"If I could build DNN sites on only Scott's modules, believe me I would.  When you make a decision to invest in modules, don't kid yourself, you are in business with the module developer. Scott is a man that you can trust with a handshake and his modules are second to none."

  Child Links Walkthrough  

Child Links is a very simple, but very useful module. It shows the pages nested underneath the current page.

The screenshot below shows the child links page when added to a page. The display is the default look, this however is customizable.

 

If you are logged in with an account that has edit access over the current module, you can customize the look. Use the context menu and select “View Options”.

View options allow you to specify a header, body, and the footer. The body represents each item as it is rendered on to the screen. It also has special replacement tags so you can customize it anyway you want.

For example, if you want a bulleted list, you would use something like:-

 

Header:

<ul>

 

Body:

            <li><a href=”[LINK]”>[NAME]</a></li>

 

Footer:

</ul>

So as you can see this module is simple, but powerful. Checking the “Display on all tabs” option in “Module Settings” allows you to display it on every page, effectively altering your site’s navigation system very easily!

 

If you have any more ideas about expanding the module, please post them in the forum here.
