Is it possible to have a select in admin which lets editors pick one of their si...
Hi,
I would like to let my end users/editors select one of their site pages when editing a region.
For example: on the home page of the site there is space to highlight three featured pages. I would like them to be able to have:
- Text field for heading
- Textarea field for quick intro text
- Some way of letting them select which page this relates to so I can output a 'Read more' link (I guess this could be a select box).
The first two fields are obviously ok, but I'm a bit stumped by the third. I've looked at dataselect content type, but that seems to just be for the regions on other pages.
Am I going to need to create a custom field type for this, or does anyone have any ideas?
Thanks, Paul.
Update:
Hmmm. Just seen relationships in runway: https://docs.grabaperch.com/runway/relationships/ That looks to be what I want. If no one has any experience of doing this in standard Perch then I guess an upgrade might be in my future.
(Side question: what am I supposed to call Perch now? Standard seems a bit disrespectful!)
Hi Paul,
You could use the 'Pagelist' fieldtype to select and link to the desired page: https://grabaperch.com/add-ons/field-types/pagelist
I think Perch is Perch and Runway is Runway. :)
Yes, I think pagelist should do it.
Yep, perfect. I looked everywhere expect the first-party add-ons. Consider my wrists slapped! Thanks for pointing is out, Simon.
Of course, upgrading to Perch Runway is still an awesome idea!
Yes, still might do that but haven't given Runway a go yet in anger, so I wanted to try it with a brand-new project first. It's permanently on my "when I have a free moment" list (along with so many other things ;) )
