Meddysong Posted January 9, 2019 Share Posted January 9, 2019 A colleague has asked me to set up a page where she presents the site. Part of it contains the categories we have in our articles database along with their descriptions. Clearly I could just type them out but then I'll have to be mindful of when new categories are added or descriptions changed etc. What I'd like to do is drop a block in the page. That's not possible because there's no database assigned to this page. So it seems I need to create a block. I'd be able to do a reasonable job with the templating part (it's not much different to creating a template for a Pages database) but I don't the code necessary to say we're going to load from database 3 within the block. Would anybody be able to kindly help me with the first part, namely informing the block that we're looking at data from database 3, please? The rest I think I might be able to pull together myself. Thanks! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Meddysong Posted January 9, 2019 Author Share Posted January 9, 2019 Amazing coincidence! I just found the same page after recalling seeing it in the past. That's what made me think it was possible but I couldn't track it down 🙂 (I got there in the end by searching in that forum for a post by Brandon in which I knew he'd mentioned 'time'.) Yep, got the important bit (the data being loaded) working. Now the fun bit (templating) can begin 🙂 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
