CMS Made Simple Forums

Is ther a way to customize the way the news module looks? Both on the main page and then the news posts page?

Yes, via the stylesheet.

Nullig

You might want to check the Help section (within the CMSms Admin control panel) next time, before you ask for help.

But as Nullig stated, you can customize the way the module looks by adjusting the "summary" and "detail" templates in the "news" section in the admin control panel.

I marked this solved.

I looked through the admin and what not, i couldnt fit stuff for it, stuff like removing "posted by: etc"

That 'stuff' is generated by the smarty tags in the templates ($entry->author for instance). You can easily remove those from the template.

Good luck with it.

Thanks Chris, I"ll loook into it now, Idk if your familiar with it or not but I've been using wordpress on many sites and while setting up this new CMS, have to adjust to a lot of things!

Haven't worked with wordpress a lot, but it's true that there's a lot to adjust with CMSms, but that's the beauty of the software imho.

When I go to edit these templates under "news"

I get this:

Error 403: Forbidden
