On my site I have a "latest news" section that is updated almost daily. I'm using the frontpage module. What I'd like to do is post either blog or story nodes and have those nodes all go into a directory, in this case /latest-news and then have the pathauto module work its magic from there so the final post would be /latest-news/here_is_the_latest_news. And then the end user can go to /latest-news and see all of the latest posts there.

I've looked everywhere trying to find how this could be done but nothing seemed to really be what I was looking for. Do I just need to do another install of Drupal in that directory to get this type of functionality? (Seems unnecessary, but I'd do it if needed)

You could set pathauto to create news nodes at "latest-news/[title]", then add something like the Views module, and configure a view to display a bunch of chronologically sorted news items at the path "latest-news". It should work fine...

The View could be something like "nodes of type 'blog' or 'story' that have the keyword of 'latest-news' , are published, and promoted to the front page. sort this in descending chronological order, and display the top 15 items on the page 'latest-news'"

I am amazed at how fast a couple of things like this have been addressed by the Drupal community. dnorman, thank you for the help. It works perfectly.

I'm now a huge Drupal fan (after trying Wordpress, Mambo and others) and a big part of that is the great community of people willing to share their knowledge.

Thanks tons,
