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

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?

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.

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
