I had a requirement for some pages of my site (under development).

This was to display a block of information about the topic, with the stories appearing below this.

I had various plans of how to do this but after seeing the "Staticpage on Frontpage" code I decided to adapt this slightly.

In the code below, if you have a topic named 'foobar', a static page labelled 'foobar' will be displayed before the news stories, if it exists.

Text Formatted Code

if( empty($topic) )
{
    $staticpage_title = 'frontpage';
}
else {
    $staticpage_title = $topic;
}
$spsql = "SELECT sp_content,sp_label FROM {$_TABLES['staticpage']} WHERE sp_title = '$staticpage_title'";
$spresult = DB_fetchArray( DB_query( $spsql ));
if( $spresult['sp_label'] == 'nonews' )
{
    $shownews = 'no';
}

$display .= $spresult['sp_content'];

Oh, that's good. That's very nice dude. I'll take a longer look at it when I get a chance, and I think this can be integrated into CVS. Very slick, plus nice and simple.---Friends help you move. Real friends help you move bodies.

I think you opened the door, I just stepped through it. I made a mistake in my terminology above, it is the *title* of the static page that needs to be the same as the topic ID. The only problem I can see with releasing this is if people already have a static page with the same title as a topic ID. But this is unlikely (??)
