[solved] Multiple category news

Post by road2cms »

For a couple of day I'm trying to structure my website something like this:
[see the attached photo]

My website will contain articles on different subjects (categories), not necessarily news, but from what I've read on the forum it can be done with {news} only.

So, what I want is:
-when I click a link in the menu to send me to a preview (summary) page of all the articles in that category
-and when I click the title of the article (or the read more text) to send me to the detailed page

Help, please!

First you make your menu so you have different pages for different categories. Then you add to each of those pages template the {news}-tag with an option category=(insert category), like: {news category="sports"} etc. And that's about it, that lists your news summaries on the right page and puts a link there for the detail page (which you can also define to be something else than the summary page template, of course)... Questions? :)
