AutoTheme: Breaking News into Different Blocks  Bottom

  • I am looking to see how I would break News up into Multiple Blocks. Basically what I would like to is have more than one index like page (see this post http://forums.postnu…e=viewtopic&t=22995 for more details.

    I would like to know if there was a way to break up the News Topics into different Blocks on the main page and all still be done dynamically. So when I submit a Sports Story, it automatically goes into the Sports Section, when I submit an Arts & Entertainment story it goes onto the A&E page, etc. All News stories would just go to the News page and all Big Stories would go to the Index Page (as well linked on their respective topics pages).

    This may not be an AutoTheme Question at all, but it was in conjunction with the other page and all of it is part of the AutoTheme.

    If you have any questions please ask and I will clarify tot he best of my ability.

  • Sound like you can just use topics, then provide a link to each of the topics... Check out this post for an idea about adding custom "headers" to the tops of the topics.

    As for your home page, it *sounds* like you want the stories of differing topics to be sort of group together, much like a newspaper. If that is the case, check out the post below. It's not AT, but you should be able to adpapt it to your needs.
    HOW TO: Group Topic …wspaper or magazine

  • Thanks Nate, I had used some of your conventions on that same site earlier and I was able to get some of the things to work correctly. I will re-read what you had and see if I can get it all working together. Again thanks for your help,
