I'm trying to figure out how to get different content on different pages when they get published. Really what I have is basically a digg-esque site and looking to make a page for newly posted content and a page for most popular content but want to separate them on the different types of content and only want certain things on the front page. I'm just not sure how to create their individual pages using drupal.

While there are many ways to accomplish this, views maybe one of the easiest and in most cases the fastest solution to accomplish such a goal. The Views Module is available for both Drupal 5.x and 4.7. If you need some instruction and documentation check out node/109604, "Views Documentation".

Hope that helps, if not hollar back.

Did you figure out how to do something? Did you find documentation on Drupal.org inadequate? Well now it's your turn to set things right. Please create posts and comments that can help us and others while at the same time improving Drupal.org's documentation.

Okay well then that was easier than I thought. But now the only problem I am having is setting up a view more link to the page that is created. Does there have to be more than just the amount stated (like I have it require five for on type of content and six for another) before it will lead to the other page?

I guess I don't really understand what your asking. Are you asking about the pager? How many nodes to display on a page? Well hit me up and lets figure this out.

The problem is there's no link that comes up for the actual page that views create to show in the block that I just created. I am thinking that that the only way to show the link is to have more than the amount that you have listed to view (otherwise why show the other page if the only ones you have are linked right there) at least that's my guess. If this sounds confusing too I'm sorry but it was just as confusing to me.

I want to make sure that when i make a post - what ever the content type system - it is not connnected in any way to another post.

This means that there are no links between pages. And so each page can only have one post on it.

I am not talking about when tags are involved.

I think that www.textsave.de achieves this.

ps. If there one content type is more apt to achieve the above then i would be interested in that.

thanks
