I can't seem to specify which templates to use, it always goes to the default one.
Am I putting too many parameters in the tag? Can I not specify both templates in the call?
Thanks,

No

Yes, News use default template if not specificated

Code: Select all

{news category='special*' browsecat='1' summarytemplate='MySummary' detailtemplate='MyDetail}

Check sintax, detailtemplate is not close:

detailtemplate='MyDetail'}

Try to invert quote also (' -> ")

I missed the close quote when I was typing it here, I had it in the call properly.

I tried changing the single quotes ' to double quotes " but it made no difference.

Yes. I created two templates with those names and I can see them in the db.

Try with a clean call Check if works and after add other params

It all works perfectly as I add parameters until I add the browsecat="1", then it goes back to the default templates.

Search in forum for this.
I remember a problem with this param.

I've checked the forum thoroughly, but no resolution.

I've reported it on bug tracker.

Hi,

Just to let you know. This problem also occurs whitout the browsecat-option. If I set the new made detailtemplate to default, than it shows up correctly, however changing to another default template and calling the template by using

detailtemplate="Bestuursnieuws"

does not make a difference to the output.

I'm using cmsms 1.2.2

Are you using pretty URLs for news? I couldn't get the news templates to be applied after I made some modifications to use pretty URLs for news items. The only way I found to get the templates to take effect was to remove the rewrite rule I added in the .htaccess file for the news items.  There is probably a way to modify the rewrite rule to take the news template parameters into account, but that's beyond me.

I don't use prety url's. I changed the defalt template, and that works fine for me.
