Hi Curtney,
Your plan sounds like a good solution to accomplish what you want.
Personally i would consider to use 2 different object types. One article object type, and an (Article) item object type.
I this way you can easily find out which articles you have without confusing them with the items.
It also makes it more strict that you can relate articles with e.g. your portal or with a magazine, and that you cannot publish only article items.
But both solutions would do the job.

Greetings!
I am trying to implement a paging (Page 1, Page 2, ...) scheme for articles/publications that span more than one page. This kind of paging scheme can be seen on javaworld, java.net, etc. or any site that publish articles. I would like to know how this can be done using mmbase tags.
My initial plan was to have each page be an object and relate these objects
together. For example, a news object can be related to other news objects via
posrel. When displaying a news item A, I can test for the presents of related
news items (pages) to news Item A. Subsequently, displaying the appropriate
links.
Is the above a plausible solution or is there a more simpler way to this?
