Hi Horst, [quote]on the start page of the portal, the 3*4=12 lead articles from the section pages should be shown. [/quote]
This sounds like a case of content reuse. My first thought is to use the Data module. Define the lead articles as data items in the Data module. You say that the articles are in an (external?) database. You may need to import them into the Data module first so editors can easily select them. (Unless you already have a selection mechanism for the database.) The Contacts example in the demo-project uses this approach. http://documentation.magnolia-cms.com/modules/data.html http://documentation.magnolia-cms.com/reference/components/teasers.html#ContactTeaser There are also two recipes for content reuse in http://documentation.magnolia-cms.com/use-cases/content-reuse.html. Do you need to display the articles on the start page in their entirety or just tease them? Perhaps you could adapt one of the teaser components to display the first paragraph of each article? --Antti -- Context is everything: http://forum.magnolia-cms.com/forum/thread.html?threadId=22c90e8f-4e1d-467d-95cc-22f77fcab0d7 ---------------------------------------------------------------- For list details, see http://www.magnolia-cms.com/community/mailing-lists.html Alternatively, use our forums: http://forum.magnolia-cms.com/ To unsubscribe, E-mail to: <[email protected]> ----------------------------------------------------------------
