Auto Insert URLS in Templates
I a have a template that uses a select menu to choose a URL for a button in a region. Looks like this:
<a href="<perch:content id="usp-link" type="select" options="* Please Select URL|,Brochures|brochures,Contact Us|/contact" allowempty="false" required="true" label="Page Link" />">
Is there any way to draw the URL list from the pages that exist in Perch? And any way to auto capitalise the name shown in the list like "Brochures|brochures.php"?
And if I am only using Perch navigation for certain pages in the site that use master templates to create pages from inside Perch is there a way to combine hard coded urls in this list with ones created by Perch?
I'm not really sure what you mean, but could the
pagelistfield type be a solution?Okay I have a template that has a button to click to take you to a page. In the template I used the above code to create a select menu in admin to choose the url. Presently I have to hard code the page urls in. If I have some dynamically created pages done through Perch using a master template how would I get these in this select menu?
It does sound like the
pagelistfield type. Did you have a look at it?Can you point me to docs on this as could not find it?
Hi Nigel,
I believe my issue is similar to yours. I'm attempting to add a "Read More" link to featured items on my home page. This would then take the user to the full post from another section of the site using a perch template.
Let me know if you find a solution.
This is the section I'm browsing at the moment: https://docs.grabaperch.com/docs/templates/attributes/type/
Best, Tommy
Haven't gotten it working for myself yet but this may help: https://docs.grabaperch.com/docs/templates/attributes/type/dataselect/
Still working on it over here. @Drew, just wanted to bring to your attention that the docs need a minor update on this page: https://docs.grabaperch.com/docs/templates/attributes/type/dataselect/
In the example, hidden="true" should be changed to suppress="true"
Let me know if either of you find a solution. I'll keep you posted as well.
Still need to know where to find docs on the page list function Drew mentioned please.
Also with the previous forum you could subscribe to a topic so you got emailed when a post was answered but I cannot see if this is possible in the new forum, please advise?
There isn't anything more to it than is listed on the download page.

As mentioned in the thread about the new forum this is something we are going to add.
Ah I see its an add-on, did not know that which is why I could not find it! I thought it was a field type.
And thanks for clearing up about forum thread subscription.
