Here's a site I just started with a few buddies of mine, using WebsiteBaker and a very lightly modified version of the Box template:

http://www.hockeyfansunite.com

The site was set up within a day.  Graphics and misc. layout features will be ironed out over the next couple of weeks, so feel free to make suggestions.

Thanks again to developers and contributors to WB, you are the reason it is so easy to get up and running with an idea.  You rock!

I like that design! Have you thought about using the show_menu2 function for the sitemap? I have it running here "http://www.fischertechnik-sammler.de/pages/seitenuebersicht.php" ... it does gove some more information about the pages, since it takes some of the metadata as well ...

cheers

re: sitemap: good suggestion, is it only a matter of installing the showmenu2 add-on or do I have to tweak the code a bit?  Thanks!

Hello,

you also have additional display options with the standard sitemap modul. Look at the helpfile from this modul to get mor informations about the varaibles you can use.

If you use show_menu2 you have to adapt the menucall. Never used this for the sitemap, but i think you have to make a codepage (instead of a page with the sitemap modul) and add the show_menu2 call. For more information look here:

just put the code for the sitemap in a codepage. Put the options like in the site Matthias posted and you are done ...

The code I used:

Code: [Select]

show_menu2(SM2_ALLMENU, SM2_ROOT, SM2_ALL, SM2_ALL|SM2_ALLINFO, '[li]<span class="content">[a][page_title]</a> (Menü: [a][menu_title]</a>)<br /><i>[description]</i><br /></span><br />', false, '<ul class="sitemap [class]">');

I tried creating a code page and pasting in the code you put in as well as the example on the author's site, this is what it looks like (note: this page is hidden on the public side):

http://www.hockeyfansunite.com/pages/test-page.php

Am I missing something?  Do I need to change something in the site's template?

Thanks for all your help, guys, much appreciated!

EDIT: one thing I noticed is that the background color chops off at the bottom of the page, I'm guessing this is a CSS function, would someone point me what I need to change?  I am using the Box template.

See, the thing is, if you just "hide" it, it should show, but I am getting "no permission", so you didn't hide it but made it private or registered ... set this page to display hidden or none should do the trick of making it available to view (if you know where the page is).

The "chop of" seems to appear due to the permission error ...

cheers

Oops, the page was hidden but I deleted it by mistake while doing some clean up chores on the site.  It's back on now. URL is: http://www.hockeyfansunite.com/pages/test-page.php

As for your comment about permissions: I'm not sure how this relates to how the background color appears (e.g. what appears on the left-hand and right-hand sides), I have full control over the site as it is hosted on a commercial provider, I haven't changed anything over the default WB install permissions.

I actually thought you where refering to the footer since the GFX issue was not visible.

The GFX Issue comes automatically due to the fact, that the template uses a fixed background image. If you put the underlying colour to the same of the last row of the image, it will not be visible anymore.

The display of the show_menu2 output follows the same rules that are set for the normal menu. So, if you "wrap" the output into a DIV (echo it above and below the show_menu2 call) you can influence the style of the output via CSS ... the techniques to use are very well explained in the selectutorial of css.maxdesign.com.a u ... ready made lists can be used from their listamatic pages.

cheers
