Fierce God Posted July 17, 2017 Author Posted July 17, 2017 Does anyone know how to this? Or can point me in the right direction??
Fierce God Posted July 18, 2017 Author Posted July 18, 2017 lol, all these views and no one knows how to make this..or am i explaining it wrong?
Steph40 Posted July 18, 2017 Posted July 18, 2017 @FNG As far as I know, you just create a database, call it news, choose the settings and template, create a page at the same time before you save. Add permission when asked. Now you will have a blank news page when you load it. You can add record. For the sidebar, when on the page and login, click the manage block arrow on the left side, choose pages -- record feed, fill the different settings, save and Done. I am attaching the xml of the database if you prefer just importing it. I hope it helps. News.xml
Fierce God Posted July 18, 2017 Author Posted July 18, 2017 @Steph40 thank you so much.... and i will just use the import...i don't want to mess up...again thx
Steph40 Posted July 18, 2017 Posted July 18, 2017 @FGN Got the name wrong the first time Don't forget to manually add the sidebar after. You are welcome.
Joel R Posted July 21, 2017 Posted July 21, 2017 Pages is one of the most complicated applications in the suite, but also the most powerful. It took me six months before I started understanding it and another year before I had anything usable, so don't feel bad. I strongly encourage you to read the Help Guides on working with Pages. Creating a news database is one of the easiest things you can do using the database function IP.Pages.
Fierce God Posted July 21, 2017 Author Posted July 21, 2017 @Joel R appreciate the feedback.... My news page is set up and running smoothly, my whole site is mainly ran off of the pages app and i agree, pages is a very powerful feature and app! I am so grateful that IPS has this feature and can be customized to the fullest!

Cube-y grid news 2. A different article style by @TAMAN. (Worst name ever, but still a good template) 3. SuperHelp, SuperGrid, or SuperSlider by @opentype (Ralf is the IP.Pages guru in the entire IPS community, and his examples of IP.Pages database will make you feel both awesomely inspired and depressingly inadequate).
Fierce God Posted July 21, 2017 Author Posted July 21, 2017 lol, no sry i'm not a news site and i just have the news database to show off new features and updates of my site... and i already have the @opentype plugins on my site for enhancement and more features I'm right with you buddy, thx!
