Steve, Thanks for your help. step by step is great :)
I've gotten that far... I have this in my display template: <con:container label="sidebar news" preHTML="<p class=""callout"">xxx" postHTML="</p>"> I added the xxx just to see if I could get anything to show up. When I go into design page mode I now see my news item in the proper place with a little "edit" button next to it. I go to edit the item. - I move the "news" rule to active and "commit" - On the container content tab I want to make my own display demplate show up here. I created a folder called "containers" in my webskins directory (that didn't work). Where do these templates come from? One more question - how do I modify the categories? I can't seem to find a way to put any category in except for "root" (which was there already). -mk -----Original Message----- From: [email protected] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Behalf Of Stephen Moretti Sent: Tuesday, August 29, 2006 6:23 AM To: [email protected] Subject: [farcry-dev] Re: News Item and Container On 29/08/06, Mkruger <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > > ok..

You have a page of HTML content in the admin of your farcry site, with the display type of say "standard page". In the dmHTML folder you have a layout called displaypageStandard.cfm, which has <!--- @@displayname: Standard Page ---> somewhere at the top of that template. This is your page layout with your left content area and right hand side bar html. In the right hand side bar you need a call to the containers tag to create a container. This will look something like this : <con:container label="RightSideBar"> On the front of the site, go to your html page and show design using the menu and follow Steve's instructions. When you've added your news items to this container and organised them the way you want to, close the pop-up and switch back to normal display mode. You should now see your selected news items in your right hand bar. You will need a display method for your news items that will work in your right hand side bar. Does that help at all?
