Well my drupal knowledge is starting to get somewhere now just havin a question about storys and pages?
I've created a 'page' called news and made it a primary link and i have created a 'story' which is a news article how do i get the 'story' to appear on the 'news' page?
There doesn't seem to be an option on story cration to add it to a certain page like the blocks do?
Cheers

Also is there a signup
Also is there a signup module for drupal 6.x
I suspect there is some
I suspect there is some confusion here: There is a content type called 'page', just like there is a content type called 'story'. The 'page' that you created is not a webpage but just a piece of content, just like a 'story'. These different content types exist only to allow you to handle them differently.
So, you could just put your 'story' in your menu link. It has its own webpage.
If I got your question wrong and you didn't create a node of type 'page', explain how you created your 'page'. Or explain how you want all this to work, what you want your primary link to show.

The signup modules doesn't have a Drupal 6 version. Check if any of these modules do what you want:
Subscriptions module
http://drupal.org/project/subscriptions
Notifications module (which require 2 more)
http://drupal.org/project/notifications
http://drupal.org/project/messaging
http://drupal.org/project/token
Ah I see what you mean, in a
Ah I see what you mean, in a way what i'm gettin at is, for instance on the home page you can add multiple stories right?, so how do i have multiple stories on another link that was created using 'create page' and made a primary link?
Because it's a news page i want one story then underneath another story etc etc....
Not with 'create page',
Not with 'create page', because that kind of 'page' is just another piece of content. If you want a webpage like Drupal's front page listing your 'stories', you could install this simple module:
http://drupal.org/project/get_content_type
This will produce URLs like
node/type/storywhich you can put in your menu, to list all your 'stories' (and no other content type).Another way to create listings of posts is taxonomy. If you set up some categories and tag some of your posts with these categories, then automatically you will have listing pages for those posts, with an URL like
taxonomy/term/xx(where xx is the id of a category that you created).The most powerful module for producing many kinds of lists of posts is the http://drupal.org/project/views module. You can have the views module produce a webpage or a block, or even insert a view in another post as you initially tried to do.
I thank you so much!
This answer is perfect! Others just told about making menu links without the preamble of explaining that the story needs a link to be shown on the page rather than being able to choose the page it would go to. This cleared up the confusion in a very nice way. Thanks again!
Placing content on a given page
chris.lord, I think your question looks like a common beginner one about how to "place" a node (story, etc.) onto a specific page on the site.
If so, I just made another post on the topic; see this thread.
http://drupal.org/node/305603
On a tangent: discussions get muddled a bit by Drupal's use of the word "page" to mean a specific node type, when "page" also has the generic meaning of "a web page". I myself like to capitalize the node type names (Page, Story, Bog Entry, etc.) to avoid such confusion (as mentioned at http://www.drupalace.com/EDAM/terminology ), but that's just me, not standard practice.
Sorry, mumbling to myself a bit there. : )
