Thanks for your reply and i tried to make those changes but it does not seem to have an effect on the URL or the way the page displays.
i tried clearing the cache several times before and after the changes were made.

mrk,

what if you try to push it to a "detailpage"; it might open it in the content-area. You can give it as a parameter in the calling of news

{news detailpage="news"}

Have you tried to deactivate PrettyURL / mod_rewrite?

[mrk]

Just tried it and thr URL changes but i still can not get it to show the details of the News Item.

Have you tried to define a page for showing details?

Hello

I had about same problem ... until I realize it's ... somehow correct
The news page you create is using Summary Template. When you click [more] ... you will use Detail Template.
The same template is used for the home page and for News page.
Maybe a solution is to modify the Summary Template to always show {eval var=$entry->content} if the page is different than start page (a php check in the template).

Sorin

man i am really getting frustrated with this.

i have specified the details page and that take you to the right page but it still just out puts the Summary Template and when you click the link to read more the URL changes but it still never shows the details in the detail temlplate.

i tried to set up a separate detail template like frontline suggested, that outputs the details but it just list all the news items not the specific on that the URL specifies.

PleASE!

there has got to be something that i am missing.

my next thought is to install step back and install News 2.1 instead of 2.2

maybe that will do it because i know i have a version of it running on another site and had no problems with it.

Fixed. 

You needed to replace the:

{news}

in your "News" page template with:

Code: Select all

{content}

Making the Page of Content type "News" automatically calls the News module. The only reason to use the {news} tag
would be if the page was still of content type "Content" then you would paste {news} into the page's Content textarea.

I would always use {content} in page templates.

Glad I could help,

Elijah
