Invision Community 4: SEO, prepare for v5 and dormant account notifications Matt November 11, 2024Nov 11
Posted March 27, 20196 yr It would be really great if you could use a Database Category menu on the sidebar .... Would be a great way for people to discover things. Is there anything like that in the Marketplace anyone has come across?
March 27, 20196 yr Community Expert Not sure I understand the question. You can put the Database Category widget in the sidebar. But you want to put it somewhere else, like the forums for example?
March 27, 20196 yr I suspect he means "on any other sidebar and not only the page which features the database itself".
March 27, 20196 yr Community Expert It sounds somewhat confusing. After all, it is a submenu, not a content discovery tool. And it’s a global feature, which also appears as submenu in other areas, e.g. here: https://invisioncommunity.com/files/
April 18, 20196 yr Author I can't see why you wouldn't want a block on the forum sidebar with a menu that took you to the Articles by category.
August 21, 20195 yr Did you ever resolve this as it is exactly what I need as well. I have so many sections that I have grouped some of them together so my main menu item for say "Resources" goes to a Resources page which is the landing page (home page) for 4 different sub sections of my site - for example the Files section, a Tools and Calculators database, a Tutorial database and another database. On my Resources landing page I also have widgets showing the last few entries of each of the different 4 sections to show a taste of each of them. So it would be good to have a category menu block in the right column for each of these database sections and 1 for the Files section as a type of menu for the user to go straight to a category. Each of the 4 sections do come up as a sub menu of the landing page as well
