Hi,<br>
I have to fix friends drupal website, somebody else started (and messed<br>
up). I'm drupal newbie too but this will be great way to learn<br>
something. it's really basic website. the prev guy used blog as content<br>
type to put news. he didn't figure out how to have last e.g. 5 artikles<br>
(news) on font page and on the News page have titles and teasers.<br>
now,<br>
1. is it easy to switch nodes made with blog content type to simple<br>
story cont. type? (no View module involved)<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>Not really -- once the content type is set for a given node, it's not easily changed nor recommended.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
2. I was google-ing for this but all I found was to complicated, complex<br>
to me and/or something I have to modify (?!?): how simply have 5 latest<br>
stories (or other content type if I have to create) on front page, in<br>
content area with title, date posted, posted by and short "introduction"<br>
+ "more..." :-)<br></blockquote><div><br></div><div>You want to use Views.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
<br>
p.s. if somebody knows a "explain to me like I'm 4" tutorial about Views<br>
please provide me the link :-)</blockquote><div><br></div><div>Try Googling for screencasts as well.</div><div> </div><blockquote class="gmail_quote" style="margin:0 0 0 .8ex;border-left:1px #ccc solid;padding-left:1ex;">
