Create a Story

Roland Tanglao - January 7, 2005 - 15:19

Stories are usually used for the front pages and news sections of brochureware type sites as well as longer pieces that don't fit into the blog format on Bryght sites that have blogs.

  1. Login
  2. Click on "create content"
  3. Click on "story"
  4. If you want this story to be on the front page on your site, check "Promoted to front page", otherwise, uncheck it.
  5. Enter a relevant title under "Title:" e.g. "Welcome to mydomain.com" for the Front page or "About us" for the About page.
  6. Enter some text under "Body:"
  7. Click on "Preview"
  8. If you like what you see, click on "Submit" and you are done! Otherwise edit as you wish and go back to the previous step.
  9. You are done! That's it!

Maybe it would be good to have with each part of your web site (each page, or other piece of content) a small explanation, how it is actually made - which modules are used, how they are configured etc. It is much easier for me to see a result and, if I like it, to read how it is done, than to read how something is done, but can't imagine for which purpose to use exactly that approach actually (or, if this is the easiest way to achieve the desired result). The fact is, I am playing a few days with different modules, but somehow have a feeling that a lot of goals can be achieved in more different ways - just don't know which is the best on a long term. Just for few test pages, the "manual approach" would probably be the quickest one, but you usually see a difference when things start to grow... ;-)

It is hard to do as you suggest because the purpose of a support site is very different from other types of sites. That is, the purpose of the site drives its design. We are doing "best practices" write ups in our articles section that aim to cover general scenarios and how best to implement them.
