I cant seem to find any reference anywhere about the Summary Template Editor in the News Module.
I can see and edit the "Sample" Template and add new ones but i cant seem to find anywhere that
these templates are then used....
TIA

If you go to "Content -> News -> Summary template", you'll see that below the textarea, all listed templates are available. On of them has the mark "default". If you don't give a parameter for a specific template, this is the one being pulled.

From the help,
(optional) summarytemplate="sometemplate.tpl" - Use a separate template for displaying the article summary. It have to live in modules/News/templates.
(optional) detailtemplate="sometemplate.tpl" - Use a separate template for displaying the article detail. It have to live in modules/News/templates.
I think that you don't need the ".tpl" at the end anymore, as they are no files anymore, but stored in the DB. So call the news with something like:
Code: Select all
{news summarytemplate="yournondefaulttemplate" }
