Create own news section

Permalink 1 user found helpful
Hi Im a beginner at concrete5 and doing well so far, but ....

I am trying to create my own newssection based upon these directions -http://www.concrete5.org/documentation/how-tos/developers/create-a-...

I get down to the last part where I need to create my own template file for news_index_thumbnail.php in order to pull up the short description and the thumbnail but I keep getting errors

has anyone created this template and has the set up they want to share? I can't seem to figure out what I need to do in order to get . Any and all help would be appreciated

thanks in advance

I looked at that, but would rather do it myself. is it just that much easier to use an add on? I am not a php coder.
