Something I've always felt limited by with Content Management Systems - Joomla included, is having to create navigation through menu systems... you know, sometime a 'page' is something more than just a bunch of media about one topic - often i find myself wanting to add some depth to content pages with additional navigation that's embedded into the content. A little while back I discovered a nifty extension called Tabs and Slides (from the goodfellows over @ Joomla Works) - its a plugin which affords you this groovy functionality and lets you style the embedded links with CSS, which is always smart. :) Check out what it does:
first linkthe first chunk of stuff
second linknotice you can call the tabs/menu links whatever you want!
third and final linknice eh? :)
Lovely stuff eh? Note: this plugin also lets you keep your SEO a little tidier as crawlers like Google will see all the content on this page; so you don't have to worry about people hitting up your site and arriving at a non-primary page and then having to back-track through conventional navigation.... Also, with this method you can also introduce menus - adding copy above the menu itself like 'choose a type of chicken from the selections below.' |
