Grabbing a page from WordPress
Posted: Sat Dec 13, 2008 9:41 am
Has anyone used WordPress, hidden a page from the menus at the top, and then reimplemented it as like a Sidebar gadget? That way, a reverend at a church, for instance, can just click Manage Pages, grab Sidebar, edit it, and the Sidebar gadget is implemented with new text.
Here's why I ask. I'm running it down to the wire here, working on one very hard project (that has nothing to do with WordPress). However, at the same time, I needed to get some tax write-offs before Dec 31. I'm trying to do very minimal effort here with WordPress to donate some sites to churches. My wife is then jumping in to flesh the rest of the site out. We'll then fork this site like 3 times, change the look a little, and poof, 3 churches done and 3 tax write-offs.
So far we eliminated features in WordPress that the pastors could mess up accidentally, leaving only Pages, Manage Pages, a plugin called PageMash (which we renamed to Page Order), and Media Library. What I was hoping was that I could add some pages that don't show up and are instead re-implemented as content on various pages.
And if the pastor eliminated Sidebar by accident, all he would have to do is create another page titled Sidebar again, put content in, and poof, Sidebar would re-appear again because the code would look for the page named Sidebar.
