Showing detailed news on the frontpage...

Post by andersdm »

Hello there.

First of all, this is my first question in this forum, so be kind.

I dont know if this question should go here or under the modules page (since tecnically it is a module problem) but if I placed it wrong please move it.

I have made first CMSMS site over the last couple of weeks and so far I really love this system.

Well, on to the problem:

I need to get at specific newsitem on the frontapge in full detail. Not a summary, but the whole article. I have looked through almost every thread in the forum, but there seems to be no way to do this. The only hint I have seen is the new action="detail" possibility in version 2.5.3 but the problem is that I have no idea how to use it.

I will be checking in on this thread regularly over the next few days, so feel free to ask for details.

Best Regards, Andersdm

{news action="detail" articleid="'}

Check out the help for the module.... it's pretty helpful.  :)

;D It seems that I was looking at the wrong stuff... Thought that the documentation on cmsmadesimple.org was the most helpful, obviously I was wrong  :D

Thank you so much for your help, it really made my day a great deal easier...

The documentation on the wiki is good for the Core itself and some tips for modules. The help link in the admin of your site is the best area for help on the module.
