Hi All,

I am very new to CMSms and so far am quite impressed with the tool :) For some strange reason my News Module has stopped working. When I click "more" it does not click through to the news item. I just recently deleted the default content pages that comes with a fresh installation. Could this of had something to do with it? I tried reinstalling the News Module and this has not helped.

Please help ???

What does your calling of the News module look like?

{news ......}

Try creating a page, give it a name, on the options-tab uncheck "show in menu" and call news with { newsdetailpage="alias-of-the-created-page"}

I am calling the news module with the below tag:
{cms_module module='news'}

Are you saying I need to create a page and place {newsdetailpage="alias-of-the-created-page"} inside and CMSms will know to link to this page for news detail?

I will try this a little later when I get back from soccer :)

Okay I have resolved the problem :) It turns out my logic was a little off. Let me explain... I must have been a little sloppy. Basically, now I have the {news} module being called in the page's content rather than the template.

Thanks for your help RonnyK
