I need to a create a view list of the latest "term", displaying titles of node but I want to handpick the latest node myself, not auto generate it. This list is displayed in the frontpage to outline the latest articles. It is filtered by created date. but sometimes we want to display an old article in this list ( the article can be modified if needed)

I fished around and came to a module called "Node Queue", its a beta version right now, Is there a way to do this without using other modules?

thanks

node queue is your best choice. THe beta version is actually in pretty good shape; I need to roll a non-beta release but I keep not getting to it.

hi, I installed the node queue but I can't seem to figure out how to create a que, I enabled the modules from the site builder -> module section 2) created a queue in content management -> node queue ( set the queue to Story) 3) click on a node that I want to list in the queue 4) click on node queue but I can't any option that says "add this to the queue" or something like that ..

The read me, talk about creating blocks and pages to display queue but I need to know how to actually add a node into a queue

Thank you

That's a node queue bug, then.

any idea on where to look to fix the problem? I'll try installing ver 5.x-1.x-dev instead and report back

FYI: I installed the 5.x-1.2-beta on my dev server and got the same result, I then uninstalled and reinstalled 5.x-1.x-dev and it worked fine. Im only cautious about installing this production server.

thanks for the support merlinofchaos :)

For anyone having the same issue, here's the update.
I didn't install the dev version on my production for obvious reasons... Instead I sorted my views by "node:created time" and had my editors change the "node creation time/date" to more recent date if they wanted a node to appear on the view again
