SOLVED : How to style the 'morelink' in the news module

[Eskymo]

I gave up and just did this:

{$entry->morelink} »

the » creates the same arrow as my graphic but it's grey rather than pink and I'm not that bothered about stylingit further.

Any idea how to get 'Return' to say 'Back to news'?

Also if I have my pagelimit set to 5 as below:

Code: Select all

{news moretext="read more" detailpage="newsdetail" pagelimit="5"}

why is my news page not paginating? I removed the following code:

Code: Select all

{if $pagecount > 1}
<p>{if $pagenumber > 1}
{$firstpage} {$prevpage} 
{/if}
{$pagetext} {$pagenumber} {$oftext} {$pagecount}
{if $pagenumber < $pagecount}
 {$nextpage} {$lastpage}
{/if}</p>
{/if}

As that paginated each individual news story - not ideal. I want to be able to show 5 news stories on the news page and if the number increases for the page to automatically display a next button. Is that possible?

why are you giving up??

I've got a bad cold, I've been working on this all day and getting nowhere, and cmsms is running soooooo unbelievably slow....all leading to me just using the simple solution of adding » instead of battling with the stylesheet and template.

[lollipop27]

but its not that difficult.... I managed, with the two css styles.... it worked!

don't give up 


With that Return button, you can change it in the language file..... i'll find out for you....

[lollipop27]

go to file: modules > news > lang > en_US.php

Code: Select all

$lang['news_return'] = 'Return';

in Line 159



change 'return' to what you want....

you are an absolute star but I have no idea where you mean...

there is not 'file' my main menu consists of main, content, layout, users & groups, extensions, site admin, my preferences, view site, logout.

clicking on 'modules' under the 'Extensions' menu just gives me the modules help page

[lollipop27]

sorry.... file meaning in the explorer.... real proper file.... the ones you can edit in an editor....

oops.... I'm trying to help and confusing you even more.... you should drink a hot tea for your cold.... or as we say in bavaria.... a warm beer!!!!

Oh I see - that's juts me being totally brainless...thanks...I'm off to bed.
