CMS Made Simple Forums

Hey guys,

How do I get the News to show up like a blog--instead of summary and photo with a [more] link, just show the entire article one on top of the other?

If you want to hide the morelink, then go to Content->News

into the summary template you'll find
delete it and save.

that was it.

another solution:

Best way over ModuleManager -> B -> Blog

To prevent summary form showing in 'add news', tick the 'Hide summary field ...' checkbox in Options (or Preferences) tab in News.

Thanks for taking the time to answer my question.  I couldn't find the "Summary" checkbox you were referring to I'm afraid--and I tried to utilize the Blog version...it doesn't allow me to just show all entries (similar to this page: http://see-spot-stay.com/Dogs_for_Adoption_Dogs.html - this is static but this is basically the same idea, just entries one on top of the other); the blog shows me links which I have to click into.

Please let me know if I am doing anything wrong so I can try again--or if there are any other options I may have.

Thanks again.

In News, when adding a new news (or article, if you want to call it like that), you can see two fields (two instances of WYSIWYG editor, if you have it enabled) - the first is optional and is for summary, the second one is mandatory and for the complete content of the article.

Checking the "Hide the summary field when adding or editing articles:" checkbox in the Options tab (the last tab) of the News module (when accessed from admin in Content > News ) and confirming by Submit button hides the summary field, so that you don't type anything into summary field accidentally.

If there is nothing in the summary field, the "morelink" is not shown... Getting the idea?

Thank you Vin!  I removed the summary, but I was having difficulty finding that checkbox--nontheless it works now. 

How do I remove the link on the header?  I couldn't find the anchor label, only the {entry->titlelink}

Thank you again everybody.

Yeah, the {$entry->titlelink}. I have run into this once, too. Well, simply replace it with {$entry->title}

BAH! Logic!  Thanks Vin!
