Jacob Hedden Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Afternoon gents,So after browsing the capabilities of my website I came before a module known is "pages" and I was quite baffled at the features it offered. Looking at it by default it appeared as if it shows all the recent threads that were created on my website. However after looking through it extensively I also discovered articles and wasn't clear on the motives within this module. Am I able to create articles on my website and link them to pages? My overall goal is that I'd like to display updates and news on an entirely separate page instead of using the forums for that. You could say that it's a dedicated blog. Any assistance would be appreciated, thanks. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chilihead Posted May 2, 2015 Share Posted May 2, 2015 Yes. Create a database. Then create a page with Page Builder mode on. Go to the page and on the left drag blocks over you want. Create what fields and categories you want. You can also use Blog for... blogs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Are there any specifics in creating either that I should be aware of? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So it's a nice accident for you to discover. There's a steep learning curve though if you'd like to do anything beyond making the most basic pages or databases.
