Hello,
Was wondering, I’m working on a website that will entail a CMS (probably WebYeb), I know the client wants a news page that he would like to add to daily therefor the page will need to grow longer as the days go on… is it possible to create a web page that can do this in Freeway?
Thanks J
PS I posted this in Dynamo also (by mistake)

Well, if you don’t put anything below the news element on the page and you un-check the height property for that element, or if you design your page using a table layout (CSS-layout button off, or each element has its Layer checkbox un-ticked) then the page will just grow to fit.
Another approach is to look at the inline or “box-model” layout technique, where you insert each element of your site inline within the PageDiv or a positioned HTML box, and use floats, margins and padding to create the layout within that parent container. Such a layout will “flex” to accommodate different browser font sizes as well as accepting an unlimited amount of content as needed.

You can do this by ‘looping’ a section within WebYep.
You build a small section that contains everything you need - text box, picture box etc. This section will be of fixed design though, so careful thought is needed at this stage. If built to the ‘box model’ each looped section will push others underneath it further down.
Example being tested for this very purpose! http://www.carnegiehull.co.uk/paul/history/workingmensclubs.php
Each section comprising a lump of text and a photo, is a repeated container, into which the client has put the content. It looks like the page is a coherent whole as far as the flow of copy goes, but is really just repeated template sections. If no picture is required, the box awaiting it just collapses, and the text wraps around the picture if one is present.
It is possible to rearrange the order of these stacked sections, and also where a new section appears, so it wouldn’t matter if the client wanted the newest date at the top or the bottom.
