Hmm, I probably got your last sentence completely wrong ... do you mean FCK Editor by "front-end inline editor"? And how would adding ability to create new page to it solve your problem? When I wrote my original answer I assumed (and maybe that was wrong), that you first create the news items and only then you organize them in the pages. Or better that there are two different people doing the job. First job is someone I call web-editor (for the sake of the discussion), who organizes web content, create news page and defines where and what kind of the news entries will be displayed on this page. The second person is a news-editor who will be adding news entries independently of how/when/if those entries are being displayed on the web or not. The second person would be most likely (at least partially) replaces by periodically running ImportHandler fetching the news from other servers or from agencies providing such info in real news example. Anyway, reading what you wrote above, I have the feeling that you work this the other way around ... you prefer to create a webpage and paragraphs on this page as a news items, but want those to be stored in the data module as entries of special type ... is that correct? If so, this is also possible. all you have to do is write a custom SaveHandler for the paragraph, that would create new entry of given type in the Data Module repository and in the paragraph node itself store only location to the data entry ... honestly though, at this point i have problems to see any benefits in such an approach, except for ability to browse such entries later without having to go through the website tree ... maybe that's all you are after :) Cheers, Jan ---------------------------------------------------------------- For list details see http://www.magnolia-cms.com/home/community/mailing-lists.html To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <[email protected]> ----------------------------------------------------------------
