Record Sorting Fields
|
Can't Post

|
In the Publishing Rules, is there a way to use the Record Sorting fields to determine which articles show up on pages?
For example...in the Article table, if I created a checkbox field called Front Page. Is there a way to set up a publishing rule to only show articles that had this Front Page checkbox selected?

Hi
When you create a new field in your article table, that field should appear in the drop down menus for sort order on your publish rule pages.
Had you tried this already? If you aren't seeing it there, could you send me a support request so I can take a closer look at what's happening?
Either way, keep me up to date with how you are making out  .

I didn't have a problem creating or seeing the new checkbox field in the sort order drop down menus on the publish rules page. I just wanted to use the sort order to only show specific articles on the front page, regardless of which category they were in.
I did find a solution by inserting the following templateIf statement in my globalIndex template:
<!-- templateIf : $article.frontpage$ eq "Yes" -->
Now, only articles with the Front Page checkbox checked will show up on the front page.
Thanks for the help!
