IP.Pages Combine Results?

[John 3:16]

Is it possible to combine results for a page in Pages like this, in the Content field.  I am having trouble and want to combine results without having Categories.

{database="1" title="database1"}
{database="2" title="database2"}

Only if you use blocks to output the content of the different databases.

That is what I have come up against Ralf, thanks for verifying.  Something so simple in other CMSs to do is such a major challenge in IP.Pages.

It has to be this way because the database is tied directly to the page it is used on. For example, I can directly link to the first record of the IPS documentation without knowing the actual title and URL based on that title:

http://community.invisionpower.com/4docs/-r1

How should that work, if the page “4docs” holds several databases?

 

And out of curiosity: which other CMS has such a database functionality and lets you put several databases on one page?

Drupal does. There's different entity types but entities have bundles (different than categories, more like databases when it comes to nodes which is the main Drupal content type). With the Views module you can combine as many or as few bundles on a page, complete with what template type or fields you'd like. You can override the view on several different levels. Views is one of the things I'll miss after converting.

ExpressionEngine (extremely simple), Wordpress with some slight tweaks (not that WP is really a CMS)

This can be kinda of done in IP.Pages but the breadcrumbs and the link back at the bottom are not direct back to the list but to the category that the record is apart of, I need it to link directly back to the main list with no chance of a member being able to reach the other category page the record is apart of.  Plus the look of the main listing page is wonky and needs a lot of customization to get it to look like the categoryRow template, which I need help with.

Looks like this

but need it to have the same format of this.

Here is the screenshot of how to make it almost do what I need, but it involves the use of categories and combining them together in a List, it adheres to the permissions of each category but again the breadcrumbs link back to the individual categories.

​Why is that necessary or useful in your case?
Using categories but still somehow hide them from the user will obviously not be easy. 

[John 3:16]

It useful because my forum is setup for Plans using Nexus.  Each plan includes X items, some overlap, that is why I want to only show the complete list depending on their group.

[opentype]

Can’t you use a “plan field” instead of categories? Then “plan” would be filter option showing only the records that belong to that field. 

[John 3:16]

That is a decent idea for sure but I don't want those in Plan A to see the filter option for Plan B, just wanted to be simple and seamless.

I tried that field thing and was a bust, I am trying to put together a plugin to do this but have no idea what class to extend, it's the last piece of the puzzle for me and it's a long road.
