displaying a specific article with {CONTENT} ?

dakkon · Post by **dakkon** » Sat 17. Jul 2004, 01:37

I've got a three column layout, and in my right-hand column, I want to have an article that is editable...

I was thinking I could just add a new article under index, have the title hidden, and then it wouldn't show up in the menu.

From there, I figured I could call it directly with the {CONTENT} tag by passing it the corresponding ID, but apparently that does not work...

Is there any way to display a specific content block so that I can do this? The right column will be the same for every page, so I really just need a way to pull in content from a single article.

Thanks!

There is a 3-column layout available in the templates. Here is what I wanted to do....

Left Column - {NAV_LIST_ALL}
Middle Column - {CONTENT}
Right Column - {CONTENT:id=10} <-- want to do something like this

So that for my entire site, the right column would ALWAYS have the same page in it, and users could edit that page as they could any other page. Also, I would not want that page to show up on the left-hand navigation (so I could just "hide" that link).

Hope this is a better explanation. Thanks for the help.

I think there was a hack out that would let me do this, but I can't find it again... I'll keep looking I guess. Thanks!
