Ubiquitous posts: publish simultaneously in own section and frontpage

Hi,

I would like the frontpage of my site to function as a portal leading to the various existing sections. I imagine it as sporting the latest picture from my photoblog, an excerpt from the latest article, my latest post-it express note, ect. But in order to have the latest item from each section be published simultaneously in their own dedicated section and on the frontpage (in a downsized version and thus with a special form), I’m figuring I should need to be able to specify two page templates for each section either in the “sections’ tab or the ‘write’ one.

Does anyone know if a plugin exists to do that ? Or any other way to publish posts in more than one section ?

Thank you for any tips.
L.

Mmmmm.

I think you don’t need two templates but just configure your sections to be on frontpage. Look for that option in Presentation -> Sections).
That way, the articles published on the sections that has that option set to on, will also be posted in the frontpage (You have to put a txp:article tag in your default template).

You can have one, two or more pages templates.
With just one template you may need the use of some built-in conditionals like txp:if_section.
Or you can have just two templates, one for the frontpage and one for all your sections.
Or you can have more than two: one for the frontpage, and one for each section.

That’s up to you.

If you do decide to use bit_rss grab the latest SimplePie from SVN, it will sort posts correctly in Textpattern 4.0.3.

Ooooh, now I understand what that option was for: that’s pretty spiffy. I already loved TXP, but now, thumbs up! It does precisely what I wanted. Thank you.
