Hi there,

I have installed Silvercart into an exiting Sivlerstripe install, but my existing pages ie About Us, contact Us - are nowhere to be found.

Only the home page is displayed.

Why would silvercart hide my existing content pages? And how do I get them to show in a menu on the front page?

I eagerly look forward to hearing from you.

Hi,

by default SilverCart shows content pages as children of the SilvercartMetaNavigationHolder (page under the SilverCart tree root in SiteTree, can be edited in CMS).

This behaviour is defined by SilverCart's default page template (/silvercart/templates/Page.ss). You can copy this template into your projects template path (e.g. /mysite/templates/) and modify the navigation behaviour for your needs. The main navigation can be found in /silvercart/templates/Includes/SilvercartNavigation.ss, the meta navigation on the bottom of /silvercart/templates/Page.ss.

Cheers,
Sebastian

Thanks for pointing me in the right direction. But I still find it terribly confusing.

Why doesn't Silvercart just allow us to show our existing pages right from install instead of us having to edit the templating. That would be a better solution.

So now I have to edit the templates, what do I remove or add to get my normal pages to show?

Do I remove the children controls?
