Mark, I just came across this:

http://forum.cmsmadesimple.org/index.ph ... l#msg37000
I have a request to see if it is possible to do. I haven't read anything on the forums that would do this but...

The news module has some lovely functionality, especially with the new trigger functionality between calendars etc. But one thing I think is missing is the ability to have one image (or two) as the illustration of the news story. At the moment I am relegated to inserting the news story and including the image itself into the text, albiet aligned left or right etc. I am looking to:

Insert a title, summary, body and dates etc like it does now, but also include a content block that would hold an image or series of images that I could work with css.

Then with the template I could do a:


 
          {news item='image'}
 
 
          {news item='summary,date,more_link'}
 


Effectively breaking apart the elements of the news to use in different ways, but say also having the latest news item on a home page, with only the image and link showing.

I hope this makes sense. I have it in the right forum now.
This sounds just like what I'm looking for.  No replies on that forum post though :)

Hi Mark,
mark wrote: The News module can be changed to be another name, I did it before to make Blog module, you have to go thru every file in the News module and change the word "news" to whatever you want, be aware of upper and lower case instances, very sensitive....
Is it possible to duplicate & rename the News module on my desktop, find/replace the instances of news/News, and then upload it?

Has anyone ever used open-realty.org with CMSMS?

looks like it might be a good solution, but I don't know how to integrate it with cmsms.

That is exactly how I made the blog module, look for upper/lower case, if it's News or news it's case sensitive...
