Manually Add Blog/Article Pages

[mellymel]

I know you can manually add pages that show up in the navigation, but I'm talking about manually adding content that will show up in the categories, just like the RSS pulls.

In this way, you could also create a category called "Blog" and make entries into it which would appear as a blog within the structure of the site (as opposed to having to try to skin a wordpress install to match your storestacker site).

Of course, the one thing would be that you would have to be able to display the blog entries chronologically even if you wanted to display the rest of the site a different way - say, by price or popularity.  So possibly "blog" would have to be a different class of content.  But, still, it would be so useful!

Well.. that would mean to blend in a totally different script, that creates a blog. May be possible but surely not easy. H

owever, you can add entries like the rss plugin does just manually, as products. Just fill the title, content and eventually a picture and a link and make the price -1, that will cause the entry to be listed just like a rss entry

How about creating wordpress themes for each of the templates.  Then you could link to the blog through the links functionality.  Still think StoreStacker needs specific functionality for handling articles.  We should be able to create an article category as a parent and a list of articles should be able to be attached to the parent.
