My Website Uses WonderCMS

[IMRandell]

I'm totally loving wonderCMS what a great flatfile CMS. I have tried many in the past and for a number of reasons they have never quite been what i was after. It wasn't untill this week i finally gave wonderCMS a go and now im kicking myself i never tried it sooner.

It does everything and it looks beautiful too.

I'm a newbie at coding been doing it to fix stuff on my sites for years but i'm not really talented at it.
Hopefully i can contribute something to this community some day other than appreciation and admiration.

Thank you everyone involved in created this wonderful flatfile CMS.

Side note: Im running WonderCMS on ecoincoop.com it's a crypto currency blog, and advertising service.

Thank you everyone. Your work is very much appreciated.

Hi thanks Wiz cheers for the welcome.

If your after feedback id be happy to help.

One main thing i noticed i couldn't do was make a menu link a URL to another site.

for example it only lets me make a page eg.. /contact
It would be nice if i could make a menu item like

Forum = someforum.com

right now id have to make a plugin and then probably do something tricky to make it happen or am i missing something.

I tried adding a link via the theme.php

but doesn't show like others



I'm be sure to post more suggestions as i have them.

Meanwhile I'm delving into the code. i think it's such an awesome CMS.

Feel like a bit of an idiot. but i got it to work.

Here's how I added menu links can't believe i overcomplicated it so much lol.
is their a better way to do this? or is this the best way?

Edited: themes/essence/theme.php

Code: Select all

 <div class="collapse navbar-collapse" id="menu-collapse">
	<ul class="nav navbar-nav navbar-right ml-auto">
	<?= $Wcms->menu() ?> 
	<!--Add menu Links To Other Sites below-->
	<li class="nav-item"><a class="nav-link" href="https://topadcoop.com" target="_blank">Forum</a></li>
	<!--Add menu Links To Other Sites above-->
	</ul>
					
</div>

Actually, funny you mention it, that's the exact same trick we use on the wondercms.com homepage
It would definitely be easier to do this with a plugin for a non-techy solution.

We'll see if there's a simple/tiny way we can implement outbound/custom URL within the core.

Thank you for your feedback! If you'd like, you can join us on our Slack channel: https://wondercms.slack.com.

To add to the above, just make sure you make a copy of your modified theme, to avoid any theme updates overriding your changes.
