Hi Brian and the vBa Team,

May I ask for a small feature to be included with the next release of CMPS, or a modification I can apply now, if possible?

I have duplicated my 'Navigation' module, in order to create dynamic page links, per a previous suggestion of yours. I am basically excluding the navigation module pages from the module copy and vice versa. If you want to see what I mean, you can visit www.tvshoppingworld.com/index.php?page=articles (http://www.tvshoppingworld.com/index.php?page=articles) - the 'Articles' module is the copy.

This all works really well, except every time I add a new page, I have to go through every single other page and adjust the exclusions. This is really becoming heavy work, as I already am up to around 30 pages. In my scenario, the 'default' settings are not applicable to every page, so I cannot use them.

Is it possible to add a field to the 'Add Page' options which allows the new page to be highlighted (or excluded) in every other page. Maybe a radio button.."Exclude this page from all other pages: YES NO", for example.

Also, can the name of the new page name be included real-time in the exclusion boxes, prior to saving? At the moment, I have to save the new page, then re-open it, to select it from my exclusion boxes.

Basically, I am hoping that this kind of functionality can be added, so I can easily add pages without having to close the site and without having to edit every other page.

I look forward to your thoughts and suggestions.

Many thanks,

Rob.

Hi again Brian and the team,

I recently decided to revert back to just one navigation module (just making things a little easier) but I would like to once again request that a radio button be included in the 'Add Page' options, which allows new pages to be excluded from the navigation of all others...something similar to the 'Update All Pages' function in the 'Add Module' options.

I am creating a large number of pages and I have to go through every one and manually exclude new pages from the navigation module. It's really time consuming and messy if I keep the site live (until I have updated every page).

Can you give some idea if it is possible to include this in the next release? I can't imagine it's a major headache to do and I am sure there are many in the same boat as me.

Sincere thanks as always,

Rob.
