Steve, Well - I got my xxx's to appear... so that's progress. I added a bunch of new categories using the "category tree builder" - helpful.... Then I assiged a news item to the news category. When I did, the news item now appears ... sort of. It actually shows a link to "more about news" I wanted to display the item in it's entirty... how do I alter the "display method" of the news? Other container items have "_bottom" etc. on them... I assume that maps to a display method by default - but I'm not sure where to put such a file. Here's my display file:
<!--- @@displayname: Side Bar news 1 ---> <cfsetting enablecfoutputonly="true"> <cfoutput> <p class="callout"> #containerBody# </p> </cfoutput> <cfsetting enablecfoutputonly="false"> Where would I put it to have it come up in the admin - or to be able to access it from the container tag call? -Mark -----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?
