I'm having some difficulty figuring out how to do something that should be really very simple. I hope someone can point me in the correct direction. Even just a link to a decent explanation will be much appreciated.
My client's site has a "news" section, comprised of--no surprise here--news items. Several are displayed on the front page and a "news" link in the main nav takes one to a set of paged results, listed in reverse-chronological order. I'm trying to figure out how to do the same with Drupal. My best guess is that "story" is the type I want for this. However, I can't figure out how to then list these things, nor what the "news" link in the nav should be pointing to.
I've looked at the Blog module but I'm pretty sure that this isn't what I want. Or is this precisely what everyone else uses for this purpose?
I'm using the Path module and would very much prefer that the link in the nav be "/news" though the individual items can use Node IDs. I don't want the individual items to be listed in the nav, though. So I *think* that I need to create some sort of category/container that I can then associate each story/news item to. Is this correct?
Please note that I'm not looking for a news aggregator. These news items will all be posts made by the client (and only the admin).
Also, I've located the "Post Settings" page (/admin/content/node-settings) but am unsure exactly what this is for. Does this cover blog posts? Forum? Page? Story? All of them?
