Hi guys,

I am liking the look of the CMS but am still trying to figure out a few things

- Is Couch capable of dynamically creating new pages from a template and adding menu items to the site Nav?
- I want to create a blog and wish to have the first 3 articles appear on my home page, is this possible?

Are there any tutorials on how to do any of the above?


So far I am loving the simplicity of it


Thanks

Hello and welcome riomars

Is Couch capable of dynamically creating new pages from a template and adding menu items to the site Nav?

Couch is certainly capable of dynamically creating new pages from a template.

The new page can also get shown as menu item in your site nav. *However* this won't happen automatically (think of it - Couch makes no assumptions about what markup you use for the menu). You'll have to code this functionality yourself using Couch tags, namely cms:pages.

I want to create a blog and wish to have the first 3 articles appear on my home page, is this possible?

Certainly. The cms:pages tag used to list pages supports 'limit' parameter. For example as follows -

Code: Select all

<cms:pages masterpage='blog.php' limit='3'>
   ...
</cms:pages>

Are there any tutorials on how to do any of the above?

I suggest you please go through the following - http://www.couchcms.com/docs/tutorials/

Hope this answers your query.
