Hi. I would like to be able to create a News section on my website with multiple pages using one section in the CMS Builder. For example, if there are 10 News records available, I would like to display 3 on each page with a next page, prev page link on the bottom of all applicable pages. Is it possible to do this with CMS Builder? Thanks for your time.

Hi Lyn

Thanks for posting!

I found the tutorial I was thinking of for you but it's actually for Article Manager. The same thing will work for CMS Builder though. Have a look here:

Skip to step 2 and where it says "$article.content$" you'll want to use the variable for your content. It will likely look something like $record['content'].

When you click to "show code" link there, you'll find there's another $article.content$ in there as well.

This is going to need you to be comfortable working with PHP but give it a shot and let me know how you make out :).

Hi Ross.

Thanks for responding to my post. I read the article you referred to. A couple of questions.. The article seemed to refer to splitting up the content of one article (or in my case, 1 news record), over multiple pages, whereas I would like to split up the content by entire records. Secondly, I'm not sure where I would make modifications to templates. How do I access these in the CMS package. Thanks for your time.
