Hi, love the CMS!

I'm still a beginner with backend development and am struggling to grasp how posts populate. I want to only display posts with specific tags on specific pages and add extra post fields which can be displayed in my markup. The end goal of my project is to have editable content for upcoming local events, so on my page I currently have a 2 column grid layout which i want to display each post in, howver i still ned to add more 'fields'. Some examples would be adding a date and location wyswig field to each post.

Heres my code (I've added different variable names to represent the new fields - you get the picture):

**{template: inc/header.html}

{template: inc/sidebar.html}

{$page.title}

{loop: $blog.posts}

{if: $value.cover_photo}

{/if}

{$event.title}
{$location.content}

{$contactnumber.content}

{$value.content}

{/loop}

{template: inc/footer.html}

{template: inc/nav.html} {template: inc/scripts.html}**

Ive also tried adding to the site.php page but i'm not sure how to go about this. Sorry if its a bad question, didn't want to use wordpress and this was the best lightweight alternative i've found!

Hello Thanks for choosing Batflat for your website! As for tags, there is already an answer about this feature here and here. Sadly in Polish, but you have the code and how it works. You need to edit _getLatestPosts() function (or create a new one). When it comes to additional 2 fields, unfortunately, I can't answer that question for you, because I need to reproduce it first, but don't have too much time now.
