I guess I mean, I only have "shared containers" under container managment - there is no link to "manage keywords" there...

- Look in webskin/dmNews for the templates. It works the same way in other rules that insert types, eg in the Handpicked Rule, the templates for each type are taken from their webskin directory.
- The category functionality should be in Content->Content Utilities->Container Management->Manage Keywords. BTW there is a known bug on this particular page for FireFox where categories get added twice.
- For building whole category trees at once use Content->Content Utilities->Quick Site Builder->Category Tree Quick Builder

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).

Mark,

Excuse me if I'm telling you something you already know, but I just
wanted to go through this step by step.

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?

Stephen
