I'm not sure if this question has been asked before or not it seems like a common concept. I need to be able to have Departmental Front pages for my intranet site. In other words when staff create a page they need to be able to have the option to post to front page of their Department and not of the entire site.

I looked the "front page" module but that only allows me to change the front page of my entire site. Another idea was to do views but I'm not sure that will work when users need to post the front page from within their account.

Can someone please let me know if they have done this before or give me a programmatic workaround for this.

Thanks.

hi rocket,

I did something like that seven months ago, it was easy, i did use cck + views, the whole idea is pretty simple:

1 - use cck to create a listbox or something which let you choose the deparment frontpage
2 - create a view with a page display per department to show the teasers of every node then add a filter with the value of the cck field of departments.

you can also try to made a single view and change the content with arguments per departments

Bye.

Is there a tutorial or something that shows you how to do this on the web, not very familiar with CCK?

I understand how to edit and make new forms and create views. My question is how do I make a page the departments default page? So that I can make that an option on my drop-down. I finally have time to address this issue and was wondering how you did this.

Second, how did you do step number two above again I have pretty good grasp on views but I still don't get how you were able to manage this.

I have created a custom cck and view in the past but I'm still running into wall trying to accomplish this. Any help would be greatly appreciated.
