[workaround] news module Error 500 on using custom template.

[tshirtman]

Hi,
I'm using cmsms1.0.4 on linux(2.6.17.7)  and everything seems ok, I put a {news} in the home page template, that's ok, but I want the news details to be displayed using a different template as the home page (mainly to don't get the list of news under the news details).

Code: Select all

{news number='5' category='General' dateformat="%d/%m/%y" detailtemplate="news.tpl"}

I put a template (the same as my home page but without the call of news module) in /modules/News/templates/ but it result in getting an "unexpected error" (500) when I clic on the "more..." button. I don't get the issue, Any Idea?

Error 500 - Internal server error

Did you check the rights on the template you put there.

I personally don't use it like this, I work with 'detailpage' instead. If you do so, you can attach the different template to that specific detailpage. Besides with the use of detailpage, you push the news-content to the content-area, so there might not even be the need to have a specific template, the detailpage can have its own title 'News' f.e.

I created a page called 'News', on the options-tab, unchecked 'Visible in menu', and give 'detailpage='News'' as a parameter instead of the template.

The permissions are set to 755... I had tryied your way too, and had issues too (and this way seemed more "clean" from a programming point of view) , but now it works, think I'll stick with it.  .

thanks !

Where the rights on the folders under Modules/News also open? I mean 'News' self and 'templates' as well.
