How do I create a News page with articles from different channels?
How Do I?
I wanted to create a frontpage news with about 10 articles per page, the article has 2 fields mainly the poster image and the short description, these articles can come from any channels thats why its News as in whenever a latest entry will be created from any channel will show up on top of the news page. I do not want 10 entries per channel showing on the news page but 10 entries from any channel that was posted the latest. How to do this?
It is described here:
https://docs.expressionengine.com/latest/channel/channel_entries.html#channel
From which channel to show the entries (will show all channels if no channel is specified). Additionally, you can use the pipe character to separate multiple channels:
channel=”channel1|channel2|channel3”
if you add to this orderby, sort and limit, you will get total of 10 entries, ordered by date, from channels you specify
limit=”10” orderby=”date” sort=”desc”
Yes i get it i have to do this {exp:channel:entries channel="news" limit="10"}
{title}
{body} {/exp:channel:entries}
But my problem is the Body field
What if the body field is different from the other channel lets say Channel 1 has Title Short text description
While Channel 2 has Title Audio file
So that would be confusing.
Use a conditional maybe? If field 1 exists display it, else display field 2.
