salut fil,
thanks for the reply (thanks to Dorian, too).
I see the importance of keeping breeves and articles seperate. Maybe
if I explain what I want to do a little better, someone can help me figure
out what I should do. So:
In the site I am putting up, there are two categories of articles,
which are importantly different:
1) articles produced by the members of the siteth emselves (I call these
articles interne) and
2) articles which appear elsewhere on the net and are used as starting
points for discussion forums (articles externes).
At present, the second category (externe) is far more important than
the first. (well, we haven't really started yet, so of course that's
true). The site is supposed to be a kind of archive as well as an
eZine, and I wanted to keep the two categories rigorously seperate.
And since I don't need quite as much information about the articles
externes, I thought I would use the already-existing breves system to
store the articles externes. (right now they're stored in a flat file
which I've converted to a format that I can insert into the
database).
hmmm... Sounds like this plan goes against what SPIP is supposed to
do. I can see three options:
- drop the distinction between articles internes and externes. I
really don't want to do that.
- stick to my current plan, and modify the database & php scripts to
make them compatible with it (sounds like a lot of work?),
store both kinds of articles in the spip_articles database, but use
some tricky methods to keep them rigorously seperate.
sounds like the last one is the way to go. can anyone usggest to me
how I might do that? maybe with key words?
anyway, thanks agian for your help (et aussi pour votre patience avec
la langue anglaise!)

The "breves" are not "articles", these are two different objects. Breves
have strong limitations, such as the impossibility to be set in any
subrubrique. This is a voluntary design, and we stick to it, for the sake of
simplicity (if a breve has two dates, a substitle, an author and can be put
anywhere in the site structure, then it should be an article!)
