Tutorial #1: Make a "New Pages" block

This tutorial will teach you about how to make a basic view for a block.

To add views, you modify one of the default views.

1. Go to administer >> views.
2. Find default views.
3. Look at the row called tracker, click "add."
4. Click on "Provide Page" to turn it off.
5. Click on block to expand the menu.
6. Click "Provide Block" to put an x in the box.
7. Leave it on "List View."
8. Put "New Pages" in for title.
9. Put in "10" for "Nodes per block."
10. Click on "More" to put an x in the block.

Now we will pick the fields. The default view for tracker comes with 5 fields. We only want the title field, so we'll put the other 4 fields in the trashcan.

1. Click the trashcan icon on the row for node type "Type."
2. Do the same for "Author," "Replies," and "Last Post."
3. Now for the one field remaining called "Title," erase the word "Title" from the box called "Label" so the word does not appear 10 times in your block.
4. Click Save.

To finish, enable the new block.

1. Go to administer -- blocks.
2. Look under the section for disabled blocks.
3. Find one called "New Pages."
4. Click the box to enable it.
5. Give it a weight of -10 by clicking on the down arrow next to the number (The -10 means it will be at the very top).
6. Leave it on "left sidebar."
7. Click on "Save Blocks."

Congratulations. You should now have a new block called "New Pages" on the left side of your website.
