[solved] News module

Post by zimmo »

Hi All,

Been searching for an answer to this with no success.

I have put a news tag on my home page so I can display a few news items, but the problem i have is when you click the more link it loads within the same template which is not what I want, I want it to go to the template used for the news page.

Can you do this? and how?

So that when you click the news item it uses the template that the news uses and not the home template.

Thanks

Create a page associated with any template you like. Go to the options tab and select "Don't show in menu". In your news call, do:

{news detailpage=your-new-page-alias}

Use the page alias of your new page. If you like, you can use an existing page as long as it has the correct template associated with it. The content will not show. The news detail will completely replace your {content} tag.

Look at the help for the news module. Many options.
