Manage articles with a file/image manager like interface

Permalink 1 user found helpful
Can anyone point me in the direction of a tutorial or example that might show how I can go about creating a set of blocks and interfaces that will allow me to manage what I'll call articles in the style of the file/image manager?

Originally I was creating pages and inserting my customized article block into it, but this poses problems when trying to search or provide some direct access to the article data (such as RSS, or JSON feeds).
Ideally, I want to build an interface that allows me to manage a list of articles, similar to the way the file and image managers have the list of images, and then have:

1) A list block to show a list of articles based on criteria.
2) A view block that can refer to specific articles by its properties, or by querystring when linking to a dynamic page from the list of articles.
3) An edit block that will enable me to edit the article (probably re-using what I already have for the block editor).

What is the basic structure of this? Would I need to follow the image block's controller structure?

Could the default blog or one of the blogging addons do this?

I'd like functionality like the blog, but with various custom fields so that other pages on the site can access the data all in one table and produce things like maps and feeds of collated data.

Hi Rexx,

did you find the solution on this issue? I would be interested in having something similar. An example would be the following webpage

http://www.neaspec.com/applications/...

where the articles are listed according to applied filters.

No, I've not had a chance to work on it further.
