    • Newbie Page Creation Question

    Posted by bristolguy United States

    I'm interested in using the articles page as the home page for my site. However, I'd like to have a block of fixed content at the top; just like the welcome page of tikiwiki (http://tikiwiki.org/tiki-index.php) so that fixed content is at the top, and articles stack up below that.

    What's the best way to do this for a newbie? How can I learn about TPLs, CSS, Layouts to better customize my site?

    Any help appreciated.

    Thanks.

    Use the Articles plugin in a wiki page. Edit the page normally to input whatever text, etc. you want at the top, then add "{ARTICLES(max=>3,topic=>topicName)}{ARTICLES}", configured with the number of articles you want to display and the topic. ("Topic" here means "news", "announcements", etc. — as set on the Articles Admin Topics page (tiki-admin_topics.php).)

    For info about templates, CSS and so on, visit themes.tikiwiki.org. You're already registered there (via the Intertiki feature), so you can just log in if you want.

    Thanks. I'll give it a try when I get back from biz travel.
