    I am sure that this is a stupid question, but I have no problem with it in Textpattern and am not sure how it works with EE - so my apologies from the stool in the corner in advance.

    I have a site in Textpattern (http://www.anglicanvigil.com/tge ) where under the services section I run a list of the articles on the right of the page and when they are clicked they open on the left side.  This enables a client to easily deal with the content on their own.  I did not have to do anything to make it work on that system, it just did….therefore…

    I have no idea how or if this can be done in EE.  Is there somewhere I am missing that I can go to get this info?  It works pretty much out of the chute in TXP.

    This is needed for a couple of potential clients and I am running through proof of concept exercises on it with several systems (EE, TXP, WP, etc). My preference is work with EE if possible for the scalability, stability, and support structures that come with the licenses.

    Thanks!

    You can do this easily by creating a template_group “services”

    In the index template, you can use this code

    {if segment_2 ==""}
    <!-- Services Landing Page -->
    
    {if:else}
    
    {exp:channel:entries channel="services" limit="1"}
    <h1>{title}</h1>
    {custom_fields}
    {/exp:channel:entries}
    
    {/if}

    There are many ways to do this, but template_group is the preferred one.

    Problem solved…

    Thanks!

    By using that and utilizing categories for the sidebar I was able to work out what I needed and can proceed with the rework in Expression Engine.
