News, RSS links and Print links

[Ziggywigged]

Hello,

I have pretty-urls set up on my cmsms site using cmsms 1.2.3 and latest news module on linux box.

Couple things re: generated rss from news module:

1. noticed that when clicking on a rss title/link, I am directed to my home page where content is replaced by detail news item. i'd like for this to load on the news page where i have {news}

2. on this news/home page i'm directed to from rss title/link, the print link takes me to the admin area. not good.

i've noticed this to be the case on 2 sites I've been working on and each is on a different server/host. any solutions?

Thanks.

Am I the only one experiencing this? I disabled pretty-urls and everything works as it should.

I could really use some help on this one. I find it hard to believe that no one else has noticed this issue with the news module and pretty-urls. Especially since I've noticed it on 2 different sites on 2 different hosts.

The news module is a little bit tricky.  Here is how to fix your problem:

1. Create a new page that will be the detail page for your news articles. 

2. In the main content area of your new page put {news} and nothing else.

3. Click the options tab, and uncheck "show in menu".  Also set the alias to whatever you like.

4. Edit your home page template and make sure the news tag looks something like this:
{news number='3' detailpage='news_page'} Where 'news_page' is whatever alias you set for your detail page.

I have found that the detail page only works properly if the {news} tag is in the content area.  If you hard code {news} into the detail page template, it doesn't work.

yep, have all that in place already.

This is regarding the RSS links that the news module generates.
