News module - is there a way to display just one article from category

Post by Zack »

Hi,

In my news module category I've several news articles but I would like to display just one particular article which is not necessarily the latest one. Of course I could create a new category with just this articles but I do not want to do that because I want this article to be remain part of the category which is displayed in the inside pages. Does anyone have a solution?

thanks,

Zack

Calguy,

Thanks, it works. But my fault, I did not clarify. I don't want the whole article (detail) to appear but just the summary with a more link. I tried with {action='default'} but it didn't work. Any suggestions?

uhm..... no there's no way to do that..... you can however use a different detail template for that one news module call, and you could build it yourself in the new detail template.
