Is it just me, or is it not possible to create static pages in
drake cms? Everytime i try to create a page (like "about"),
it shows up as a news item.
I want a link to the
about-page to be created/shown in the left or top menu
automatic. (Joomla/mambo has this.)
A cms without the possibillity to create static pages,
is''nt a cms. Please let me know what to do. Just a ordinary guy from sweden...

You can make other sections and put content items under them;
you do not necessarily have to use the news section. If you are
referring to the comments and rating drabots not making the page
look like static, yes we are working on a core rewrital for
drabots that will allow customization of drabots for each
component element (e.g. content item in this case)

It is not out plan to replicate features
of other CMSes, unless they are very useful! For example, such
automatic feature is just a shortcut for the menu item creation,
I had seen it in other CMSes too however I didn't know it exists
in Mambo/Joomla

You have not exactly defined what are static pages and
dynamic pages, however if I understood correctly the
functionality you ask for is already present; our documentation
is lacking, that's half of the problem

I finally managed to create a sort of static page (a page where i
could post some info about me). But as you said, the
documentation is very poor.
Not
sure if i can continue to use this cms, cause it''s to hard to
understand it as it is right now. It''s to bad, cause i really
liked this cms, specially the subsites-mod.
And it
seems that there aren''t any other templates available either.
IF i can''t find another cms with subsites/multisite
functions, then i will give drake cms another chance.
Thanks for now...Just a ordinary guy

There will be two more in the next release,
however for mambo/joomla templates it may be question of
months Quote:

I''m still not sure on how to create static (extra) pages in
drake cms. It would be great if someone could explain this
for me a.s.a.p.
I want to be able to create extra
pages like the contact page but just with text, like "About us"
ans so on.Just a ordinary guy from

In future there will be a component (in the admin backend) that
will allow static pages creation with a few clicks (I have heard
your suggestion ).
I have not time at the moment, I
will soon write a step-by-step explanation to show you how to
create static pages until that.
Thanks

To create static pages:
disable vote
and comment drabots from the admin backend drabots menu (they
will be disabled for all content items
have a
content item in an unpublished content section, for example the
default "General Content"
go to Menu -> mainmenu
and create a new menu item of type "Content item"
select your content item from there and...
Finished!
So I don't think we
need a specific static pages facility, or maybe the procedure is
too much lengthy? Give it a try and tell us your opinion

been fixed

wrong....
You should add a module for that menu and then
specify the menu name there

I had
never looked at that feature. Now it is possible to create
mod_menus but I have found very bad code there...
