However, I don't get what kind of page you want to create - a static page or a blog entry? What purpose should this page serve?

RE: Silly Question
Well a Blog Page would be fine but I was asking generally how would I create any page that will be managed by the admin tool and also allow me to install plugins to it. One idea would be to have a page called News and the how page in news pulled in via RSS for example.

Hi!
You coudl try to use the system to layout each category differently. Using plugins you can assign distinct templates to each category view (categorytemplates plugin), making those your "blog pages". And you can also assign different sidebars to each category with the sidebar hider plugin.
Pulling in RSSis done with the RSS aggregator s9y plugin.

Re: So....
Hi!
I don't understand what you mean? Please explain more detailed. Serendipity has the Static Page plugin, did you try that?
And what do you mean with "they aren't feeding"? What did you do, exactly?

RE
To me static means a page that has no active content i.e. rss, wiki, blog...
What would be great is to have an admin item that says "create page and perhap have a couple of choices like blog page, pic gallery etc and based on that choice an associate plugins in placed there still controlled (edited) by the central admin function. Even a blank page that you could add the plugins to would be great. With a page dedicated to news, you could place rss widgets covering all 3 columns for example.
Feed example feed://newsrss.bbc.co.uk/rss/sportonline_uk_edition/cricket/rss.xml

Re: RE
See, the difference in s9y is that you can in fact have (sidebar) plugins on static pages. I think you can also (but someone correct me if I'm wrong) put the output of at least some plugins in other places than the sidebars, but that's going to require some extra work, i.e. editing template files etc. Might not be worth the effort. It is, after all, a blog engine that can be tweaked to act like a CMS, but it does not offer anything some CMS frameworks like i.e. Typo3 do.chadi wrote:What would be great is to have an admin item that says "create page and perhap have a couple of choices like blog page, pic gallery etc and based on that choice an associate plugins in placed there still controlled (edited) by the central admin function.

Thanks for the note
Thanks Yellowled, I had a site with e107 another nuke like CMS in the past I think I thought everything was a Nuke knock-off
I'll play a bit and see what I can do. Just gotta get my feeds running now. I will say that I saw some example s9y blogs for the forum and their are some beautiful sites to be made in s9y.

Hi!

You can create your own category "News stuff" and use the plugin "Show/hide sidebars". With that you can place individual sidebar plugins that are only displayed when the visitor is viewing a specific category on your blog.chadi wrote:No one wants to comment on my RSS feed issue?

RE RSS Feeds
These are my feeds, they open in my browser, do they have to be formatted differently for the feed reader plugin?
