I am currently using this CMS to create a site using basically two templates... one for the home page and one for the rest... on the home page I have a section that shows "news" and also have a "site search"

when you click on the link in the NEWS, it shows me the entire news article within the home page template... how do i force it to change templates and use the interior pages templates?? same when i do a search?

the site is http://www.aerainc.org/index.php

i am way more a designer than a programmer, so... plain english PLEASE!! ;)

thanks in advance for any help anybody out there has

tonypb,

news has a parameter called "detailpage". You can create a new content-page, give it a name, say "News" and uncheck the "show in menu" on the options-tab of that page, to make it NOT-shown in the menu.

In the calling of News you add {news ..... detailpage="news"} to push the details to that full page which you attached to the other template.

Tony,

almost the same, only is the parameter in search, resultpage......

BTW, the help of a module shows all possible parameters..
