Done.

Sorry Mark, I didn't get you there - change what?

Oh, and I thought after that the easiest way to make the list of links, since I'm doing it with yearly archives, would be to have a UDT to loop through from an arbitrary starting year, in my case 2003, until it reaches date('Y'). Yeah, I did that just now... UDT called 'news_archive_sidebar' with c...

Wow, I've been busy. Okay, here's what I did: 1) Installed the patch from the diff (see above) so I can set start/end dates for a news summary; 2) Created a new page with the alias 'news-archive' as a child of 'news'; 3) Thought a little bit, then realised the best way to do it without creating a ne...

Parfait dude. Works a treat. 

Thank you very much!

Alright, so I have my site stable at the moment and am working to fill it with copy and photos/graphics so I have a presentable 'release candidate' but I plan to try these things out as soon as I'm a little less busy. Also, this UDT sounds like a good idea because http://cmsmssite/index.php?foo=bar ...

ugh.

Deja vu. I saw this question somewhere else recently, did you search the forum? I know what you're talking about though. It can definitely be done un-automatically. I needed to port some old content to CMSMS from another website and I just added a next link using cms_selflink and setting the page al...

Sorry, haha, I just meant your solution was excellent. I guess British jokes don't work with Italians 

Will install the diff soon and let you know how it goes. Thanks again.

blast, are you God?

Agreed, it should be native to the module. Some people use it as a blog, which reminds me of WordPress' archive which appears in the sidebar. I think it was something like this that my client was looking for. I got your solution to work by the way, and I just set up a 2007 archive. There's news from...

Cheers NaN. I'll give these changes a whirl, hopefully today. Looks like I have to put together a submission for the client this morning. Lots of jpegs to add... I'll get back to you when I've created the beast with your code 

Cheers. Don't know where you are in the world but it's late here, so if I don't get a chance to try it tonight, I'll be on it first thing tomorrow.

Ok NaN, tried your mod. What changes did you make to the News mod? Because for me, while it outputs the list, it's not giving me any news items in the content block. Perhaps your News mod changes facilitated this? Also, amusingly, in the module info you made a typo: {cms_modue...} instead of modu l ...

This was posted in Product Support but no takers so far. I'm getting nervous so instead of going crazy I thought I'd bring it here: [Taken to the forum after brief message discussion with Mark!] Okay, orientation: News template. Here's the issue: I want my summary templates to display the category a...
