Reviews and Previews?

Postby MasterVivi » Wed May 15, 2002 7:41 pm

you may need to go to http://square-hq.net/index3.php to understand

I want to have reviews and previews so that I can submit a picture of the game with some text about it... I was actually thinking of making the entire site using something like phpnuke, but i decided no.

So I came to the conclusion that somehow I was going to use coranto. Now I know that I can like submit a review/preview and when I click on the pic it will bring me to the "full news", which would be the actual review.

So I don't know if I should install an entire new coranto for that or use something else. I don't know if I could use like a category or something, but I have NO idea how to. ?please help?

Sounds like you probably want to use Coranto and the Maginot addon to me, or maybe create categories for Previews and Reviews. It isn't really clear what you want to do.

Do NOT send me instant messages asking for Coranto help without me telling you explicitly to do so. You WILL be placed on ignore if you do so; I don't have time to provide personal tech support to every person who IM's me. Sorry!

ok well go to http://www.darkstation.com/

look how they have the previews set up and the reviews. That is how I want it.

I enabled the news category addon and made two categories, "previews" and "reviews". What I dont know what to do next... How do I make is so that when I post news, and choose the category of course, that it will appear only in the reviews part? Do I have to create a template or something for the reviews?

Create a profile for each category that includes only that category, and builds the relevant file you want. Look in Administration: Profiles and you'll figure it out pretty quickly.

ok this is really making me mad...


I installed XMS because i know that will help the situation....i made a XMS profile to submit reviews and made it locked on the profile i made called "reviews".

I ceated a category called "reviews" of course.

I created a style called "review_teaser". I edited it to the style I wanted. On the page I want the reviews displayed, I put in php include file code to include reviews.txt.

the only problem im having is the categories! I don't know how I should go about using them. I created a profile for the reviews thing and edited it so it created a file called reviews.txt in the folder /reviews. I also made it so it used the style i created "review_teaser". I made it use the category "revews".

I went into post reviews and posted a review thing...the problem is... it appears where the normal news goes... AND I DONT KNOW WHY! can someone please help? this stuff is REALLY confusing me
