and when is clicked on some news i will have a large text of this news on other page. it's something like mini portal with news and announcements

Tnx for help

I did it with globals.php

Global settings
Kindly take a look http://www.couchcms.com/docs/tutorials/ ... -ends.html

globals.php

Code: Select all

<?php require_once( 'couch/cms.php' ); ?>
<cms:template title='Global Settings' executable='1'>
   <!-- Start News Section -->
   <cms:editable name='news_section' label='Edit News Section' desc='Edit, Add Remove News' type='group' />
   <cms:editable name='news_name ' label='Change Breaking News name' type='text' group='news_section'>Breaking News</cms:editable>
   <cms:editable name='news1' label='Your Site\'s news 1' type='text' group='news_section'></cms:editable>
   <cms:editable name='news2' label='Your Site\'s news 2' type='text' group='news_section'></cms:editable>
   <cms:editable name='news3' label='Your Site\'s news 3' type='text' group='news_section'></cms:editable>
   <cms:editable name='news4' label='Your Site\'s news 4' type='text' group='news_section'></cms:editable>
   <cms:editable name='news5' label='Your Site\'s news 5' type='text' group='news_section'></cms:editable>
   </cms:template>
<?php COUCH::invoke(); ?>
   <!-- End News Section -->

and after that in snippets/news.html I added

Code: Select all

<?php require_once( 'couch/cms.php' ); ?>

<div class="breaking-news">
<span><cms:get_custom_field 'news_name' masterpage='globals.php' /></span>
<ul>
<li><a href="" title=""><cms:get_custom_field 'news1' masterpage='globals.php' /></a></li>
<li><a href="" title=""><cms:get_custom_field 'news2' masterpage='globals.php' /></a></li>
<li><a href="" title=""><cms:get_custom_field 'news3' masterpage='globals.php' /></a></li>
<li><a href="" title=""><cms:get_custom_field 'news4' masterpage='globals.php' /></a></li>
<li><a href="" title=""><cms:get_custom_field 'news5' masterpage='globals.php' /></a></li>
</ul>
   
<script type="text/javascript">
         jQuery(document).ready(function(){
                        createTicker(); 
                     });
      </script>
</div>  

<?php COUCH::invoke(); ?>

and add this snippets to index.php (Homepage)

Code: Select all

<cms:embed 'news.html' />
