Original Question cames from http://community.wikidot.com/forum/t-303831/news-entry-to-my-website#post-1006569
Here I copied the answer from RobElliott RobElliott
To display the notices on the noticeboard page you need to add a ListPages module. The full steps I used to display the notices on the page here are shown below. I always use a dataform for notices.
1. new page button
1) on an admin page where you want to place a button to add a new notice add the following new page button code:
[[table class="newpage-button" style="width: 215px;"]][[row]][[cell style="text-align: center;"]]
[[[[!----]/[!----]noticeboard:[!----]notice/edit/true[!----][!--/tags/notags[!----][!----]/parentPage/noticeboard[!----][!----]|Add a new noticeboard item]]][[/cell]][[/row]][[/table]]
[!----]
[[module CSS]]
@import url(http://snippets.wdfiles.com/local--code/code:newpage-button);
[[/module]]
[!----]2. Category Autonumbered
2) in the site manager make the noticeboard category autonumbered.
3. Dataform to _template
3) add the following dataform syntax to the noticeboard:_template page:
[[form]]
fields:
noticetext:
label: Notice text
type: text
width: 100
height: 5
download:
label: Open file
type: file
download2:
label: Open file
type: file
download3:
label: Open file
type: file
url:
label: Related website link
type: url
default-schema: http://
[[/form]]4.Show most recent 5 News entrie
4) On the page where you the notices are to be displayed add the following ListPages module which calls the relevant fields from the dataform. The most recent 5 notices only are displayed:
[[module ListPages category="noticeboard" order="created_at desc" limit="5"]]
+++ %%title_linked%%
%%form_data{noticetext}%%
File: %%form_data{download}%%
File: %%form_data{download2}%%
Related Website: %%form_data{url}%%
Go to %%linked_title%%
//Posted by RFPG on %%created_at|%e %B %Y%%//
[[div style="border-bottom:2px solid #223773;"]]
[[/div]]
[[/module]]5. Show "old" News in Summary
You need to use the offset parameter in the ListPage module. So if you are displaying the most recent 5 notices then to display older items than the most recent 5 your offset will be 5, that is it will not include the most recent 5 entries, as in the example below:
[[module ListPages category="noticeboard" perPage="10" order="created_at desc" offset="5" limit="6" separate="false" prependLine="||~ Date ||~ Title ||" appendLine="||||||~ ||"]]
|| %%date|%d/%m/%y%% || %%title_linked%% ||
[[/module]]Hope that helps.
Thanks to RobElliott for the codes!
