Title: Building a dossier with specific articles
Post by: Henk on April 30, 2008, 11:10:22 AM
Running a news site I was wondering if it is possible to create a dossier about a certain subject.

What I mean is f.i. , there is something going on in our town and there are a few articles about that same subject. On many sites you see beneath the latest article something like:
other articles regarding this subject... and a link to all these articles in one dossier.

I thought I could create one using the query title, but learned that is something completely different! :)

SMF used: V 1.1.4
TP used: V0.9.8
Theme: Apollo

Ooops, wrong board I see... please move it to support questions. Sorry!

hmmm.... i guess having all the articles in the same category would allow you to return those articles as a group.

but perhaps what you're after is more like the tags you get on blogs.. so an article can have any number of tags... and be linked with articles with similar tags...

can't help directly.. just helping to clarify perhaps... and i can see how that would be useful.

ed_m,  I was thinking about the same solution. I was wondering if there is/was a different way to create such a dossier. After a while you get a lot of categories this way.... but that should not be a problem on the other hand. Thanks for the input.
