post different articles in different columns
I am planing to build a site which which will have 3 columns in terms of layout. Each column will have diferent pictures and layout. I am not talking about flowing the same article in 3 columns, but in a way having 3 different sections in one page. So, when i write or edit an article, how can i decide in which column i want it to appear? As far as i know i can decide which category or section, but that doesn’t help.
Any suggestions?
thanks

Re: post different articles in different columns
It’s be possible, and not that hard. What are the criterias of the columns choice ?
If you have columns A, B and C, what article goes in A, B and C ?
The last article of three differents sections ? The last 3 articles of any sections displayed on frontpage ? Some other things ?

Re: post different articles in different columns
I am thinking more of a static site, where each page has its own template. So it will depend a lot from one page to another. When i say articles, i don’t mean typicall blog articles that are added on top of old ones and organised according to different categories. I just mean the information that you found in every static page. So for example my front page will have 3 columns/section appearing in one page; About us, News, contact. When i submit some information how to i decide that the information that i just typed will appear in the News column or in contact column.
Now my second page will have, let say two columns which will include different information from what i mentioned above. On the first colum will have personal information while on the second information for other people. And so on every page will be slightly different.
I guess, i can hardcopy the information in the html code, but i was thinking whether it will be possible to use the write article option of TXP, so it will be more confortable to update it.
thanks

Re: post different articles in different columns
with article_custom you can call a specific article by its id, e.g. <txp:article_custom id="3" />
