Custom page editing interface in admin for news pages?
Permalink
Hi all
I was having a look through Andrew's walkthrough on how to create a custom FAQ and I thought that would be a useful starting point on how to create a news item creation interface.
The idea is that editors can log in, they see a News Item option in the Admin menu, then the can build a new news item there, instead of having to create a new page on the main site.
Alas Andrew's howto is a bit complex for this beyond the 4th or 5th step. All I need is some basic forms (page title, page description, main content, perhaps some file links and then a publication date).
Anyone have any ideas on how to achieve this?
cheers :)
