help understanding articles vs. html pages - Joomla! Forum - community, help and support
okay, first post , new joomla cms. having little trouble understanding articles in relation html (.asp) pages. help.
so maybe best way me ask question give example. instance, on .asp centric site have contact page have generic information (text), actual contact information , form visitor send e-mail. how done in joomla? have seen contact module (?), can't figure out how "stack" mutiple articles on page.
i figured there way have following setup on 1 page:

easiest way describe each article write page in joomla , modules containers of additional content go around mainbody of page (where actual article content is).
as modules, assign modules menu items module menu assignment window (when have module open). example, lets create uncategorized page (one not go section , category) , name contact us. write content there want , save article (which page). now, person find page, have make menu item (link) page, otherwise how able right? go modules manager in joomla , create or open modules want appear on contact page. when open find menu assignment window shows menus , menu items (links). find contact menu link there click highlight it. when save module module show on page when visits it.
regarding actual contact form....this depend on forms component use if use one, can put form right article little bit of code in page. example, use chronoforms plugin lets me , put contact form contact page, write little intro want below type in: {chronocontact}contactus{/chronocontact} gets contact form make , puts in in spot.
i bet confused
anyway, way more 1 article on page view "category" or "section" menu item type displays these pages blog style (showing multiple article intros (or full articles) on 1 long page. , yes, when view category or section blog layout menu link, these pages.
visually, think of joomla page tv dinner meat container main article content , potatoes, vegetables, , dessert module containers (positions). whenever make new article (page), part goes meat goes.
