2 Column content
Hello again. Im designing a 2 column website which will publish latest articles on one column and updates and new in the other. The question, how do i go about doing it so that the client can update both columns? Im puzzled as how to do this…
Thanks in advance.

Re: 2 Column content
You can do this automatically. Let’s say you want the latest article in column A in full body, and the rest of the articles in a list format in column B. You can do something like:
<code><div id=“colA”>
<txp:article form=“one article” limit=“1” />
</div>
<div id=“colB”>
<txp:article form“article list” offset=“1” limit=“15” />
</div></code>
Then write the two appropriate form, the first one with txp:body and such, the second one as a more condensed list.

Re: 2 Column content
Clear as mud what you mean by the difference between “latest articles” and “updates and new”, but the FAQ has a brief example of how to do columns, plus several pointers.

Re: 2 Column content
Pardon me, i was in rush previously.
The main page has two columns, left showing excerpts of blog posts/articles, right one showing, latest updates, changes and news regarding the site. I didn’t know with one form both the column can be dynamic. I’ll have a look again in the faqs and what Jeremie suggested.
Thank you both for your time. Will be posting again if i stumble across a problem.
