Title: Other frontpages?
Post by: Attacus on March 18, 2008, 04:18:26 PM
Is there a way to make alternate pages that work off the exact same settings as the frontpage and take their source simply from one specific forum post?

Example: I have a post in a hidden board called "About Us" with a description. I'd like to use that post as an about us page, displayed as the front page is.

Attacus, one way you can do what you are asking for is by using a single article on your front page.

An example would be the front page (http://www.ourfamilyforum.org/FamilyForum/index.php) on my site. Is something like that what you want to be able to do?

Not exactly. My current frontpage\homepage grabs posts from my "Announcements" board. I really like how each individual post looks, and was hoping that I could make a hidden forum board with different posts representing various pages of my site, IE About Us, Services, etc. Those pages would only display 1 post. Does this make sense? I got something similar to work using articles, but it isn't displayed quite the same, nor is the text formatting as versatile... unless I'm missing something.

Said differently, is there a way to get articles to be displayed in the same way threads\posts are displayed on the front page? Because that way I could just use index.php?page=articlenumber.

No current way to make what you want without customizing the whole TP code for frontpage display. Not something that I think anyone has time to do for you sorry.
