Block or template or what?
Permalink
Hey there!
I'm totally new to C5, and not really a programmer. I work as a Graphic/Motion Designer and was hoping to get a simple portfolio up and running.
So on topic;
Is there a way (from just standard installation with no custom blocks and whatnot) to be able to add content in the form of a "blog"-stream (inputing content in "container"-divs that are like pages where content can be edited)?
What I want to be able to do is basically put content in, in the form of a post-holder, like what I've done temporarily in html for now athttp://www.2d3d.se by just duplicating the div's in a text editor and changing the images and texts.
I've used wordpress and am quite familiar with building themes for it, but I don't want a blog and a cluttered cms...
Phiew, not really familiar with all the C5 lingo, but I hope I was clear enough.
Thanks in advance!

Basically you create a page in concrete5, and then create a number of pages below that page (with hide from nav checked) and use the pagelist_block to read those pages onto the homepage.
that way when you add a new item, you just create a new page with your specific page_type and it will be added onto the homepage automatically. Those sub pages could have their own blocks (like an image block for the main image, and a content block for the text).
It would still require some custom PHP I think to setup the page type, but if you have done basic stuff with wordpress it shouldn't be that hard for you once you get the concrete5 workflow :)
