Link and post opening

Still researching CMS options, I can see my articles in the collection.

They seem to be linked correctly, but when I try to view the details of an article, I click either on an added image or on the title, but nothing happens even though I’ve filled in the post, tag, and author fields.

Do you have any ideas?

Thanks :slight_smile:

You have two pages, right?

  1. Has the collection, which is a list of articles.
  2. Is the style in which to publish the article, and uses item.
    Both pages need to be PHP.

Yes.
On page 1: I have the collection, all the items I want. But nothing is clickable, nothing links to page 2: which would display the details.

Of course, both are .php files on a PHP 8.4 server.

The Collection needs to be “aimed.” You do that through the Inspector. Once it is set up properly, clicking on an item in the Collection should take you to your Post page.

Having not found any clear explanations, perhaps I just didn’t find them in the help section, I’m struggling to follow this tutorial (it’s too fast) and I’m trying to understand the principle which doesn’t seem very complicated…

It’s not particularly complicated, but it’s non-intuitive. That’s why I wrote my Little Book of Elements CMS. Unfortunately, I had to remove it because someone thought they could just re-publish it online.

Oh! A support feature would have been really helpful…

I haven’t given up hope, but it’s definitely not intuitive :slight_smile:

Oh no, that’s a shame :sob: Can you put it back up to help users? Seems a shame to have it hidden away forever… especially as the online part of the CMS is on the near horizon :wink:

@thominator - Sell your CMS book on Apple Books - ‎Per Martins - Books

Sell it where? The Marketplace is gone, and the Store is closed ;~).

Make it with Apple Pages, export as an ePub to Apple Books, apply DRM protection. Then publish links everyone’s in awhile on this Forum. All this is free, but it takes some work to do.

If you want to sell it as a PDF, you can do this on Google Play Books. @thominator

I know how to sell eBooks. I’ve done it for 25 years now and have been one of the most successful at it during that time (if I wasn’t the first to a million in sales, I was one of the first three). However, one thing I discovered from the very beginning is that the only benefit to a middleman is a possible increase in visibility and perhaps sales. Apple and Google Books aren’t where people look to find the kind of book I write and sell, so why would I give them a cut?

Moreover, my comment was making a point about Realmac’s “support” of vendors. Realmac doesn’t seem to understand that they’re currently discouraging third-party vendors at the same time as they’re promising something “better” in the future. As someone who was at the receiving end of Guy Kawasaki’s original evangelism, and who for a couple of years was a Senior Evangelist myself, I know that you can’t send mixed signals like this and get maximum eventual response.

Keep an open mind, things are about to change…
