'sticky' to non-frontpage help

4tgc - May 10, 2009 - 21:05

I am fairly new to dupal, and am using Drupal 6.11

My boss wants a page that functions like the frontpage does. For example he will create a 'Page' then on the bottom "Publishing options" there is 'Promote to frontpage' The result is the Page (for example an upcoming event) will show on the Frontpage and on a resource page.

He want a ""Publishing options" and 'Promote to Events' is this even possible?

I have tried Views (also cloned the frontpage...) Created a primary page (and now have a tab for Events) but have found no way to get a Page sticky to the Events page.

I have tried my best for 2 weeks and am at a loss. Thanks for any help.

Unless I'm mistaking the goal, I think the best method would be to use Views, as you've done. If you have a view called Events, you've have already set the filters that select nodes for inclusion in that View... perhaps the filter is a special node type you're using for events, or a tag (Term) called "event" that you apply to nodes?

Is the problem that these nodes aren't showing up in the "Events" View? Or is it that you're trying to make a specific event node "sticky" - i.e. make it always show up at the top of that View list?
