We are coming into the final stretch of development for the TropicalGreen site. We have the main sections of the site built, the workflow set up, the Authoring Connector in place, and the login page working. From a high-level perspective, it seems that we are just about done!
But wait! If we go to http://localhost/tropicalgreen/
what do we see?
The standard MCMS cover page shows a simple channel listing and the MCMS 2002 logo. We need to replace it with a proper home page for the TropicalGreen website, one that will serve as a starting point to all other areas of the site. While the look of the pages is important, we will not focus on the design. Instead, we will show you how to write code to pull information from different areas of the site for display on a single page. We choose the front page because it is usually the most prominent page where information should be aggregated. Of course, you can apply these techniques to any section within the site.
In this...
