I am having trouble getting CGBlog to work like i want. Here is the deal:
I have created 2 summary templates (homepage and secondpage) and one detail template (detail).
My homepage will show a couple of news (summary homepage) and the second page will display a list with all the months so the user can click on the month and view the posts for that month.
I managed to make the previous work at 50%. I managed to get the homepage when clicked to go to a specific detail page and it seems to work great:
My main problem now lays on the actual second page. This is where i would like the month list to appear (archive) and when clicked to display the summaries. here is my page code:{CGBlog category="English" summarytemplate="homepage" detailtemplate="detail" detailpage="news-coverage-ten" pagelimit="3" sortby="cgblog_date"}
It seems that CGBlog ignores my "summarypage" or "detailpage" and shows the list on my homepage where the "{content} tag is.{CGBlog action="archive" category="English" summarypage="news-coverage-ten" detailpage="news-coverage-ten" sortby="cgblog_date"}
The only way to make it work, is to go into options and select from the summary view options, the default summary and detail page. This would be ok if i had one language, though i will have 4 languages so this is not ok.
I just dont understand why the summarypage is ignored when using "archive" as action and why they are displayed on homepage.
Thanks in advance.
Below are my templates codes if they are needed.
PS: Why is there no "return link" url like in News module? Is this something i simply havent found/seen ? I ended up using a javascript goback history.
