NEWS module

[surogat]

I'm not even sure if this is the right place for this question, so
if it isn't I apologize in advance. And i'm not so sure if i can
express my problem clearly in english. Well..
I would like to know if there is possibilty to have content type
similar as a news, so i would be able to put summary's of content
on the "main pages of category's.
There is option "news" in content type dropbox,
but I can't choose it (unsupported).
I don't know how to make it working..

Edit your "main page", add line

{news category="xxxx"}

in position where you want news to be shown.

Modify news CSS to change aspect of that section.

That's all

I was thinking about admin panel,
how to get the option like in the picture, in order
to have common content functioninig like news,
so i could have first page of each section with a
subsection conent summarys.

I'm sorry i don't know how to explain it, so
i'm trying with the picture..

tnx

Then how do you see the contents as summary?
You must hack Menumanager.

Why not use directly News?

I don't see contents as summary.. The example I've show is
just input form for a two content blocks, so it is possible
two have a content dived by {content} and {block1}.
But I would like to have first part as a summary with more
button and the second as a content (just like the news module).
So I was kind of hoping there is content module like that. I do have
a option News in a „Content type“ List Menu but it says that is removed

(NewsError.jpg) although I have {news} smarty in a template..

Hacking Menumodule? Well I don't know php, i can read it and
delete peaces of code i don't need, and "play" with variables,
but even have difficulties with copy pasting others peoples code.
Just satrted to learn PHP and MySql, and i'm very slow ..

I solved the same problem adding an additional content block  (i.e.  {content block=detail} in your default template)
In add/modifiy page (admin panel) you'll find a second content block named detail.

So i use the classic content  as summary and the new block as content
On my pages i put detail content on a inviible   (style it with display:none)  when i don't want to see it.

i hope it can be helpfull

Paulin,
Just a tips: you might want to take a look at the Cataloger module. It supports parent pages with summaries and "read more"-links to the child pages.
