Hi -

I think I mist be missing something conceptually in XOOPS. It seems to obvious to me, yet no easy answer is avaiable is seems.

I want to have multipage "pages" like the first page. By that I mean I want control over appearence and position of blocks on each of these secondary pages. Example: Lets say I have a cooking site. I want to have major areas for the Home cook, the commercial cook, and the Restaurant Manager. I want each one of these sections to have it's own home page. Some might have news headlines, maybe some don't. Some I want to have an area at the top-middle with HTML area and then have XOOPS blocks below that.

I can do this ONCE with something line TinyContent. Do I really need to install THREE versions of TC to accomplish this? Am I going about thisthe wrong way?

Many CMS have the concept of "page" where a page is a collection of modules & blocks. This seems to be missing from Xoops. It's like each site is made up of variations of the home page and that's it. Am I missing something?

Thanks so much.

Generally, you would use a "News", "Article" or "Sections" module for something like this with multiple categories.

In some modules the categories can be formed into sublinks in the mainmenu. Others will have navigation options for categories.

HTH.

I don't understand... I want to be able to control visibility and placement of blocks on these other pages. How can I do that with a News item, Article, or Section?
