Sub-frontpages is it possible?
Hi everyone!
I am new to Drupal. I was wondering if it is possible to have sub-frontpages in Drupal.
Here's an example of what I want to do:
Let's say I wanted to create a site dedicated to videogames, with sections like: Wii, Xbox, ps3. Each section would have different categories: news, articles, reviews, guides, etc. I want the frontpage to have the news, articles, reviews, guides from all the consoles, but each sub-frontpage to have content only from one console.
I made the same question in the Joomla forum, but because I've heard a lot of good things about Drupal. I would like to use it in my site.
I want to use Drupal 5.x. If that's important.
Also, if it is possible, I'd like to see some link references.
Thanks in advance,
Cristian

Yes, it is absolutely
Yes, it is absolutely possible. There are a number of ways to accomplish your task, but here's my basic take:
Utilize the Taxonomy system to categorize your content based on the console. When you submit content you'd select which console.
Leverage Views to display only relevant content based on taxonomy, and create queries which are displayed on those pages.
It should be pretty straightforward - this is exactly the kind of thing Drupal excels at.
Thank you for your answer,
Thank you for your answer, jimi089. Loved when you said: "this is exactly the kind of thing Drupal excels at."
I suppose it could be done this way, tell me if I'm wrong
So, vocabularies could be used for consoles like: wii, xbox, ps3, right? Then, terms would be: news, articles, reviews, guides, is that correct?
For example, I create a page in the following url:
http://example.com/xbox/
How can I make the content inside the vocabulary "xbox" appear dynamically in the above page.
Also, is there a third level to categorise. For example: Vocabulary > Term > SOMETHING ELSE ?
=-=
the above taken from handbooks -> core modules -> taxonomy
for a more advanced type of listing page, investigate teh views.module and the plethora of documentation in the handbooks -> contributed modules -> views section
