I know only Drupal 6.X<br><br>Recepe 1: Without contrib modules: <br><ul><li>tag blog posts with the taxonomy term "news" <br></li><li>tag blog posts with the taxonomy term "service" <br></li><li>[use a different node type if want different behavior. Blog has submitted by on by default and breadcrumb has the name of the author; story also has submitted on by default, page doesn't etc.]</li>
<li>link to /taxonomy/term/number or /taxonomy/term/number/all</li><li>create a role for news editor and one for service editor<br></li><li>use roles and node permissions to restrict publishing function to these roles.<br>
</li></ul>Disadvantage: the behavior of the overview page (river of news) which shows all news and service nodes is not very configurable. At least not without further ado.<br><br>Recepe2: Other method: use views and node types<br>
create node type "news" and "service" and use views2 to create an overview page. <br><br>Advantage: no tags necessary. Simplifies input for your editors.<br>Disadvantage: you have install and learn contrib module views, but believe me sooner or later you will want to do this!<br>
<br>If you have time, try both ways. <br><br>you might also want to look at one of my first sites <a href="http://www.esem-music.org/">http://www.esem-music.org/</a> (recepe 1) and a later one of mine (<a href="http://mimo-project.eu/">http://mimo-project.eu/</a>, recepe 2)<br>

Hello All:<br>
I just installed drupal and looking to get a website running. I still<br>
have a lot to learn. I want to avoid using any additional modules. One<br>
of the requirements is to create a menu item called "News". This will<br>
display a page of all the available news for the site. I like to have<br>
the ability to create a news page granted for news editors.<br>
Similarly I need a "Services" item. Using taxomony and content types,<br>
this should be possible. Right ?<br>
for example, I created an vocabulary called "News" with one term only<br>
"default" to be applied to a page. Is there a way to create content<br>
type for news only ? and How to add this to the menu ?<br>
<br>
Any ideas or tutorials about how to proceed ?<br>
