spreading teasers in a page

phpaddict - January 25, 2009 - 15:59

Hi
I'm quite new to drupal. So pardon me if this is question is already been asked. Is it possible to spread teaser across the page like those in news site such as bbc and cnn instead of sequential arrangement like those in blogs? The closest thing I could find is to use different node templates for different pages. I'm in no luck in finding on how to use multiple node templates in a page. Is this achievable or am i trying which can't be done? Any helps would be appreciate.

Thanks

If you mean like in sections of a page, investigate the views.module which will create custom lists and the panels.module which will allow you areas to place those lists.

Here's my page layout to

Here's my page layout to help you understand what I'm saying better.

I like to arrange my teaser in that way. Anyway, I'll look into you modules but can you verify the following modules are the same modules that you suggested?

http://drupal.org/project/viewtheme
http://drupal.org/project/panels

Thanks

http://drupal.org/project/views

and yes they will help you accomplish what you want.

composite layout.module may also help instead of panels.

Thanks for the prompt
