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