the URL so that you link to the display of the item with the new template:
?ilayout=download_tmpl_basic
or
&ilayout=download_tmpl_basic
