Multiple pages mod

[davidefa]

In Meteotemplate you can only configure a single ( home ) page.
With this mod you can add as many ( configurable ) pages as you want to your meteotemplate site.
In this way you are not obliged to create a kilometric home page, very long to scroll ( and also very slow to load ), but you can divide it in a few pages.

How does this work?
- simply create an homepage layout ( via the meteotemplate control panel ) and save it with a name ( short name, max 8 chars ), for example 'page2' ( you can create as many as you want ), meteotemplate already does this
- the mod extends the indexDesktop.php scripts ( used to load the home page ) so that you can pass a 'layout' parameter to load one of the layout created in previously ( not only the default one )
- to load the page2 layout, for example, point your browser to ( note the .txt added after the layout name ):

Code: Select all

indexDesktop.php?layout=page2.txt&nonewpage

- the additional parameter '&nonewpage' is an addition to the meteotemplate menù to open the page in the current tab ( default behaviour is open in a new tab, which is annoying in this case )

Installation
Simply unzip the archive in the root directory of the meteotemplate installation ( it will overwrite the files with the same name ). It is compatible with meteotemplate 18.0 and 19.0

Hi @davidefa ,
I installed Multiple pages mod (I find it very useful), I added new tab to the menu and in the "Use this tab as a link, URL:" field I inserted my new home2 https://meteopaparano.altervista.org/te ... &nonewpage which of course is now empty.

However, I can't understand how to set it from the control panel because if I open it, it goes to the control panel of the main home already set... I always get lost in this nonsense!

Thank you
