First post so I will start off by saying hello to everyone here - these forums look to have a lot of great reading.
I am an absolute rookie so I have to say a big thank you Joss for these tutorials they have been a huge help in getting familiar with processwire and I have been really enjoying moving some very simple static sites onto it locally. Very appreciative of the time you took to put those together.
One little exercise has me a bit stumped though. I've never touched php so I'm having a little trouble adapting the logic from the simple news site tutorial to solve the following problem.
I would like to try and make an extremely simple blog that displays all posts on the front page. No nav, categories or archive functionality, purely just to get my head around a couple of things.
From my limited understanding:
Home (with header/footer includes)
A hidden page that is the parent of the posts pages
Posts (with applicable posts template)
posts index page (displays my posts the front page via a function? or would said function sit inside home.php?)
Is this an approach that would work? I have been mashing away all day like a dullard and can't seem write a function that works. I have also installed the blog theme in another dir which looks incredible but is far too advanced for me to reference at this point.
It would be awesome If somebody could point me in the right direction.
And last but not least Thank you Ryan for processwire! it is the first time I've felt enthusiastic about properly applying myself to learn a cms and its api. Once my understanding increases, I'm sure I'll be thanking you again.
