Various Menus for Artist pages
cheriejd - May 13, 2008 - 17:36
I have a client that runs a record label. They want individual sections for each artist. Within that artist's section there would be multiple pages available. Each artist may have different multiple page types. Each different page in the artist's section would be represented by a tab or link.
example:
artist 1
-main (entry page for artist section)
-lyrics
-my favorite shoes
artist 2
-main (entry page for artist section)
-lyrics
-downloads
-I have a cat
Is there an easy was to implement this through Drupal? The client will be doing the updating themselves and adding new artists.
thank you in advance for your help.
Hi cheriejd, There are lots
Hi cheriejd,
There are lots of ways to handle the output and functionality you need. If the pages under artistx are going to be consistent (main, lyrics, downloads, about me etc) for each artist, I would suggest creating a "content type" for each section. You can add all kinds of form elements to your content types with CCK (http://drupal.org/project/cck) then control the output with Views (http://drupal.org/project/views).
From there you can do the rest with snippets and theme layout changes.
If you need something much simpler you might consider using the Taxonomy module alone or in addition to the above. The taxonomy module will not give so much backend help as it will frontend, to organize your content. Checkout the handbook: http://drupal.org/handbook/modules/taxonomy
You might find Site Recipes helpful as well: http://drupal.org/handbook/site-recipes
Good luck with your project.
