Article display help request

Hi guys!

I am starting with textpattern and need your help to correctly construct my website.
I was playing with pages, forms for hours but without any result.
There is a picture where you can see what I want – http://files.dimasnet.com/default.gif.

You can see menu with links to page that use the same default page that will open my pages in the content <div> at center of page. At the bottom there are my news excerpts, they should be also opened in content <div> after click by them.

How should I construct this variant of website? What forms should I need and what content must these forms have?

Thank you!!

Hi Dimas

Looking at the gif, you should be able to do this without any forms

For the menu you can use <txp:category_list> or <txp:section_list>

The content

<txp:article limit="1"><h1><txp:title></h1><txp:body /></txp:article>

The news

<txp:article limit="5"><h3><txp:permlink><txp:title /></txp:permlink></h3><txp:excerpt /></txp:article>

Use divs with classes/ids and css to style the output

Re: Article display help request

Oh thank you colak, yesterday till midnight I was also playing with that and my problem was that I used two same forms – default with <txp:body> and news with <txp:excerpt> and on the first page everything was nice – for example 3 news and 1 static article but when I clicked by title on any news than news was opened twice – in the news side and also in the content site. Thanks google I have found tutorial how to create archive and used <txp:article_custom limit=“3”> instead of loop and now it is ok. Anyway thanks a lot!

P.S. How do u know I am Dimas? :)
