<p dir="ltr">Hi techlist <br>
Yes the field management and views is good approach that you used. <br>
Hide the featured article field value and top article field value from the display settings of your bundle ( content type )</p>

Hi,<br>
<br>
I have immersed myself in Drupal 7 for the last 10 days. I have learned<br>
a lot and have a lot to learn. Please feel free to comment or correct<br>
anything I might write.<br>
<br>
I want to be able to mark articles as a top story and/or a featured<br>
articles and put a list in the left column.<br>
<br>
After reading a ton of the online docs I decided the field management<br>
and views was the way to go. I assume I could also create a module or<br>
put the code in the theme's function file.<br>
<br>
I downloaded and installed two modules:<br>
<br>
1) views-7.x-3.8.zip<br>
<br>
2) ctools-7.x-3.8.zip<br>
<br>
I added the two fields as integers and was able to get things working.<br>
So far so good.<br>
<br>
The problem is the at the bottom of the content of the article marked as<br>
a featured article It shows:<br>
<br>
Featured Article:<br>
1<br>
<br>
And at the bottom of the article marked as top story it shows:<br>
<br>
Featured Article:<br>
0<br>
Top Story:<br>
1<br>
<br>
On an article that is not marked as either at the end of the content is:<br>
<br>
Featured Article:<br>
0<br>
Top Story:<br>
0<br>
<br>
Any help and advice is much appreciated!!<br>
<br>
Thanks,<br>
Keith<br>
