Child Links is a navigation module for displaying child pages underneath the current page.

The module allows the administrator to provide an automatically generated list of child pages (as links) for the current page. The layout can be customized via tokens and is completely localizable.

Child Links is a very simple, but very useful Add-on. It shows the pages nested underneath the current page.

The screenshot below shows the child links page when added to a page. The display is the default look, this however is customizable.

 

If you are logged in with an account that has edit access over the current module, you can customize the look. Use the context menu and select “View Options”.

View options allow you to specify a header, body, and the footer. The body represents each item as it is rendered on to the screen. It also has special replacement tags so you can customize it anyway you want.

For example, if you want a bulleted list, you would use something like:-

 

Header:

<ul>

 

Body:

            <li><a href=”[LINK]”>[NAME]</a></li>

 

Footer:

</ul>

So as you can see this module is simple, but powerful. Checking the “Display on all tabs” option in “Module Settings” allows you to display it on every page, effectively altering your site’s navigation system very easily!
