[opencms-dev] templateone navigation

[Erik Lyons]

Hi Jeremy, I spoke too soon. I was able to change configuration_common
to get the demopages to behave *exactly* as I wanted, but when I copied
that _configuration/ and its contents to /sites/default/ and set
style_main_configpath it still did not change the behaviour of the pages
there. Could there be some other setting that needs to change? Or is
there something I need to do to make this change take effect?

e.l.

I got stuck on this when I first started exploring templateone.  I
recommend installing the templateone demopages and copying the
_configuration directory (copy all siblings as new files) from the
demopages directory to your site top level.  You must also set the
style_main_configpath property to point to your _configuration
directory
for any resource that uses the template - I just set this property on
the
/sites/mysite/ directory so it is inherited by all files in the site.

I am running multiple sites, and I had to use the site-relative
absolute
path instead of the absolute path relative to the VFS.

Finally, I think the configuration_common file in _configuration
allows
you to set the left navigation to follow the current page, as you
want.

Hope this helps.
