A problem with the news module

[handcoded]

Hi

I'm revamping my website and have run into a small issue. On the home page in the right hand sidebox is a slightly customised news feed which is being used to show-off my web portfolio and shows a title, image, brief and read more link. It works absolutely fine allowing website visitors can read both the summary and details on a hidden page called latest projects.

I also have a portfolio page on which I would like to list say 5 completed projects at a time showing both the summary and detail but only the summary is shown. I tried {news action="detail"} but that did not work.

Example: http://www.handcoded.co.uk/switch/index ... =portfolio

Thanks

Hi handcoded,

When using action="detail" you also need to use the articleid="" parameter.

Hope this helps,

Hi Rolf

I remember reading that. The problem is that I'd like to load about 5 articles on the portfolio page.

Thanks anyway

Then you may need to call it 5 times, one for each...

Or make a new summary template that calls the content/detail part only but truncates it to x amount of text and the title link can go to a more full detail...
