Combining content

posts: 11

Is there an easy way to be able to combine some basic static content, like a welcome paragraph or two, with the blogs or articles, or forums list on the home page of tiki? i.e., can i put something together like...

<p> Welcome to .....</p>
<p> We're glad you came... </p>

missing page for plugin INCLUDE


or similar, and make it the home page for tiki? I tried something similar and the blogs header list came up but the blog list itself was empty. I know there are blogs because they come up when normally listed.

Thanks in advance,
Alan

Hiya

You would also need to combine the PHP files that query and pass the data to the tpl file for display.

Probably the easier method is to use and possibily create some new wikiplugins similar to the articles one which you can see on http://www.damosoft.co.uk Here you are looking at a wiki page with some text then: {ARTICLES(topic=>News,max=>3)}{ARTICLES} to display the articles and again more text underneath.

This link shows an interesting idea using the SPLIT plugin and 3 sets of ARTICLES plugin, a News topic used in the header, then Left and Right topics in the middle.

Forums and Blogs could be easily done in the same way, just by creating a new wiki-plugin.
