[SOLVED] Latest news from specific category

[urheat]

The site has two news categories. I need to show the latest news in detail view from specific category. To be more specific: only one news from general-category.

I tried this:

Code: Select all

{news action="detail" articleid="-1" category="General"}

But category-attribute is ignored.

Can this be done?

CMSMS is 1.10. and news is 2.12.2.

Why are you using the articleid="-1" and not the number='1' parameter?...

Why are you using the articleid="-1" and not the number='1' parameter?...

Maybe I'm missing something, but do you mean like this:

Code: Select all

{news number="1" category="General"}

It works, but I need it to be in "detail-mode". This shows the news in shortened summary-mode. I also tried to add action="detail", but it didn't work.

correct.... The articleid=-1, will only work icw action=detail and doesnt take category in account. To use that, make a summary-template similar as the detailtemplate and call that summarytemplate with the number= parameter. That way you get the last entry from a specific category in the look that you want.

Thanks! That can be done

Maybe action=detail could take category-attribute in account in future news-module releases... It would be more logical I think.
