First -- I made Topics for each of the kinds of articles I wanted to create, and then created a couple of sample articles.
If I understand correctly, I can have one page that pulls the articles work for all of my Topics. I simply specify what Topic I'm trying to go to when I link from the front page out to my content-specific page. Correct? So then on my single page, I design any html to display the content however I wish, and then pull the content, Correct? but I'm a little lost here when I'm trying to pull the content. I know you (ALL) have explained this in probably painstaking detail, but I'm not getting it. Here's how I think it works - (I don't think I'm understanding midgard's functions very well) Main Page -- Contains a link off to another page, with specific content on it, say, Member Services. so in the link to the new page, how do I tell midgard *which* topic I want articles from? Then on the new page that displays the specific content, how do I make it look nice? do I make a loop that contains html code and php code to pull the articles? What happens if I need a table to display all of our products? how do I put our products into an article? or do I put them in many articles? This is why I tend to think that I might need separate pages for some of the content. The layout for products will not be the same as the layout for general news. And most of our services pages will contain both news and products types of contents. And I'm not the greatest php coder (yet). So maybe I just need more help with midgard's functions and php...? Also, I have a kind of big question -- I'm using Asgard because that's what came with Midgard. But I've read things about nadmin, and I've looked at the site, and I like the way it looks/works. How hard is it to change from Asgard to nadmin, and can I just install nadmin on top of my current midgard installation, or do I need to start over? Will the nadmin installation kill my database? Is nadmin easier to use than Asgard? (I've noticed that Asgard doesn't always give the correct tree information when you're working, and you can't upload attachments unless you are sg0 root.) At the end of the web site change over, we would like to be able to have our members log in, get their webmail, read about our new services, signup & pay for new services, pay their bill, see a schedule of classes, read more info on those classes, register & pay for classes, read the news, see a calendar of events, download new software, etc. Are all of these things possible with midgard? (I think they are) -- and would nadmin help me to do these things faster than Asgard? Whew! sorry for my asking the same questions over and over, but maybe this time I'll get it. ;) (p.s. I'm not a guy. hehe) Kassetra :) -- ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Kassetra Stevenson [EMAIL PROTECTED] --------------------------------------------------------------------- To unsubscribe, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED] For additional commands, e-mail: [EMAIL PROTECTED]
