Yeah, it should be able to. If you integrate yogi's PageBuilder plugin too, that would certinly be a good addition if you want to run a CMS style site.

Hope that helps.

On a related note, can Links break a article to span multiple pages? I'm thinking of using Links as a CMS for a tutorials/articles site as well, but need this feature.

I'm not sure if GT have anything up their sleves, but as far as I know this isn't currently possible. I would imagine that you could do it via a Plugin though.

Cheers

I'd really like info on this as well. I am really interested in standardizing my portal site on GT products with LSQL as the focal point.

Any info would be appreciated.

Hi,

Not out of the box no. However, if you are using dynamic pages this would be fairly easy to do. You could add extra columns for each page, and then in the template for the detailed page, just create links to the same URL but passing in page=2, and use template tags to control which field is displayed.

Hope this helps,

Alex

Also what plugins are you running?
