I wonder if it would be usefull to make it possible to add news items to a specified page.
I've done so with my site. When I add a story, I can select the page I want the story to appear on.
It's very simple. I've created a listbox in contrib.php that checks which pages excist (out of T_Pages). I also added an extra field (named: onpage) to 'T_Stories' (mySQL).
When the story is submitted it also writes the selected page in 'onpage'. To display those stories I've added the 'get story data' code to the pages.php file. With an extra 'if' statement like: if (onpage==page).....
It might be interesting.
Please check out: www.enter.nu and visit one of the pages (sorry, it's in dutch).

I am not sure what message you're refering at. Probably the one about adding
an extra feature to select on which page you add a story?
Well there isn't much to tell.
You'll have to figure out to WRITE a 'onpage' variable to the T_Stories
table in your database. And you'll have to add some code that makes it
possible to display it again, if it matches a certain page name.
Concerning your stories you would like to have a 'add', 'edit/preview', and
'submit' modification to fill the 'onpage' field in your T_Stories table.
Also you would like to have the 'get story data' (out of stories.php) added
to the pages.php code in order to display the stories on that particular
page. (use an if statement, or else all the stories appear).
That's pretty much it.
It took me a while to figure out how I could pass the 'onpage' variable from
the preview.php to the modes.php and submitting it into my database. This
would probably be the hardest part of the job.
Kind regards,
Gerard
Please let me know how you're doing.
What is your website URL?
