Missing News - Summary editor in CMS admin?

Post by ozgirl »

I have just installed the latest CMS Made Simple, on adding News I notice I only have a area for content of the news and not Summary is there something i can do to get the summary to show so I may add a shortened text for the front page of my website?

I've never seen it like that by default, but there's a checkbox in 'Options' called "Hide the summary field when adding or editing articles"

To remove those you need to edit the summary template...

<div class="NewsSummaryCategory">
{$category_label} {$entry->category}
</div>

{if $entry->author}
<div class="NewsSummaryAuthor">
{$author_label} {$entry->author}
</div>
{/if}
