    Hi.

    This might be a silly question but I want to know if you can have Custom Field Groups inside each other?

    I want to display Latest News (with one set of custom field groups) and then as you publish more pages they will become sub pages using the “view” page.
    I would like a sub page (with a different set of custom field groups) to have different fields to fill in for the client for example a Press Release page so they can upload images, PDF’s etc. The sub pages look different to the top level nav in terms of CSS.

    Do you suggest I -

    1: change the CSS to accomodate this and just create press Releases as a top Level page

    2: or is there another way of doing this?

    Thanks again
    Amanda

    Hi Amanda,

    You can’t nest custom field groups but I think the Pages Module is what you’re after. You can use different weblogs and have them appear at closely related URLs.

    Cheers
