How to display full news article, different category on different pages and changing date format on Display posts #134

Closed ghost closed 4 years ago

Hello, First thanks for this amazing plugin. I am very new to october cms so apologies for asking something obvious maybe. I looked into documentation and here on github but I am not finding information I am looking for so I am just going to ask.

  1. I managed to display news posts on my page (with % component 'newsPosts' %}) like I want expect one problem. I want to have a page for news and a page for events. I want to display news posts in one page and events in another. It works fine with filtering category "events" for example to just show events. Is this how it was designed to be used or I am doing something silly? For the news category I would like to have many different categories for different services/products so people can subscribe just to the service/product they are interested in. This would mean that I have to add to the category filter every new category I add because I don't want to display events in news page. Again is this how it was designed to be used or it's a better way to do this?

  2. I would like to have a subscriber form under news and events page but I don't want to display any other category then events under events page. How can I achieve this? Is it possible to already select category so people don't need to and leave other unchecked if there is no other way to do this?

  3. I have some problems displaying full news article For example I have news article named "Test3". When I click on the name of the article I get redirected to https://example.com/blog/test3 but the article is not there?. I changed on the (Display posts - Links - Post page) to page blog but the article is not there. I am getting page Error code: 404 like it does not exist. Where are the articles actually located? Do I need to create a custom page to display full articles with name of the article, full text, image and back button? Do you have any simple example for this? Maybe I am missing something obvious...

  4. On the newsPosts (Display posts) when I do (% component 'newsPosts' %) I am getting the date format in 2020-05-01 (YYYY-MM-DD). I would like to change the display of the date format to DD-MM-YYYY. Is it possible to do this?

Again apologies for asking silly questions and thanks for any answers in advanced. I appreciate it.

This is now solved thanks to https://vimeo.com/97088926 (timestamp 06:40) if someone has the same problem like me. I still think you could improve your documentation and make it easier for people who are not that experienced in october cms. Thanks.
