Creating custom interface
Permalink
Hello
I've just started developing with concrete5 and love it!
I really like the composer (blog system). Where can i find a tutorial about creating interfaces like that where you edit page content through another GUI than the page editor. I would like to create a news module (i know i can find some, but i want to build it myself) like you create posts in composer!
Where do i start?
Best regards

It sounds like you're interested in working with custom objects. You could check out the Custom Objects Demo package here:http://www.concrete5.org/marketplace/addons/custom-objects-demo/...
It goes over setting up a custom database table for your objects (in your case news items) then adding the add/edit/view pages for them.
Also, since you said you really like the composer you should check out Best Suite - Core:http://www.concrete5.org/marketplace/addons/best-blog/.... It is really the piece that composer is missing right now. I know you said you wanted to do this as a learning experience, but for the use case you described this add-on would pretty much completely solve your problem.
