[SOLVED] News block/column difficulties...

[buonumore]

Hello hello!  :)

This is my very first post here, so let me quickly say THANK YOU everyone involved in this fantastic project! GREAT JOB, WELL DONE EVERYONE!!

I've already made some changes to my CMSms, but stucked with the "News" left column.

What I'm trying to do is to display the entire text, not only a part of it.

I've searched through forums and did find some informations, but could simply remove "Category" and "Posted by". I want to get the entire text displayed, that's all.

Last question: where do I change the "News" block name, to another, personalized?

THANK YOU VERY MUCH!!  :)

Have a nice weekend.

Alex,

welcome...

First, check the page-template attached to your page... There is a DIV called news, where there is a News or similar... That is the coded title for that block. Name it to whatever you want.

Second, for the full entry, modify your sample template to reflect what you want to see... When the more-link is showing then the summary is visible and the more-link will show details. When you want all to see, just dont fill the summary, and only the details, without the more-link will show... When you dont want to use the summary at all, just uncheck the tick in News-settings, to NOT show the summary-entry box, while editing an entry.

Thanks for your quick reply, Ronny!!

I finally understood how it works with the "full entry", thanks a lot for your clear informations.

How to remove the link that automatically appears with the news title?

Would it be simple to have a "News page" so that all the news are shown in a chronological order?

Actually, when you click on one of these news, it will appear right under the title of any page you were in. Example: if you were reading the "CONCERT" page, you then click the last news about "GUITARS", the guitars text will appear right under the concert title, which is not nice...

Did you understand me??

Alex,

again 2 answers

First, 2 show a News-page with nice title, just create a page, say "News". Then in your current {news}-call insert {news detailpage="news"}, where 'news' is the alias of the page you want as Title-page for your News.

Second, when you want a page with all News, just create a page, say "News", and insert the tag {news} there... All news entries will be listed there. When you want a specific order, or just a category, extend the module-call with additional parameters. For the full list of parameters, See Content -> News -> Help.

Sorry guys... I still need to know how to remove the linking from every news, please!

Thanks!

Go to the News template you use and look for {$entry->titlelink} if you don't want a link in the title change it to {$entry->title}...

[buonumore]

Thanks Doc, but con't find the line you indicated in the entire GreenHills template! 

[Dr.CSS]

In your CMS Made Simple install admin/backend go to Content > News then...

Go to the "News" "template" you use and look for {$entry->titlelink} if you don't want a link in the title change it to {$entry->title}...

[buonumore]

Hello again!

Here is the GreenHills "News" template code and I can't find what you say!

Am I looking in the wrong place or am I simply blind??

THANKS A LOT!!

Alex

Code: Select all

...

[Dr.CSS]

That is CSS/style sheet not template, does it have anything like {$entry->titlelink}? no, please reread my last post all the way thru...

[buonumore]

Could it be this??

Code: Select all

<div class="NewsSummaryLink">
<a href="{$entry->moreurl}" title="{$entry->title|cms_escape:htmlall}">{$entry->title|cms_escape}</a>
</div>

[Dr.CSS]

yes, sorry new templates aren't quite the same as older ones, just remove all but the {$entry->title|cms_escape} and you could just use {$entry->title}...

Don't worry, I appreciated your help!!
