Looking for some help with Views

Samisgod - November 9, 2009 - 15:58

Hello Everybody,
This is what i am trying to do:
I want to make a new content type named About Me (I know how to do that)
I have created a "page" content type named About Me
I want to make it that whenever i create a new "about me" content type, it will automatically be published onto the "page" about me.

Is this possible? If anyone knows how to do this with the Views 2 please explain in detail

thank you in advanced

You don't need a page called "about me". Simply create a page view with a "node: type" filter set to the "about me" content type and set the path of the view to be whatever you used for your about me page.

Thank you for responding.
I did as you told me. Page path = http://samchoksi.com/?q=academics and Node: Type = Story. I saved it, but when i go to http://samchoksi.com/?q=academics it loads up the same. The new view created isn't being displayed.

1) Does the view preview work?

2) make sure you don't have anything already at that path.

Sam, maybe as a test you should make the view go to aboutme

Then visit http://samchoksi.com/aboutme

Also, you may want to look at the admin menu for Site Configuration --> Clean URLs. Once enabled it gets rid of that"q" business. It's what all the cool kids are doing.

Got it working! Thanks for
