infinite hierarchy webpages

Hi All,
I am putting together a small CMS system and i need to use an infinite
hierarchy for users to add unlimited pages, sub pages etc.

I am really struggling to get the ASP to work.
I have a single table for the pages 'tblsitepages' with a auto pk
'fldpageid', fldparentid, fldhierarchy, fldpagename

the parentid starts at -1 for top level pages and would increment
2,3,4 etc for any subpages that have childpages
fldhierarchy contains 0000.0000 and would increment depending on its
parent.

eg.

page1 would be - fldpageid1 fldparentid -1
subpage1 - fldpageid4 fldparentid1 fldhierarchy 00001.00001
subpage2 - fldpageid5 fldparentid1 fldhierarchy 00001.00002
subsubpage1 - fldpageid6 fldparentid4 fldhierarchy
00001.00021
subsubpage2 - fldpageid7 fldparentid4 fldhierarchy
00001.00022


page2 would be - fldpageid2 fldparentid -1
page3 would be - fldpageid3 fldparentid -1


I hope this is making sense! I have the database built but I am
struggling with the ASP

Please can anyone help?

Thanks!

Sorry, I can do about anything in ASP, but I am not quite getting what
you are wanting done. You have a database that is holding a bunch of
users pages, and each user can have any number pf pages. What from
there?

Re: infinite hierarchy webpages

Not really.

Nothing to do with users specifically. Just trying to achieve a system
where infinite pages/sub pages can be added by using one pages table.
I tried to build a ASP version of the PHP 'cms made simple' but i
cannot get it to work :-(

Thanks

" i cannot get it to work :-( "

people can't help you with vague statements like the above . they can only help, if you post a specific problem, preferably with
example code showing where the error occurs and a copy of the error message.

Apologies. I have built the database for my CMS with a sitepages table
that includes the the fields:

'fldpageid', fldparentid, fldhierarchy, fldpagename

My idea is to allow a site administrator to add infinite pages and sub
pages to the site.
My thinking was that if a page is added, (and i'll use the field names
above in order), that i could add any sub page to any page even the
page i was using as a parent page was itself a sub page. eg -

pageid="1", fldparentid="-1", fldhierarchy"", fldpagename"page1"

> pageid="2", fldparentid="1", fldhierarchy"1", fldpagename"subpage1"

>> pageid="3", fldparentid="2", fldhierarchy"2", fldpagename"subsubpage1"

> pageid="4", fldparentid="1", fldhierarchy"2", fldpagename"subpage2"

pageid="5", fldparentid="-1", fldhierarchy"", fldpagename"page2"


I am unsure if my method will work and need to know what ASP to write
in order to display the navigation correctly on page

Re: infinite hierarchy webpages

looks like you are trying to create a breadcrumbs navigation display.

google this for ASP code examples :

asp -.net breadcrumbs
