Hello everyone,
This is my first post on the DNNCreative forum. Great site Lee!
My question is possibly very basic to many of you. I suspect I cannot see the wood for the trees.
I need to create a front page for our Intranet that pulls in various child pages from their parents in 'list of links' format based on the child page title.
For instance if I have a parent pages and child pages with headings News > Current > Archived News & then Events> Current events> Archived events.
These are added to frequently during the day with new content on new child pages.
I need to display the titles of these pages on the site homepage(lets say the ten most recent items)as a title link
This principle will apply to various sections on the site so the users can see at a glance what has been published most recently.
I am sorry but I am perplexed as to how this can be achieved. I have played with the taxonomy/folksonomy feature to see if this could achieve the result but doesn't seem to achieve what I need
Ideally I need a module that can be inserted into the homepage that can be associated with a Parent page to show the child pages in a simple list of links, 10 most recent publications newest at the top.
I have been using a now defunct CMS called Envivo that works on Categories and articles within the categories but DNN doesnt seem to follow this principle.
The code I currently use in our asp intranet homepage is
<%=AL(114,16,"ID","desc",34)%>
Where the first number is the category number, the next is the number of articles to display in descending order. This can be applied to any content in the site.
Hope someone can suggest a solution. If I am missing something very obvious I will accept the slap but for the life of me I cannot see a way to do this
