Newbie at News Module Template

[vdohar]

Hi folks,
I am in the midst of setting up all my the templates and CSS files before I start adding the content. This is what CMS suggests and it makes sense. So far it has been going well considering I have had little HTML and practically no CSS knowledge prior to diving right in.  Right now I am trying to figure out which template is used to display when a user clicks on a news item in the sidebar.  The page/template that always displays with the details of the news item is the CMS Made Simple template that came with the installation and not my custom template.  Is it a template file or a CSS file that I should update somewhere? Thanks for your help.
Vic.

Unless you specify otherwise, the news story will display in the same page that it it linked from, using the template shown in the Default Templates tab.

In order to make it display in a different page with a different template, you need something like:

{new detailpage='page-name' detailtemplate='TemplateName'}

Hope that makes sense.

Ok That makes some sense. Since most of my formating and modification is done in a custom CSS file that is used by my custom generic template (I used the CMS template provided with minor modifications), where do I state that the detail news template is to use my custom CSS file?

If you make changes to default new CSS and attach it to template it should change look, if you have a totally new news CSS attach it to template...
