Text slider

[visualcookie]

Hi guys,

I used the search but didn't find any topic that talks about these things. I've a text slider (quotes) and want them to be edited in the backend. Is this possible and how would I do this?

Hope to find some answers.

1) Options you could setup a reapterfield

2) Use the PageTable field type

- create a page template for your quotes that only output the quote

- you could use the quote pages as children where you need them - or if you have them in several places you could create a special hidden page and get them via API or in Content via HannaCode

common way for quotes is:

1.) Make quote template, add necessary fields (body, author, link etc.)

2.) make quote-index template (children allowed = quote)

3.) set quote template for parents allowed = quote-index

4.) in a hidden part of your tree (e.g. /settings/quotes/) add new page using quote-index template

5.) add quote pages as children of the quote-index

6.) change quote-index template to disallow new pages to be created

7.) to output your quotes, (replace nnnn with the id of your quote index)

<?php

$quotes = $pages->get(nnnn)->children;
//or
$quotes = $pages->find("template=quote");

foreach($quotes as $quote) {

    // output your quote markup here,
    // e.g. echo $quote->body;

}
