Hi,

I have created the drupal template for my new website (new to drupal - converting most of sites to drupal). See template at
debosoft.debosoft.com.au
I want to display the teaser text for stories in the right hand column but I have no idea how I can do that?
Any ideas?
regards
Sam

thanks for the tip
I have installed views - you can see the website now at (i changed URL)
http://debosoft.com.au/demo/debosoft_drupal/

My problem is that I am using stories to display on the right hand side. But the whole entire body is displaying. How do I display just a teaser or the first sentence to the right column?

thanks
Sam

Ok I was able to figure it out. Took some trail and error (remember im a drupal newb)

* Installed views module
* Created a new view
* Selected node
* Changed row style from "field" to "node"
* Added the filter - Node type = story
* Make sure you add the block display and save the block admin name
* Add the new block to the section required
* To display teaser - you need to add the break when creating the story

Not very good instructions i know....but they may help when you are playing around

Regards
Sam
