EZ Publish to Mambo - Mambo

gentleman · October 4th, 2004, 11:25

Hello,

I am a heavy user of EZ Publish 2.2.x series.
I have started dabbling with Mambo and one issue I cannot solve is the listing of articles.

Take a look at one of the sites I maintain using EZ Publish at http://www.prolife.org.ph

You can see that the front page functions almost the same as the Mambo default.

But look at the magazine issues inside:

http://www.prolife.org.ph/article/archive/75/

http://www.prolife.org.ph/article/archive/74/

I just need Mambo to have a page that lists down all the articles in a category that has a "read more" on each article.

Using Mambo, I am stuck to doing something like this:

http://www.mmcci.org/mambo/index.php...d=1&Itemid= 2

This is not the news listing my customers would like to see.
My market is familiar with the type of news listing such as:

NEWS

Article 1

Introduction text goes here. Blah, blah, blah.
read more >>

Article 2

Introduction text goes here. Blah, blah, blah.
read more >>

Article 3

Introduction text goes here. Blah, blah, blah.
read more >>

I am pretty sure, there is a way to do this easily. I just do not know how.

Please help so I can make the switch to Mambo.

A link or a clue is fine.

Check out the blogsection and blogcategory features. They are pretty much exactly what you are looking for, as far as I can tell.

Hi gentleman,

I think I remember some of your work from the showcase at ez.no, and its nice to see you around here too .

The Mambocommunity is much more active than the ez, and help is often only minutes away !
I´ve used ez 2.2.x series alot, and still are, but Mambo give some ekstra valuable tools thats hard to integrate in ezpublish.
Soon I´ll be converting a ezpublish site to Mambo, and will follow this thread in case a good hint shows up

Theres some differences of sections/categorys of the two CMS´, but with the newly released 4.5.1 I guess its possible to do what you ask for.

Btw. Dont give up on the 2.2.x series yet ! (A reorganized version 2.3 will soon show up at http://ezcommunity.net, where you at this very moment have the possibility to state what you think need to be in the new ez 2.3 !!!!)

Best luck in your Mamboíng
