News module configurations?

[gnolen]

Hi there,

I am building a site that needs to have the news headlines on everypage. And if people are clicking on any news I want to list all of news written..I know I did this with the old news module but how do I do it now?

First I thought - easy just have {foreach from=$items item=entry} the rest of the detail template {/foreach} but this does not work...

Any suggestions please?

Thanks! / Gnolen

Nobody know how to have all of the news on one page?

There MUST be a way..worked with the old one!

Thanks / Gnolen

Couldn't you just make an empty page with the simple news module tag {cms_module module="News"}?
Or choose "News" as content type when making a page?

Alex,

But still all of the news will not be displayed.

Wishy - is this not possible? To have news headers somewhere and then display all of the news(full article) on a page? Sounds pretty normal to me..? Or?

You could do it with 2 different templates.  Use the original summary template for displaying just the headers.  And then make a new template (in modules/News/templates) called blahtemplate.tpl and put summarytemplate="blahtemplate" in the cms_module tag.

Does that make ANY sense?  I'm kind of preoccupied today.

Thanks Wishy and sorry for taking on your time.

This make sense and I been thinking about this to but I do not know how to get the original summary templete(the headers) to point to template I made..?

Thanks / Gnolen

Please, doesn't anyone know how to do this??? It is the only thing left on the site I am making...

{cms_module module='news' summarytemplate='mynewtemplate'}, where mynewtemplate.tpl is in modules/News/templates

Thanks Wishy,

That is not the problem. To make a template. Because if I have headlines and click on them I get directed to the detail page and there I want to list all of the news. Like you have on cmsmadesimple.org with the archive but the archive should also be showed when I click on the title on the indexpage.

Isn't that just a normal news layout?

Thanks Patricia! Sorry for the late replay but the forumnotifications are not working sometimes for me.

But how about having the news titles in the startingpage and then when I click I will come to the the detailpage(which have a different CMS template) I tried to create a news-page but this doesn't help me getting there...

Anyone know what to do?

Thanks / gnolen
