They even just closed the ticket…

Thanks.

I am starting to think though if this is relly the best approach. Might it not be better to use e.g. the plugin “Custom Field Types” and add a few more “content area boxes” with TinyMCE to the page? Like that I can have the main content and also boxes for other content boxes on a pag which can not be represented by widget areas.

How many featured content areas does a site normally have, anyways?

Anyone?

Ok, any my assigning a specific category too each post, e.g. “Product 1 – Features” or “Product 1 – Videos” I can later get the posts in that category and display them in my template?

Is that right?

THX!!! That helped.

one more question: why is the page hierarchy not kept? You always get a flat list and not the page-child relations…

any ideas?

But what if each page can have different “featured” content? E.g. on each product page it is different?

I am interested in that, too.

How can you get rid of old values?

Thanks.

What I discovered in the code is that it seems like some content, especially content displayed in columns above actual page content, seems to by post. The HTML code gives some hints on that.

So I wonder how they do it? Do they use “normal posts”, maybe a custom post type “Page Element”, and then assign it to the page? How, by using custom fields maybe? And then on the page in the template there is a query getting all posts assigned to the current page.

This could work, but it is not very nice. The content is detached from the page and maintained at another place. Not very user friendly.

And how would you “assign” a post/”page content element” to the page? Only by knowing the page ID or slug? Or is there another way?

Is there any “real” manual for this? Where can you look up things like that?

Actually I am a developer, more for Java and ActionScript, though.

Buying the theme could be an option, bu I need to change a few things. I just would like to understand how the concept works as I need to tweak it a little bit to fit my needs.

Can you give me some guidance., please?

How would you use that feature? What changes in the interface if you enable “hierarchical”?
