Rendering page from other table

Permalink
Hello!

This may seem as a frequently asked question, but i haven't been able to find a solution. Is it possible to create a db table called news with news entries in, and then show them in concrete5 as pages? Maybe create a template page and then in the url have ?newsID=newsID

Hope it makes sense

Best regards

Hi Svendlove,

You can create a pagetype news and then your news pages can be created just regularly as pages in the full sitemap view.

After that, you can add a pagelist block and select the parent page, where your newspages live within the site tree. If you want to display some attributes like date of creation or even a summary of the news entry, you can add page attributes and create a page list template for your news page list block.

Thats just a high level description of what to do..If needed, I can provide you more detailed explanations..

Otherwise, the ProNews Package from RadiantWeb does exactly what you want..http://www.concrete5.org/marketplace/addons/pronews/...
