master/detail ?

Hello

I have been checking around the dnn modules but misses one important function. I take the announcement module as an example (the same goes for udt). I wanna have a list of short announcement and then be able to link to a full single announcement from that list. It should work as an ordinary newslist. I use this type listing a lot, and i heard it will be available in the next release of udt. What is the common solution for this problem in dnn?

Regards
christopher

Re: master/detail ?

hehe .. yes of course. But right now my shedule dosent allow it. But what i mean, this functionality is quite common when building a website, so i thought there would be some way to do it on a default dnn installation?

Re: master/detail ?

content is presented by modules, not by the framework itself, therefore it is up to the modules, how to present content. There are a number of master/detail modules, especially from 3rd party vendors, like Articles from Efficion Consulting, MLAdvAnnouncements by Apollo Software etc., and my company is also developing a generic module, that allows easy creation of custom master/detail views and forms.

Re: master/detail ?

MLAdvAnnouncements is not master/detail

Christopher, also have a look at modules from Ventrian (www.ventrian.com). Their News Articles module has a lot of features...

(also, technically, the core blog module is a master/detail module by your definition)
