Hi,

First I'm not sure in which matter your need differs, from what is already implemented in STK by the 'stkNews' Page and the 'stkNewsOverview'. The stkNews page is like an specialised article page, mainly the the way it is used by the stkNewsOverview.

But never less I just guess that you want to create a different kind of news/article which is listed automatically/dynamically. Could be for example 'newInternational' and 'newsLocal'.

This should be 'quite easy'. Meaning by that, that STK provides you with the exact use case done as for the stkNews pages.

Have a look at the paragraph configuration 'stkNewsOverview' and its parameters. Its automatically generated by the template 'stkNewsOverview'. template 'stkNewsOverview' -> auto generates 'stkNewsOverview' paragraph.

'stkNewsOverview' has a parameter: 'searchForSubcategory'
This means this paragraphs displays a list of all pages having in their template definition the same subcategory, for example 'news' 'event'.
Actually the same mechanisme is used for the eventsOverview too.

I try to lead you by short steps blow

Sorry, maybe I wasn't clear with what I need to do....

I want to dynamically create a page

creation of the page you would have to implement yourself (meaning not creating page by right click in admin central), in your case the page 'ArticleNews' or 'InternationalNews' for example.

which takes all my news webpages which we have right-clicked on and created,
the newsOverview paragraph does that already for searching by subcategory 'news'.

You would have use a copy the 'stkNewsOverview' paragraph and change the parameter 'searchForSubcategory' to the subcategory you want to search for. For example 'internationalNews'. You copy the 'stkNewsOverview template definition and let it auto generate the new paragraph you defined above.

to then display a list of news articles dynamically, kind of like a teaser page.
This page would display all latest pages by date, having the subcategory 'internationalNews' (or whatever you defined in the paragraph)

I want to collect the following from all my existing pages and pull the information onto one listings page:
If the rendered content of the page list provided by the paragraph (title, abstract, link) is not sufficient, you can adapt the paragraph freemarker template itself 'newsOverview.ftl' (or a copy of it you use).


Page Title
Link back to the page
Brief Summary

Event/NewsList implementation as done in STK provide pagination on the found results too. this should be usable for your needs quit easy too.

I hope this explanation helps a bit.

Regards,
Christian
