News Headlines Only

Hi there.

Thanks for posting!

When you are setting up what to display on your pages you end up having complete control. Basically, CMS Builder will generate the code for a page that displays all your fields for each record and then list all the records one after another. If you only need a couple fields, you only copy a few of the fields out of the generated code.

What you'll actually want to do though is start with an HTML mockup of the page you are trying to setup. Just do the whole thing by hand to start so you know exactly what you need and where you need it.

Once you get that going, post me a copy of it or a link to it and I can walk you through the CMS Builder parts from there.

At this stage, you don't need to worry about CMS Builder or PHP or anything like that.

Keep me up to date :).

Ross, I apprecaite the reply but I think I have figured out the best way to complete part of my required task. I do not have it visible on the web yet but the section editor will have a title (the headline) a summary, and the full content. I will generate the code that will display the headline and summary but I was trying to figure out a way to auto create a "read more" link that will popup or go to the selected story in all of it glory. I guess I will have to do what I want then get you to help me from there if possible.

Hi there.

From what I am reading, it really sounds like what you are trying to setup here is exactly what CMS Builder does :).

When you generate the code for your section, there will be a field that you can use for the link to your full page. It will look something like this:

<a href="<?php echo $record['_link']; ?>Read More</a>

It sounds like you are on the right track though so keep at it and let me know if you need a hand with anything along the way :).
