cms_selflink tag not working in news module

[twwitt]

Hi - Using CMSMS 2.13

The cms_selflink tag is working on regular pages but not in the news module.

I see this forum post: viewtopic.php?f=8&t=59503&p=272347&hili ... le#p272347

But I don't understand either of the ways to solve problem:

1) Where does one change the setting for self link in tiny admin?
If not that, then:
2) I'm not exactly sure WHERE in my news detail and summary templates to insert {eval var=$entry->content}

Any help would be appreciated.

2) I'm not exactly sure WHERE in my news detail and summary templates to insert {eval var=$entry->content}

Wherever you want the specific content (from the News module) being displayed.

Wherever you want the specific content (from the News module) being displayed.

So, you mean replace {$entry->content} with {eval var=$entry->content} ? (Sorry I'm not more fluent in Smarty!)

I'm still also confused why an included plug-in like News isn't automatically set up to make the cms_selflink tag work, or am I missing something?

Yes. Why don't you try and see what happens?

Because if someone you don't trust can submit News (e.g. front end submission by website visitors) you might want to consider to NOT evaluate all code they enter. Obviously for security related reasons.

Now you know this use eval at your own discretion.

Thanks, I did try it, and at first I didn't think it made any change, but realized I had to also change
{$entry->summary} to {eval var=$entry->summary}, in addition to the {$entry->content} to {eval var=$entry->content} change.

So that does solve my problem.

Thanks so much for the help!

Want to mark this as SOLVED. I used to be able to click Edit on my first post, but am not able to do so. Is there another way of marking SOLVED that I'm not familiar with?
