> I'm wondering how to go about creating a new dynamic content type. Hello Nick,
My suggestion would be to NOT create a new type in this instance (seeing that the only difference is that you don't want an expiration date). I would suggest the following: * create up a category for your advertising news * get the content creators to ensure they always add the advertising news into the "advertising" category and also to NOT put on an expiry date * just use the existing news rule for your containers - but filter on the "advertising" category Remember, you could even have advertising sub-categories as well. If you are wanting "external" people to place advertising items, then you would simply need to build your own interface into your site that gathered the data you want in a form and then create the news item yourself by instantiating a dmNews object and filling in the blanks from the data in your form (and forcing it into the right category). Make sense? And, better still, you don't have to actually do much work (none if you are just letting the admin people create them). And, don't forget that you can restrict the Admin interface way down (using permissions) so that your advertising people can't do much except add news (which can still be controlled through approval).
