OK kill me for being an idiot.
To show my client the progress I am making I posted the dev site up to the server for him to see.
Now sometimes, I get confused as to which I am looking at for front end, and which i am developing. I need to do SCSS on local machine, and keep pinging back and forth.
So what happened is that down on local I changed the function to nice and simple as I described above. But on local I had forgotten to move the full articles under the summary. So that did not work.
Meanwhile up on the server I had moved them, but still had old code working out the link, which is what I was trying to tidy up.
Now have everything back in sync.
Note to self : Stop working on either local or dev, just use one, then sync at the end.

Thank you all for your patience and time. That was my bad. I need to tidy my development process.

Finally got that fixed. I had downloaded and installed "AdminRestrictPageTree" and assigned to "guest" and "manager".
I assumed it would just hide the actual full tree leaving my listerpro lists of pages i want managers to be able to edit.
No idea why guest is in there as they can not access that page anyway.
Instead it rendered everyone unable to login due to a page redirect loop. I guess the issue was my own fault, I did not have a page to redirect them to, as I did not understand it was going to stop them getting to the admin page altogether.
Guess that will teach me to be sure i know what i am doing with contributed modules.
Have removed that module now after editing database to remove restricted roles and once again gaining access to the site admin.
I guess the reason I could no longer get in was due to the guest role being added to restricted users.

Yes exactly right. And I have solved my own problem, but thanks for getting back to me. Just noticed that the Ace Body field that was getting repeated had been incorrectly entered. the anchor tag was not closed, causing it to bleed everywhere.
Closed the tag and now all works as expected. My bad.
But thanks once again for getting back to me.
I hope I can continue to optimize this further, but for now it is nice and easy to drop in sections/columns and everything as and where I want. Lots of re-use.

By the way, i like your use of "row header" and "row content" I will make use of that in my optimization.
