I am completely new to PivotX, but I chose it as I had a very simple request, and from what I read, the PivotX platform was simple (as opposed to Word Press).
I have an existing site with a magazine style front page. I have a very particular CSS styling which I don't want to ignore. All I want to do is to display the blog posts (and nothing else) on the front page. i don't need any stats, keywords, headers, css, tagclouds, links or pages from anywhere else, just the blog posts displayed on my front page. In an ideal world what I would like to do is something like this:
- Code: Select all
<?php include("myheader.php);?>
<div class="blogPosts">
<?php include("pivotx/blogs.php") ;?>
</div>
<?php include("myfooter.php);?>
myheader.php and myfooter.php are files which contain the structure of my site, with the blogs.php whatever file that is required for me to include to display just the blog posts.
Secondary to that - if this is possible - the next step would be to show only the latest 5 blog posts. Again, in an ideal world I would love it to be something like this:
- Code: Select all
<?php include("myheader.php);?>
<div class="blogPosts">
<?php include("pivotx/top5blogs.php") ;?>
</div>
<?php include("myfooter.php);?>
Hopefully you understand the intention. I am extremely happy with the admin console and all the features within the admin page, however I don't need a structural site or CMS, just a web blog displayed on 2 pages of my existing site.
THANK YOU ALL SO MUCH IN ADVANCE FOR YOUR HELP. I truly do appreciate it.
As I mentioned I am completley new to this, however can this be done
