News Module Archiving

[asim]

Hi,

We have recently added the news module to our site, I understand that on the homepage “news summary” section we control how many news items to display, but when you go to the actual news page (which displays ALL news items), we are faced with the issue of having dozens of news items, I was wondering if it was possible to have “page 1, 2, 3” so that all news items can be viewed, and eliminating unnecessary scrolling of the page. Is there anything in place to do this? Like a news archiving system? Or can anyone suggest the best method to achieve this?

Thanks

Hi,

I don't know is this could do the job, but it's the solution I'm using at http://90plan.ovh.net/~patrimoi/new/index.php?page=agenda
create different news categories ; then create new pages with each category's name in the menu, and in the content area the tag

Code: Select all

{news category='name_of_the_ category'}

I've also added an "archive" category using the tag

Code: Select all

{news showarchive='true'}

Hope this helps,

cheers,

Dany
