Teaser Module / Snippet?

(1/2) > >>

Hello to everybody,

I am planning a website for a company and am definitely going to use WB as CMS. I have done a couple of sites with it and I actually am confident that it'll work out well this time, too.

While planning the need for a teaser-component arose which we plan to use on listing-pages which lead to detail pages. As the system will be used by this company later on, the editors want to have a module or a snippet in backend which allows them to insert a picture, text and a link which then forms a complete teaser that will be displayed on the page. The idea is like having a different modules on one page (e.g. WYSIWYG, Code etc).

I would like to know if this would be possible (which probably is) and how I could manage this. To be frank I have never made a module or snippet before and I would love to get some aid from experienced users.

I am attaching an image of the planned teaser which shows two teasers of both types - with image and without - and hope that somebody could give me a hand with that.

Thank you all in advance..

Mete

Hello,

have you already tried the News module which ships with WB; maybe in combination with the code snippet AnyNews (from the WB Addons repository)?

Hi there again Christian,

I have taken a look at the AnyNews Snippet. As far as I understand I could use it in combination with News, so to say I make news with News but display them with AnyNews, right?

Which unfortunately is kinda confusing, maybe not for me but for other editors. I am actually looking for a module which I call in backend, fill out the necessary parts (e.g. Header, Text, Picture and Link) and then it's ready to go.

Too hard? I just can't do it myself. I don't even know how to get it to the point where I could write into the database or call a picture from the media library due to my lacking php knowledge.

Hello,

have you tried the News module as standalone module? Should already include all you need. The AnyNews is only if you want to display e.g. certain news as a teaser (e.g. last 4 news or something like that).

Regards Christian

I am trying to style News as a teaser right now. This might work, there are yet some point which are of course missing.

I noticed I can assign images to groups and make a call to them as I mark a news item as member of a certain group, but I can't choose any picture from the media. To do that I would have to make new groups which I'd like to avoid.

One important missing part is that I do not know how to link the teaser to a certain page in WB. It does take me to a "read more"-view but this is not what I need.
