[solved] Making news title link to a page - I saw this before?

Post by DCX »

I once used a modification I found here which enabled me to specifiy a custom link for news titles. Now I can't find it. Does anyone know where this is?

This news modification allowed me to enter a URL into the Extra: field and then when you clicked on the news title it would take you to that URL.

Help finding this would be appreciated. Still searching...

I think you are looking for this one
http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/index.ph ... 666.0.html

It is in the Dutch board... Don't know if thats a problem. (Google Translate...)
I don't know if I made the same topic in the English T&T board

That seems like what I want to do. I don't remember translating Dutch before but the steps look simple enough. I am going to try that in a new 1.8.1.

Thank you

It worked! It was tricky because I am using a different theme with 1.8.1 and the news templates are different but I figured it out from your Dutch language thread.

If anyone else tries this with a translator, do not copy the code from Google translator. It changes the code. I should have seen that right away. All is good... for now
